While I strongly oppose the death penalty on both practical and ethical grounds, given that the death penalty exists, I have no problem with firing squads, which seem more humane than the other methods of execution on the books in the US.
In fact, if I were to be executed, and I were given a choice of method, I would choose a firing squad.
Moreover, I actually agree that executions, so long as they remain legal, should be open to the public and the media, with restrictions similar to those that apply to courtroom proceedings in place to temper sensationalism, though almost certainly for very different reasons than Hogseth. Specifically, for reasons of transparency and accountability.
Countries who, having abolished public execution, have brought it back: I think literally just Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union? (And honestly the Soviet example was a bit of an edge-case). Nice company you’re keeping there, Pete.
Christianity and Christ are two separate things. The names of political affiliations rarely capture the actual goals of the policies. Conservatives are against preserving many things, and liberals are against allowing many things.
All the barbarism, societal regression and cruelty aside, I don't even think it's much of a deterrent seeing how the guy is an Islamist and their whole thing is martyrdom for their beliefs... If anything, it's giving him more exposure and setting an example for fellow extremists to follow.
Yeah. I can't wait for the public execution of Hesgeth, war criminal, and Trump, traitor to the constitution he swore to obey, and every congressman and senator who didn't vote to impeach him and are therefore complicit. Add also everyone complicit in the "Iraq has WMD" lie and John Yoo who wrote the legal brief that made torture legal.
Now look at Trump's pardon list and tell me what is being encouraged here.

List of countries with public executions: Iran, Afghanistan, Yemen, North Korea, Somalia, and the USA.
Maybe in an arena where the executioner drives a monster truck?

these people are ghouls.
I'll probably be busy and catch the replay. NO SPOILERS!
Another fake Christian.

“Thou shalt not kill.”
“Did I stutter?” —God, probably
Christianity that supported salivary and other horrible crimes
