People demanding privacy and restraint for a man who opened fire on his own soldiers in the name of jihad have suddenly discovered principles they never applied when a political opponent was gunned down in front of a crowd. The same voices that treated one killing as a regrettable but understandable reaction now treat the lawful end of a court-martialed murderer as some unique cruelty. Charlie Kirk stood in the open, answering questions, and was shot in the neck while cameras rolled. No one rushed to shield the public from the footage or lecture the country about dignity. The difference in reaction tracks who was targeted, not any consistent rule about what the public should be allowed to see. A firing squad at the scene of the crime is not spectacle for its own sake. It is the state finally carrying out a sentence that sat unfinished for more than a decade, and it is hard to pretend the outrage is about process rather than the identity of the condemned.
