Loomer Attacks Pentagon Pete’s TV Firing Squad With Twisted New Demand
DUSTIN CHAMBERS / REUTERS Laura Loomer has some disturbing ideas about how the Fort Hood mass shooter should spend his final moments.
The far-right Trump ally is demanding that Nidal Hasan’s mouth be sealed shut when Pete Hegseth livestreams his execution by firing squad.
The Trump whisperer wrote on X about the planned Dec.
3 execution of Nidal Hasan, a 56-year-old former Army psychiatrist who killed 13 people and wounded 32 at Fort Hood, Texas, on Nov.
5, 2009.
Hasan shouted the Arabic phrase “Allahu Akbar” before opening fire; Loomer said he shouldn’t be allowed to do so again.
“When Nidal Hassan is publicly executed, it’s going to be imperative that his mouth is totally sealed shut with wire or some type of a tape so that we don’t need to listen to him scream ‘Allahu Akbar’ before he meets his fate via firing squad,” Loomer, 33, wrote, misspelling his name.
“It would be a jihadists dream come true to be able to be heard shouting out to Allah before dying at the hands of the Department of War,” she continued.
“He deprived his victims of their voice and so his mouth should be sealed shut so he can’t pray to Allah in the end.
We shouldn’t let Nidal’s voice be heard in his final moments when his public execution is livestreamed.
Nobody wants to listen to Allahu Akbar.
Absolutely nobody.” The plan to livestream Hasan’s execution has drawn bipartisan backlash, including from a survivor of the shooting.
“To show the whole thing without it being censored for the general public, for me personally, I don’t agree with that, but it’s not about my personal belief,” Alonzo Lunsford, a 59-year-old former Army sergeant and Purple Heart recipient whom Hasan shot seven times, told BBC Radio 4 last week.
He added that execution by firing squad was still “befitting.” “I don’t really have any sympathy for him as far as firing squad versus lethal injection, hanging, or gas chamber, because he didn’t have that same compassion when he did the deed on 5 November,” Lunsford said.
