Donald Trump has axed the live stream of the execution of Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan who killed 13 people at Fort Hood, Texas. Only the victims families will be allowed to observe the execution.

Hasan is scheduled to die by firing squad in December.

It was a hare-brained idea from the start. The United States, even under an authoritarian administration like Donald Trump's, should not stoop to the level of Iran, North Korea and Afghanistan -- and ISIS.

    damaged individual. Only a sociopath like him would think livestreaming this would be a good idea.

    I believe it is tied his religion. Glorifying death and bloodlust seems to run rampant in all extreme religionists. He is no different than ISIS.
