Cry-Baby-trump and Petey Hegseth go full Sharia Law and vow to livestream an execution of a convicted killer.

@Convivial Public hangings used to be staged in London to "deter" criminal offences such as pickpocketing. They ceased when public authorities noticed that incidents of pickpocketing tended to peak around large gatherings of people such as public hangings . . .

@SunshineGirl I think there's two reasons for this decision... The need to appear tough and a strong streak of vouyerism.... Disgusting is the only word that comes to mind... Hopefully Brutus was right when he said the evil that men do live long after them

@Convivial Bread and circuses . . The ringmaster does not seem to have got the balance right and may yet regret his bloodlust 🤡

@jackjjackson The only countries to have recently staged public executions are Iran and Afghanistan. The USA follows a distinguished tradition.
