Allowing the death of Nidal Hasan to be witnessed by millions of people doesn't elevate it or make the sentence more effective. To the contrary, it cheapens the action, turning what should be the most somber of penalties into a carnival-like act. It degrades the dignity of life.
Televising the execution of Nidal Hasan would not make the penalty more effective or somber. Instead, it would cheapen the action and turn a solemn penalty into a carnival-like event. This practice would degrade the dignity of life.
- Televising Nidal Hasan’s execution would not enhance its effectiveness.
