Fort Hood Redux

Is Ben getting a stiffy out this one like he did the last?

Looks like.

I would love to see you write to the families who lost some of their members and explain to them how Texas had it coming.

Now why the hell would I do that?

Because I was trying to counter the hate screed against Moslems you mailed them? Dream on.

I figured if you're brave enough to post that **** here, you'd be brave enough to fling **** at the families. No?

counter the hate screed against Moslems

Which is why you posted that **** before I even posted anything?

Glad to see we've outed the true bigot here.

And nothing will ever change because the gun nuts are more interested in enabling the violent gun nuts than they are in making sure only responsible people can get their hands on guns.

Brilliant insight, Oerdin. Perhaps we should ban all guns from the military.

Is Ben getting a stiffy

Buster's the one who gets a stiffy when people die so long as they are white, male and Texans.

Ben - why so angry? Yeah, I busted on Texas. Taking a whiz on a state full of Republicans for being crazed reactionaries -and I live here until Friday and know these people brag about being crazed, so don't even front- is not exactly the same thing as hate speech against a despised minority.

But okay, I guess you enjoy being an angry pariah. Try not to get blisters.

Ben - why so angry?

13 American citizens who put their lives on the line for the entire nation get massacred while unarmed by an Islamic terrorist inside Ft Hood on American soil, and you're blaming Texas for it? Yeah, gee, I can't see why folks might be angry about it. Why do you think Hasan targeted unarmed folks? Because he's a worthless coward.

Wow, Texas is disposing of trash. Good to see. Best news I've heard all day.

and know these people brag about being crazed, so don't even front- is not exactly the same thing as hate speech against a despised minority.

Sayonara, scumbag!

[Buster Crabbe's Uncle]

You're making **** up I didn't say, didn't mean and never thought. Ben, that's just sad.

Today's shooting

http://nypost.com/2014/04/02/fort-ho...lter-in-place/

FORT HOOD, Texas — A soldier opened fire Wednesday on fellow service members at the Fort Hood military base, killing three people and wounding 16 before committing suicide at the same post where more than a dozen people were slain in a 2009 attack, authorities said.

The shooter, who served in Iraq in 2011, had been undergoing an assessment to determine whether he had post-traumatic stress disorder, according to Lt. Gen. Mark A. Milley, the senior officer on the base.

There was no indication the attack was related to terrorism, Milley said.

A Texas congressman said the shooting happened at a medical center. Rep. Michael McCaul, chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, also identified the suspect as Ivan Lopez. But additional details about the gunman were not immediately available.

The injured were taken to Darnall Army Community Hospital at Fort Hood and other local hospitals. Dr. Glen Couchman, chief medical officer at Scott and White Hospital in Temple, said the first four people admitted there had gunshots to chest, abdomen, neck and extremities and that their conditions range from stable to “quite critical.”

The 2009 assault on Fort Hood was the deadliest attack on a domestic military installation in U.S. history. Thirteen people were killed and more than 30 wounded.

After the shooting began, the Army’s official Twitter feed said the post had been locked down. Hours later, all-clear sirens sounded....

Soldier was in uniform, not wearing a burqa... sorry Ben. Other reports have 4 dead.

So, lets try this again... why Ft. Hood?

It's the largest military base in America.

[Patroklos]

Only in area.

It stated that he had 4 months in Iraq in 2011. That's pretty short for a tour and may point to a serious injury though I haven't heard one reported. PTSD is already being blamed but this guy was also enrolled for years in recovery programs including all the extra ones introduced in the last few years. We will have to see how this shakes out.

They should bring out Ol' Sparky again, and feed him to feral hogs.

Yep, reports I'm seeing suggest mental health treatment.

Just because this one wasn't Islam, doesn't erase the fact that Hasan was a terrorist.

Possible he suffered his issues prior to entering the military.
