Topic: Ft. Hood Shooter NOT Dead.. | |
---|---|
Just heard a live briefing from Ft. Hood. The Commanding General stated that the shooter, Maj Hasan, previously reported to have been shot and killed onn the scene, is not dead but alive and recieving treatment at local area hospital.
Only audio, no press references at this time but I'm sure it'll hit the press media soon. ~Raiderfan |

Im going to bet he wishes he was dead.

present condition not revealed, but indications are Hasan is stable, death not imminent, not talking to investigators at the moment.
weapons used were not military issue.. Friday (tomorrow) to be a day of mourning at Ft. Hood. |

Im going to bet he wishes he was dead. my sentiments exactly he's lucky the very people he tried to kill might be saving his life. He's a disgrace. Thank you raiderfan for keeping us up to date on this!! |

I find it hilarious that every single person here has jumped on the bandwagon in saying that this was a crime of religion or nationality. So far there has been nothing to even suggest this except the name of the shooter being Islamic, and a couple of "press releases" from former coworkers in the military, which is nothing but hearsay.
So far there is no evidence of anything other than a tragic shooting, on a military base. Yes history has shown us that SOMETIMES this can be due to a persons background or religion. However history has also shown us that this is even more likely to be a case of the guy needing mental help and not getting it because the military was too stingy to provide proper comp time, and treatment for those who have been under stressful situations. Now, I am not saying he is an innocent person who was left to explode by the system, but I am not saying he was a religious jihaid (sp?) operative either. Until the fact s are known, nobody knows what the truth is. |

Until the fact s are known, nobody knows what the truth is. There have been several reports of his postings to the internet re: his attitude towards islam, suicide bombers, and jihad.. That's not to say that any of that played into his motivation but this soldier, reportedly, has a history of mixing politics with his military duty.. condemning US FoPo, admiring suicide bombers, equating the same to a soldier in the field jumping on a grenade.. http://www.breitbart.tv/co-worker-ft-hood-gunman-made-outlandish-comments-condemning-us-foreign-policy/ It'll be interesting to see how this plays out and what details are released.. I admire your willingness to stand up for a fellow soldier and reminding us to leave our jump-to-conclusion mats in the closet.. btw, thank you for your service to our nation |

"Needing mental help"
He is a psychiatrist. He was stationed at Walter Reed. Never been in combat. Your theory doesn't add up. |

"Needing mental help" He is a psychiatrist. He was stationed at Walter Reed. Never been in combat. Your theory doesn't add up. you really think because he was stationed at walter reed for a few years that this means he has never been deployed? Althogh not impossible, it is highly unlikely that he has been in the army long enough to attain the rank of Major and NOT deployed somewhere. And even if he hadn't, the fact that he was at walter reed for several years gives me enough reason to wonder whether or not he suffered from ptsd after dealing with all the wounded coming back from over seas. I have been stationed at a military combat support hospital, and deployed with them, so I can tell you from first hand experience that it is traumatizing, severely so to wotk with all those people who have been out in conflict, or danger, and now are being sent home with less than they went out with. I have seen MANY doctors, have nervous breakdowns just from dealing with the every day stress of working with the wounded. Now let me ask you one question: I am asusimng it was released that he had served at walter reed, and I know several "reliable sources" have dictated that he has never deployed, but that is all hearsay at this time. So how can you say without a doubt that he has never deployed? Or, assuming that he hasnt, that e has not faced so much stress that he had a major breakdown? You can't. Neither can I, which is why I am nt saying he DID havea breakdown. What I am saying however, is the "information" that is being released so far does not add up to make anything of sense. A majority of it contradicts itself. |

This is very sad, I just got home from work and saw it on my home page when I got on the computer. Very sad indeed. He is an American, born here, raised here..also a muslim and about to be deployed to Iraq....as of now there is nothing about him being a terrorist, only that he opposed the war. Many soldiers oppose the war...let us not jump to conclusions.
May the angels hold and help in the healing of all those affected by this terrible tragedy... |

he was a Palestinian descent and the Army guys kept mocking him as "Camel Jockey", just like a bunch of tunnel vision mingle members here would love to.
http://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/nadal-malik-hasan-wanted-army-family/story?id=9008184 Go ahead and keep mocking him. When you are quarantined one day into a place like Gaza I'll see how you gonna take the pressure. |

When you are quarantined one day into a place like Gaza I'll see how you gonna take the pressure. Jordanian descent, born in Virginia. Regarding being a psychiatrist, he gets to hear it all from everyone. Don't folks realize that most therapists have therapists to vent on for themselves? You are affected by what you hear, otherwise you wouldn't have bitter men and women who use their friends stories to complain how bad the members of the opposite sex are. From the news on CNN, it sounds like he's been trying to get out of the military totally, even hired a lawyer, for a while. |
