“Death penalties should be public, should be quick, it should be televised. I think at a certain age, its an initiation…What age should you start to see public executions?” Kirk asked.
Kirk, along with his co-hosts Jack Posobiec, Tyler Bowyer and Blake Neff, continued to discuss at what age should children watch the public executions, with one co-host pointing out as young as 12 years old.
At the end people watched his public excecutions
We can’t let kids see gay things! But watching someone get murdered is totally cool.
America is a country of violent prudes. There’s a reason we rate violent movies lower than movies with “sexual content”.
Yep. Beheading where the head flies all over the place? No problem, 12+.
Hint of a single tit? Freakout, 18+!
They already do. It’s called school shootings. They have drills and everything. It’s quite fucked up.
let’s desensitize them to violence as early as possible, WCGW.

I’d be open to him taking the first step and broadcasting his own so then we can decide how to move forward.
I have been privy to people’s reactions to watching videos, even grainy distorted ones of executions or accidental death. While adults are generally fairly innocculated against depictions of death that are known to be fictional the same is not true of the real thing. There is good reason why even barely legible death caught on film is aired on news broadcasts with warnings and particularly graphic ones are not broadcast at all. While I think I sit somewhere on the less effected side (effected but very good at compartmentalization) a lot of the people I have personally witnessed veiw footage have been generally very perturbed to the point where the mental disquiet lingers for days after the fact.
Young children are generally perturbed by depictions of theatrical or even loosely conceptualized death in print. While some might seem brave in the face of fictional gore it’s basically just playing brave and flouting their idea of being tough when what they are being tough against is a safe little fiction. People who like slasher movies aren’t immune to being traumatically impacted when exposed to real death on film.
I find it very telling that there is this mental disconnect that children being “exposed” to the depictions of same sex relationships which are often depicted in the same chaste presentation heterosexual relationships are for age appropriate audiences is somehow “disturbing” while something legitimately traumatizing to the average adult is somehow something kids should be exposed to in the most graphic way possible.
I don’t think this man should be permitted to be around children much less advocate for what constitutes an initiation into adulthood.
Simple - they want children to think two boys kissing is scary and taboo, but want children to think hanging a boy in the public square for kissing a boy is super cool and normal.
Yeah, the unvarnished answer is usually about that ugly isn’t it?
Stumbled across an execution on 4chan once in my early twenties. The moment I realized what was up I closed the browser and never returned to 4chan. It still pops up in my head every now and then as an intrusive thought.
If anyone ever tried to force one of my kids to watch an execution I’d lose my damn mind, regardless of their age.
In a way I’m glad to hear it affected you so much. I think that’s generally healthy.
His execution?
congrats you predicted it
I completely forgot I wrote this… Maybe I should go get a lottery ticket.
Yours first, bitch.
Are you Nostradamus?
And banned for advocating violence. Considering today’s comments, aged like milk
Oof. How did you even figure that out?
Well, I saw the big Banned from this community tag next to this comment (on the default Lemmy website) and three dots -> See <user name> moderation
Maybe on the Voyager app it’s different. Thanks again!
Hamas has a great deal of knowledge in the area of public executions.
As much as I believe there are some whut deserve it, and boy howdy, do I, I’m not a bloodthirsty revenge hobo.
I just want folks to not be traitors, not be opportunistic thugs, not be Nazis, and not kill/wish to kill innocents that just want to live.
It’s really simple: don’t do that shit to others, don’t suck the dicks of those who tell you to, stay the fuck off and out of people’s bodies, don’t use God or whom/whatever as an excuse to be a cunt, and mind your own fucking business.
When children are exposed to real life violence, many end up experiencing future developmental and emotional problems. This isn’t the same as a movie or video game, we’re talking about real human death.
