‘It Can’t Happen Soon Enough’: Army Sets Dec. 3 Firing Squad for Fort Hood Shooter Nidal Hasan

The acting secretary of the Army has announced the official date Nidal Hasan will face the firing squad. Hasan will die on December 3 at Fort Hood, Texas. Hopefully, they are way better at this than the people who were managing the Christa Pike death penalty in Tennessee.

The execution of Nidal Hasan by firing squad will take place at Fort Hood, Texas on Thursday, December 3rd, 2026, at 1 p.m. CT. https://t.co/re7BpqkSN4

It can't happen soon enough.

Well ... Bye

@SecArmy @LoriD4Christ What channel will it be on

Excellent question.

@SecArmy They’re doing it at Hood? That is so incredibly BASED. Execute the criminal at the scene of his crime.

As it should be.

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has recommended — and President Donald J. Trump has approved — death by U.S. Army firing squad for convicted terrorist Nidal Malik Hasan, the jihadist who opened fire on unarmed American soldiers at Fort Hood in 2009. He killed 13 people and wounded 32 others while shouting “Allahu Akbar” during the attack. The Secretary of the Army will set the time and place of the execution. Judgement day for Hasan has finally come.

As a reminder, here is what led to Nidal Hasan finally facing the firing squad.

@SecArmy Will this be a Pay per View or live streamed?

America could pay off part of the National Debt with those fees.

Please reconsider the protocol: I understand that civilian leadership thinks a firing squad is really, really cool, but it is traditionally regarded as an honorable form of execution. Wilhelm Keitel, Alfred Jodl, and Hermann Göring all requested execution by firing squad by the U.S. Army sentenced them to death by hanging for exactly this reason. Hasan killed 13 of my brothers in the most despicable manner - he deserves the rope.

Some think the firing squad is too good for Hasan. They're probably right.

@SecArmy @ladydshops Let’s see how many judges with unpronounceable names will attempt to block the path of justice.

@TheTexasBoomer @SecArmy @ladydshops No Judge has jurisdiction over military trials and punishment!

@GregAlford18 @SecArmy @ladydshops After military appeals are exhausted, a service member in custody can petition a U.S. district court for a writ of habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2241. A federal district judge, or a circuit judge, can stay the execution while that petition is heard.

If there is any way to halt it, a Leftist federal judge will find it.

Sir. Say someone was nearby that day, with the intention of witnessing or at least hearing the shot. Where could they go? Pure dumb luck kept me out of the Readiness Center that day, as I was supposed to pick up my medical records to PCS. I spent the rest of the day guarding a door with orders to shoot anyone attempting entry until the all clear was given. I very much would appreciate being nearby when he finally gets his long overdue justice.

If only they'd sell tickets. It would sell out.
