Fort Hood shooter convicted on all charges

[mrjarrell]

It took them a while to get to this point, but I don't think the outcome was ever going to be in doubt. Especially, when he took over his own defence and just admitted to everything. Now we just have to wait and see what the sentencing is.

Fort Hood shooter convicted on all charges - Americas -

But hey, he claims to have done it to save the lives of his "Muslim brothers". Defense of others.

 

[ViperJock]

Defense of the enemy force while wearing the uniform.... hardly sounds like a good defense lol. I just hope they don't give him the death penalty. He wants to die, make him live in prison until someone beats him to death.

 

[Robert Richardson]

If he gets the death penalty, it should be by stoning.

 

[rgrimm01]

For his participation, it will be interesting to see if that court takes the pc route or gives him his just reward. He should probably consider himself lucky that this incident did not occur in Florida and include Mentos, soda and a bottle...

What is cool is that the next guy the thinks about committing work place violence will think twice.

 

[terrehautian]

How long until he says he is actually a female and wants to be a female?

Also cool because the surgery would probably be paid for by the taxpayers.

It's like a win win.

I think the people who created that gun-free-zone should think twice. There have always been nutjobs, and there will always be nutjobs. Preventing self-defense is the reason the body count got to where it did.

That's the military/government for you, military bases are "gun free zones". I was demoted once for having my personal firearms checked out for a day too long. I think base housing and the armory are the only places that personal firearms can be. The leadership is actually getting stricter these days, people used to get off with warnings if a personal gun was found in there vehicle, now they will likely get kicked out.

I was trained and trusted to use automatic weapons, call in air/artillary strikes and kill any enemy that threatened me or my people. But I am not trusted to carry a handgun to defend against "active shooters". Our training literally includes throwing trashcans and hiding under desks as methods to react to a workplace shooter. How about I just use my US Gov provided training and shoot the POS.

This case pisses me off so much because if those soldiers were allowed to defend themselves in the same way on base as they can off base then there would be a lot less good guys dead and there would be no trial.

As someone that was at that incident I can say that this is bittersweet. He will get life in prison. He will not be made the martyr he wishes to be. What should happen is that he is given life, then on the way to Levenworth the transport should make a detour and take him to his grave. Or he and Manning can get together and make scumbag babies after the sexchange. Cause that's how it works.

 

[rgrimm01]

Isn't he paralyzed from the neck down? His incarceration would come with a hefty price tag; the gift that keeps giving. I cannot imagine he would get a very positive reception at a military facility.

 

[RugerRog]

Good news now this a hole needs to spend the rest of his life behind bars and hopefully he will be shacking up with the John Holmes of the prison.

 

[Leo]

Sounds like too much expense against the taxpayers money. I have a length of 3/4" rope I would donate.

 

[gunowner930]

Life in Prison plus rations of nothing but bacon and porkchops or he starves to death

 

[RugerRog]

And make him shave his beard.

 

[actaeon277]

And make him shave his beard.

With a lawnmower

 

[SSGSAD]

If he gets the death penalty, it should be by stoning.

NEGATIVE, I want to shoot him, with a bullet dipped in pigs blood !!!!!

 

[RugerRog]

It should be slow and painful. Drawn and quartered comes to mind. Or the final scene from Brave heart disemboweling him.

Glad the story has ended
