The troll is strong in you.
Look at this idiot following me around. Even to a stupid moron, it was clearly sarcasm. But I guess a stupid moron > you.

. . . because it's easier to make a sweeping generalization than it is to pause and examine people as individuals, and build a sensible case pathology in the face of these tragic events?

BTW, This thing is a freakin' can of worms and needs to be moved to where more level heads can discuss the heady issues involved.

frei you still at Hood?

Were you anywhere near the ruckus?

Are you saying the shooter is alive?
I was about a quarter mile +/- away. heard the shots but I thought it was a funeral detail practice (they do a 21 gun salute with blanks) until everybody started running indoors saying that there was a mad gun man shooting soldiers. I had to stay indoors, for about 8 hours until the all clear was given.


last I heard he was, if he is and he's found guilty I really hope he gets the firing squad so he can feel the pain like the people he killed and wounded did!

Here, lets study the “heady” issue for you.

Sgt Hasan Akbar-convicted of throwing a grenade into a tent filled with fellow soldiers in the 101st Airborne Division, killing two officers and wounding 14 more servicemen.

Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan-Army officer identified by authorities as the man who killed 12 and wounded 31 in a shooting spree at Fort Hood





Can open, worms everywhere
