Montana bar invites patrons to livestream execution of Fort Hood killer

A Montana bar has declared its intentions to host a watch party for the livestreamed execution of Nidal Malik Hasan, the 67-year-old former Army psychiatrist who murdered 13 soldiers at Fort Hood in Texas back in November 2009. The venue is Mike's Alcan Bar & Grill, sitting right here in Frenchtown. Owner Mike Shamoon issued an invitation to patrons for December 3 specifically to witness Hasan being killed by a firing squad after Pete Hegseth, the current Secretary of War, announced that the event would be broadcast live to the public. This move marks a stark departure from tradition; such public executions have not occurred in America for nearly a century.

Shamoon's excitement was palpable when he posted on Facebook: 'We will be hosting a watch party for the livestream of this overdue execution. Come on down to Mike's Alcan and watch this scumbags soul scream on its way to hell! God Bless America, our Troops, our Marines and most importantly The Infantry!' He took over the establishment earlier this year. Shamoon is not just any random owner; he served in the US Marine Corps. 'I was assigned to Third Battalion Eighth Marines Kilo Company Second Platoon,' he wrote on another post. 'I deployed Twice in the Global War on Terror Including to Afghanistan then left the Marine Corps to work as a Security contractor for the DOD, Private Bodyguard, Private Investigator and Bounty Hunter.'

The details of the event are now public record. The livestream watch party is set for December 3 at 1pm local time. The bar will open its doors that morning at 11am so people can get ready to see Hasan's end. Several netizens jumped into the comments section to back Shamoon up. One user shouted, 'Let's celebrate!!! See you there!' Another admitted they wouldn't be physically present but added, 'Won't be there, but I'll raise a glass in celebration!'

President Donald Trump has given his approval for the public execution of Hasan, though he noted that a final determination still needs to be made. The gravity of what happened on November 5 cannot be overstated. Hasan, who was paralyzed from the waist down following the attack, killed Michael Cahill, 32, Librado Caraveo, 52, Justin DeCrow, 32, John Gaffaney, 56, Fredrick Greene, 29, Jason Hunt, 22, Amy Krueger, 29, Aaron Nemelka, 19, Michael Pearson, 22, Russell Gilbert Seagar, 51, Francheska Velez, 21, Juanita Warman, 55, and Kham Xiong, 23. Thirty-two others were injured in the ambush that turned a military base into a nightmare.

Nidal Hasan faces his end in a way that echoes through history. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has pushed forward, and President Donald J. Trump gave the final nod. The method is clear: death by U.S. Army firing squad. This marks only the second such execution since 2010. Chief Pentagon Spokesman Sean Parnell confirmed the grim reality on social media. 'Judgement day for Hasan has finally come,' he wrote with stark certainty.

Hasan will be just another name in a long list, but his story is specific. He opened fire on unarmed American soldiers at Fort Hood back in 2009. Thirteen people died that day. Thirty-two others were wounded while shouting 'Allahu Akbar'. His execution follows Trump's approval of Hasan's public death penalty. This order triggered a series of procedural steps toward carrying out the sentence. Yet, hope for delay remains alive. The killer could put them on hold – potentially for years – with a habeas corpus appeal in the civilian federal court system. An article published in May by the magazine Army Lawyer outlined this legal lifeline.

The last execution happened decades ago. It took place in April 1961 when US Army Private John Bennett was executed by hanging at Fort Leavenworth in Kansas. He died for rape and attempted murder of an 11-year-old girl while stationed in Austria. Hasan's case is different, yet the machinery turns slowly. Trump´s approval triggered these steps, but civil courts hold significant power to pause proceedings. The Army Lawyer detailed how appeals can stretch a timeline indefinitely.

Two other names from that fatal day must be remembered alongside him. Juanita Warman was 55 years old when she died. Kham Xiong was only 23. Hasan was left paralyzed after being shot in his spine during the deadly attack, making him unable to walk ever again. His execution stands as a grim milestone for the military justice system. Hegseth also circulated Parnell's message on X with a one-word reaction: 'Justice.'

The Daily Mail contacted Shamoon for comment regarding these unfolding events. Regulations and government directives shape how this play unfolds before the public eye.
