Ft Hood Tx. 7 dead 12 wounded

[Big country]

I would just like to say this before I say anything more, may God be with the families of the dead and wounded.
Now that being said, I'm glad they didn't kill the shooter. I say this because now the investigators can question Hassan and find out exactly what his motives are and if he acted alone or with the help of others. I hope there were not other soldiers involved in this, if there were the authorities need to know about it. If there are civilians that were in on this the military or the FBI needs to act fast before they disappear and go to another area. I want this guy hung from a tall tree with a short rope but there are questions that might be answered now that had he been killed the authorities might not ever even had the opportunity to be asked. As I said before God be with the families of the dead and wounded, and the other families and other soldiers effected by this ruthless attack on our nations largest military base.

The predictable results of "Gun Free" zones. It seems like the civilian PC culture leaches into the military culture more and more. Everyone in that base should be armed IMHO..

Here is some more info about the female officer who took him down and sustained injuries herself.









« "Furious Backlash" Sparked by Brad Ellsworth's Phony Abortion Compromise Amendment | The Blog home page | Time To Man Up, Mr. Obama » Officer Who Shot Hasan Identified, In Stable Condition

Her name is Kimberly Munley:

Army officials say the suspect, "the lone shooter" for this tragic incident, Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, is currently on a ventilator at a nearby civilian hospital and the police officer who gunned him down, Kimberly Munley, a civilian Fort Hood police officer, is in stable condition.

She's a civilian officer:

Munley, who had been trained in active-response tactics, rushed into the building and confronted the shooter as he was turning a corner, Cone said.
"It was an amazing and an aggressive performance by this police officer," Cone said.
Munley was only a few feet from crazed Army psychiatrist Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan when she opened fire.
Wounded in the exchange of gunfire, Munley was reported in stable condition at a local hospital...
Cone said Munley's aggressive response training taught her that "if you act aggressively to take out a shooter you will have less fatalities."
"She walked up and engaged him," he said. He praised her as "one of our most impressive young police officers."

She's apparently conscious, and spent the night calling fellow officers to let them know her condition, and checking up on the other wounded.
All of the other wounded are in stable condition, which is far better news than I expected, with so many wounded.

As others have said......my prayers go out to all family members of the dead and wounded! Now.......how in God's name can our government continue to look the other way in fear of trampling on someone's rights! The government had known for 6-months he had been posting bombing threats and other terrorist threats on the internet. Hell we track internet porn and jail scum bags daily for this shit.....how can we not throw this guy out of the military and in to jail? I am going to make a statement that some others are thinking but just haven't said. I will not reply or argue with anyone......this is my opinion and I am entitled to it. If you want to be a Muslin, Islam or any damn religion other than one founded on US soil....SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO SERVE IN OUR MILITARY! A Major in the US Army with a name and religion like his is wrong in so many ways. And yes same goes for our President!) If he wants to be something other than an American and if he wants to wear his white robe and his head cover as a Muslin.....HE SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO TAKE THAT GARB OFF AND PUT ON THE UNIFORM OF A US ARMY MAJOR! THIS IS WRONG....WRONG!

The first settlers in America came here for religious freedom. America is founded on the ideas of freedom and personal liberty. There is absolutely nothing wrong with Muslims serving in the military if they are protecting freedom.

I have to agree with Acetone here. I understand that you are not going to reply to or argue the matter, and I respect that. I also feel obligated as a free American to point out that we cannot trample peoples rights based on their religious beliefs, that is why America was founded. I do think that the military should keep a close eye on folks with a back ground like this as we do have to worry about spies and what not as we are at war with a terrorist group made up of Muslim extremists. But we cannot start trampling our constitution for this reason. That would lead to a huge lose of our rights as Americans.
