Shootings On The U.S. Army Post At Ft. Hood In Texas

[no1home]

KILLEEN, Texas - Leaders of the vibrant Muslim community here expressed outrage on Friday at the shooting rampage being laid to one of their members, Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, who had become a regular attendee of prayers at the local mosque. But some of the men who had befriended Major Hasan at the mosque said the military should examine the policies that might have caused him to snap.

“When a white guy shoots up a post office, they call that going postal,” said Victor Benjamin II, 30, a former member of the Army. “But when a Muslim does it, they call it jihad.

A lot of anger, but I hope they deal with it better than seeking revenge on innocent people. I can't forget what a retired General said. This man was red flagged by the FBI. His military record was not good and yet they were willing to ship him overseas no questions asked. Now the tough questions will be asked and hopefully answered but unfortunately it comes too late for the victims.

I take it most of you have seen the anti-like outlook of non-muslim people to some American Armed forces that have gone through some rough stuff prior to stepping out after their time, but look at the outlook of the Muslims screaming their heads off the they do NOT want to kill people but they want to TERRORIZE them & so make them become Muslims. Yes they keep on saying TERRORIZE.

Also a lot of large posters in California advertisng the good point or others becoming Muslims. Strange to say the least

That has to be a strange outlook on life for these Muslim yellers about terror to other Americans & so many are looking at their personal god rather then looking at the USA as their home for some yrs to life of some yrs ago.

Only the first ammendment of the American Constitution is what is saving such people from NOT being tossed into jail with charges.

FORT HOOD, Texas - The Army psychiatrist charged with killing 13 people in a shooting spree at Fort Hood made or accepted wire transfers with Pakistan, a country wracked by Muslim extremist violence, a Republican congressman said Friday.

Texas Rep. Michael McCaul, the ranking GOP member of the House Homeland Security Intelligence Subcommittee, said people outside the intelligence community with direct knowledge of the transfers also told him Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan also had communications with Pakistan. “He may have friends or relatives or whatever and this could be totally (innocent),” McCaul said in a telephone interview. “But if he is wiring money to Pakistan, that could be terrorist financing. If he was receiving money from Pakistan, that is more significant.”

Recovering in the intensive care unit at San Antonio’s Brooke Army Medical Center, Hasan has told his attorney he has no feeling in his legs and extreme pain in his hands.

Galligan said doctors have told Hasan he may be permanently paralyzed from the waist down. He called his client’s medical condition “extremely serious” and said Hasan didn’t flinch when Galligan touched his leg during a meeting Thursday, when one of Hasan’s relatives was able to see him for the first time since he was hospitalized.

Whether temporary or permanent, it would be hard to muster any sympathy for him. He killed 13 and wouned others. If his lawyer is planning to use the sympathy card as a defence it could and should fail miserably.

We have learned more during said time. Some of it is quite strange even to Muslims, for instance in the camera at a gun shop he was NOT wearing the gear of a Muslim nor a soldier no just normal clothing of a civilian.

Also he was seemingly in dire need of a wife for he had contacted several of the 'net programs where males & females try to make contact, but he was asking of a Muslim woman that would wear the traditonal gear & would pray seven times a day. Which is a little to much for a normal American woman. He had even attended a drinking place to sit quitely watching the women in whatever they did on the stage or whatever. No trouble inside, but then not anyone contacted him.

His friendship, where he was stationed in Texas, was basically nil. Also at another mosk he contact one of the elders of the Muslim group to surprise him in just 10 seconds of conversation he was asking said leader to please find him a wife. The poor chap was loosing his mind.

We also know that of the many red flags that others ignored when talking to some wounded soldiers in the hospital he was trying to talk them into the Muslim faith & some complained when a senior officer was like that to a Private or NCO that was injured ONLY the proper people did noting bar promoting him to Major. Anyone that has been in the Armed forces knows it is hard to get any form of even a simple promotion like to Corpral, Sargent & such let alone as high as he was because of his training he had received at the cost of the Army.

It is a strange world out there with variations of faith in North America & when you visit Afghanistan there are various religions, to different outlooks on life due to the various tribes to their War Lords. No wonder the NATO troops cannot straighten up said war in Afghanistan.

Shooter has different stories emerging about self: praying man, man going to adult clubs, man with relationship issues-perceived jilt in relationship real or assumed. Conspiracy theorists remarked on several similarities with this man and Timothy McViegh and other shooter-signs of mind control. Not to focus on religion background of this man but bigger picture-he was not alright.

Up to eight US army officers face disciplinary action over the behaviour of a major accused of a shooting spree, officials quoted by US media say. Thirteen people died when psychiatrist Major Nidal Hasan opened fire at the Fort Hood base in Texas last November. According to an inquiry, Maj Hasan's previous behaviour should have sounded alarm bells, the unnamed officials say.

So many red flags were ignored. Passing the buck cost 13 their lives and devastated families. We will never know what could have happened if someone had taken notice and actually done something with this man. By all reports the warning signs were loud and clear, and now the tough questions need to be answered.

[Smitty]

Having just been promated to Major has always had me in question. Knowing others in the Cdn armed forces & believe me to earn three hooks to be a sargent is darn hard, but to become an officer is so much more. Still to major is questionable considereing all the red flags this man had been causing OR possibly his is something if you are in the Medical Field, but then I do not consider him as being in the medical field like a doctor or commanding officer is & YES as a Major those under him had to respect what he said-----which was so often about them becoming Muslims after or during recovery from injuries over in Iraq to Afghanistan.

Army will seek death in Ft. Hood case
Last Updated: April 28, 2010 6:24pm
FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — Military prosecutors sent a notice Wednesday indicating they plan to seek the death penalty against the Army psychiatrist charged in the deadly shooting rampage at Fort Hood, a defense attorney said.

Maj. Nadal Hasan is charged with 13 counts of premeditated murder and 32 counts of attempted premeditated murder in the Nov. 5 shooting. Premeditated murder carries the death penalty. But if military jurors convict Hasan, they can only sentence him to death if they determine there is an aggravating factor in the case, according to military law.

Defense attorney John Galligan said the notice he received from prosecutors outlines as an aggravating factor that more than one person was killed in the same incident. http://www.torontosun.com/news/world/2010/04/28/13752941-ap.html

The accused Fort Hood gunman, an army psychiatrist, is still getting paychecks from the U.S. military -- but soon may not have a bank to cash them.

Bank of America has given Maj. Nidal Malk Hasan 30 days to find another bank to cash his checks. Hasan’s attorney, John Galligan, told KVTX.com that the bank didn’t give for terminating his account, but instead said it was doing so “at their own discretion.”

I'm all for innocent until proven guilty but realistically he is not getting out of jail anytime soon, if ever. Can't the miltary hold it in trust until his
trial is over and then decide what to do with it if he is found guilty?

What's going on with the bank? The suspect hasn't been away 1 year in bank activity on his account:

Question: How does an account become classified as "Inactive"?
Answer: In order to keep an account in "active" status (Section 73.003(b) of the Texas Property Code), an account holder needs to make a deposit or withdrawal at least once per year. The automatic crediting of interest to the account by the bank does not count to keep the account active. The Code does not require a bank to notify the depositor when an account becomes inactive. Section 73.003(a) of the Code prohibits a bank from service charging an inactive account.

Question: Can check verification companies keep me from opening an account with a financial institution?
Answer: It is up to each individual bank and credit union to decide if they want to open an account for you. Reports submitted to these companies generally remain on their files for five years, unless the financial institution or member removes it or the company is obligated to remove it under applicable law. The decision to delete a report is up to each member or subscriber and their individual policies. A member is under no obligation to remove accurate report of account mishandling due to payment. If an amount is collected, the member is obligate to report that payment has been made.

What's does Bank of America's policy have--from the military banking link to the Privacy and Security link:

Funny how the Bank of America is hiding behind the client privacy policy, which details how many potential third parties can get information given to them from the same Bank.
