Alonzo Lunsford was one of the victims of the 2009 shooting by Nidal Hasan who lived and he is preparing to attend Hasan’s execution by firing squad.
This man really does not need to explain to anyone why he is attending the execution, but that’s just what he did today during an appearance on FOX News.
Lunsford was quite eloquent in his reasoning, and said that this is about closing a chapter.
From FOX News:
More than 15 years after surviving several gunshot wounds during a terrorist attack at Fort Hood, retired Staff Sgt. Alonzo Lunsford is preparing to watch the man who shot him be executed.
Speaking on “America’s Newsroom,” Lunsford explained why he wants to attend the execution, which President Donald Trump recently approved to be carried out by firing squad.
“You live by the sword, you die by the sword,” Lunsford said. “And the way that he went about doing his deed was a coward’s way because we didn’t have any way to defend ourselves that day.”…
Standing at 6-foot-9, Lunsford was shot several times, including once in the head. He believes attending the execution could bring closure to survivors and grieving families.
“It’s for two reasons. One is to give the families of the deceased a chance to close a chapter and also the survivors to close a chapter,” Lunsford said of the execution.
“And it sends a clear message that we will not stand for this activity in any of our armed services or in the United States,” he added.
Lunsford said that for him and others affected by the attack, even holidays are not the same, adding that families of the deceased will “never get a chance to cherish a Christmas, a Thanksgiving, an Easter” with their loved ones again.

Some people on the left are clutching their pearls over the idea of Hasan’s execution.
They should try to explain to this man why executing Hasan is wrong.
