January 1, Trump Greenlights Firing Squad for Fort Hood Terrorist

Wyatt’s Take

• Trump is delivering justice for the victims of the Fort Hood attack by approving the firing squad for the jihadist shooter.
• Radical House Democrats and their allies will likely cry foul and call this cruel, but real Americans know this is long overdue accountability.
• This decision shows the administration putting American lives and military families first instead of worrying about foreign terrorists’ feelings.

The President signed off on the firing squad execution for the Fort Hood jihadist who killed American soldiers in cold blood. This marks the first use of the method under current federal rules since the change was made to restore the original intent of capital punishment.

Critics on the left are already lining up to call the punishment barbaric, but they ignore the barbarism the shooter brought to the base that day. Families who lost loved ones have waited years for closure while the legal system dragged its feet.

“This is about justice for our troops and their families,” a White House official stated.

The Fort Hood attack left a permanent scar on the military community. Dozens were wounded and thirteen service members lost their lives in the rampage carried out by the jihadist.

Some lawmakers from the far-left are already signaling they will push legislation to block firing squads entirely, arguing it violates modern standards. Supporters of the measure say those standards should not apply to terrorists who target soldiers on American soil.

Trump’s decision aligns with promises he made on the campaign trail to restore law and order and to stop treating terrorists with kid gloves. The move also sends a message to any future attackers that the United States will respond with strength.

Wyatt Matters

Middle America knows that justice delayed is justice denied. Families who send their sons and daughters to defend this country deserve to see the guilty punished without endless appeals or special treatment for terrorists.
