Making executions and torturings public is both disgusting and barbaric. This is how Stalin and many third-world leaders maintain power. By using fear and terror. These methods are usually used to keep people in place yes, but it also shows the government is weak and unable to keep their people in check because of other internal problems. Do we really want to be classed with those countries? Probably not.
I think I lost brain cells reading some of these posts.

Who cares if it's Barbaric? The person literally went into a school and shot up a school. It wouldn't make the government weak, Just would mean our methods are different. Hell we even torture and waterbomb and do other things to terrorist, Some of which never successfully killed someone so we get information out of them. If you shot up schools and take people's innocent lives for no real good reason. Setting an example with public torture would probably teach people that this is what they would get it they caused such a terrible crime. People wouldnt need to live in fear, Unless they plan to shoot up schools. Though it isn't legal to torture people on America's ground. It can be taken out of America to do so.
