特朗普取消了对福特胡德枪手执行死刑的计划直播。总统表示,只有2009年大规模枪击案受害者的直系亲属才能目睹陆军少校尼达尔·马利克·哈桑的执行。
Trump Cancels Planned Livestream of Fort Hood Shooter’s Execution The president said only immediate families of the victims of the mass shooting in 2009 would witness the execution of Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan.
特朗普总统周四取消了五角大楼计划对这名陆军军官的死刑进行直播的安排,该军官因2009年福特胡德大规模枪击案被定罪。
President Trump on Thursday canceled the Pentagon’s planned livestream of the execution of the Army officer who was convicted in the 2009 Fort Hood mass shooting.
五角大楼官员上周表示,尼达尔·马利克·哈桑少校的死刑将通过直播进行广播。他在2009年于德克萨斯州福特胡德军营杀害13人、致32人受伤。但特朗普周四表示,只有哈桑受害者的直系亲属才能亲临现场观看执行。
Pentagon officials said last week that the execution of Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, who killed 13 people and wounded 32 others at Fort Hood, Texas, would be broadcast via livestream. But Mr. Trump said Thursday that only immediate families of Mr. Hasan’s victims would be able to watch the execution in person.
他写道:“许多非常好且出于善意的人宁愿不通过流媒体或任何其他视觉设备观看他死去。”他还说:“他将按计划在预定时间通过枪决处死,但此次事件不会进行直播。”
“Many very good and well meaning people would rather not watch him die, through streaming, or through any other visual device,” he wrote on social media. “He will die, as scheduled, by firing squad, but this event will not be streamed.”
国会民主党和共和党人对国防部长皮特·赫格塞思计划直播枪击事件的做法表示批评,甚至副总统JD·范斯也对该计划表示怀疑。
Democrats and Republicans in Congress panned Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s plan to livestream the shooting, and even Vice President JD Vance expressed doubt about the plan.
他说:“我不打算去观看。”他补充道:“我不知道这实际上会不会发生。”五角大楼表示,哈桑的死刑定于12月3日下午1点在枪击案发生的同一陆军基地进行,这一直播计划也引起了退役军官、宗教领袖甚至一些幸存受伤士兵的广泛谴责。
“I’m not going to be watching it,” he said. He added: “I don’t know that that’s actually going to happen.”The plan to broadcast Mr. Hasan’s execution, which the Pentagon said is scheduled for 1 p.m. on Dec. 3 at the same Army post where the massacre took place, had also drawn widespread condemnation from retired military officials, religious leaders and even some of the wounded soldiers who survived.
周三,数十名退役海军上将、将军和其他军官发表了一封公开信,反对该计划。
On Wednesday, dozens of retired admirals, generals and other officers published an open letter opposing the plan.
“直播此次处决显然会违背被判死刑者的基本人类尊严,”他们写道。“它把社会成员因犯下最严重罪行而应受的庄严惩罚,变成了供窥视者和旁观者享受的狂欢。”“这种剥削性的广播 — — 会贬低人类尊严 — — 将玷污使用它的军队的荣誉,以及允许它的国家的荣誉,”他们补充道。
“Livestreaming this execution would clearly violate the basic human dignity of the condemned prisoner,” they wrote. “It turns what should be the solemn and grave punishment of a member of our society for committing the most serious crimes into a carnival for the enjoyment of voyeurs and spectators.”“This type of exploitative broadcasting — that debases human dignity — will taint the honor of the military that employs it, and a nation that allows it,” they added.
在接受《真实美国之声》采访时,赫格塞思先生表示,他支持公开处决哈桑先生,“因为人们需要明白,做这种事会有严重后果。”特朗普先生在社交媒体上的帖子中主张,直播处决“可能会起到强有力的威慑作用”,以展示“美国如何对待像哈桑这样的恐怖分子和渣滓”,但他表示此事不会推进。
In an interview with Real America’s Voice, Mr. Hegseth said he supported the public execution of Mr. Hasan “because people need to understand that there’s serious consequences for these types of things.”Mr. Trump, in his post on social media, contended that streaming the execution “might have been a strong deterrent” to show how “America deals with Terrorists and SCUM like Hasan,” but he said it would not go forward.
