Public Executions on the Horizon? - Minstrel - 02-04-2026 Government is embedding "News crews" into some operations, for exceptionally volatile/incendiary 'executions'. Wonder what kind of 'hazard duty' incentives must be offered, to get quality cameramen and the lot to go into some of these situations? It looks, to me, like...if it works...this could be the new rage for online viewing. Like the multiple CSI series...and, surely, "The Running Man". (Also looks like "The Maine Wire" is trying to boost visibility...) Any memorable lines from "The Running Man"?    "Killian, Here is Subzero - Now, Plain Zero!" https://www.themainewire.com/2026/02/u-s-marshals-capture-homicide-suspect-accomplice-and-three-juvenile-offender-in-single-high-risk-lewiston-operation/ RE: Public Executions on the Horizon? - EndtheMadnessNow - 02-05-2026 Killian: You look pissed, Ben. Believe me, you got every right to be. But hey, will you just let me explain. This is television, that's all it is. It's nothing to do with people, it's to do with the ratings. For fifty years, we've told them what to eat, what to drink, what to wear... for Christ's sake, Ben, don't you understand? Americans love television. They wean their kids on it. Listen. They love game shows, they love wrestling, they love sports and violence. So what do we do? We give 'em *what they want*! We're number one, Ben, that's all that counts, believe me. I've been in the business thirty years. Ben Richards: Well, I haven't been in show business as long as you have, Killian. But I'm a quick learner. So I'm going to give the audience what *I* think they want. RE: Public Executions on the Horizon? - F2d5thCav - 02-05-2026 Next step up is setting up a bidding system so members of the public can "pull the trigger" and watch the ordnance meet the target. That will complete the detachment of chivalry from warfare AND remove the distinction between soldier and civilian.
