Let's get one thing straight. This was an American Soldier. He was Muslim, but he was born right here in the United States. This guy snapped. I don't know if this had been building for a long time, or what his motives were. But due to his actions 13 people now have died. There are 30 people injured.
As far as those that think he should be among the dead. I think that will happen in short order after his conviction when he gets to a military prison. I doubt he will last a week.

Why would a psychiatrist go ballistic like this? Psychiatry is supposed to keep people sane, and rational. Being stuck in the military and having no way out though I could see. Also being deployed in a situation where you are going to be forced to do things you consider immoral, like killing innocent people, which is more and more what our troops are complaining about, and having no way out could drive a person over the edge.

He was born in the US. He was raised here. He was of Arabic decent but he was born in Virginia. Yes he was a Muslim, but he was still an American.

It is starting to look as if he was quite the radical Muslim. But who knows if this is a fact or planted evidence to further an agenda. His family and friends all said he was a friendly guy. So the radical Islam angle is looking suspicious.

Well! my condolences to all families who were affected by this awful tragedy!
But I find it very strange that they put a muslim guy who is a psychiatrist to handle soldiers with PTSD from their experiences in MUSLIM COUNTRIES!
Look I'm not defending this guy's insane actions - I just try to understand what a heck could have happened in his head prior, to do this awful killings.

I certainly hope this is sarcasm, this is once again turning the screws on gun control and banning guns. These types of events are sad for the innocent people but it is clearly government sponsored terrorism.
I look at all the school shootings and mall shootings and the like and if every citizen were armed this wouldn't be happening I can guaranty you that. I realize this is a military base and that may be the jist of the arfuement here, "there were dozens of armed people around and they were all shot first". I can see it now. What a sad day, when will the Elite give it up, we will NEVER surrender our guns period.

The gunman behind the carnage at a Texas military base hollered "Allahu Akbar!" before unleashing a bloody rampage that left more than a dozen dead, an onlooker told investigators.
"We do have a witness who reported that," Col. John Rossi said Friday morning from Fort Hood.
...
Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-Tex.) said Hasan - who had worked with the wounded for years at Walter Reed Army Medical Center - was angry about being sent to war and tried to get his orders changed.
The people in the building Hasan shot up were mostly soldiers preparing for their deployment.

This is something people really tend to overlook. Everyone in the country should inform himself on MKUltra and what they did at Jonestown, Pt Arthur and elsewhere. America is under attack and has been since WWII

For a second there, I thought I had stumbled into another birth certificate thread! Anyway... I don't know if this has been reported in this thread:

This motive would make sense... He didn't want to fight against other Muslims and didn't want those who were being deployed to have a chance to, either.
Terrible...

They are not like us. They are not plural (believing that all religions are good and equal and nice nice). They are obligated to kill non-muslims. It's their duty. Why is this so hard to understand?

He didn't want to fight against muslims because that's illegal in Islam. He followed Islamic rules before US law. This is common with muslims.

Don't mistake my post for one of those who are here to bash Islam. I'm not into that. In fact, the bigotry I see here makes me sick. I was just reporting something that I wasn't sure had been mentioned in this thread.

Not that anyone will investigate ,but it is possible that something happened to him in the last few weeks involving work. He shot up a particular place because he had a grugde against the area.
My suspicion is that the Arabs do not care what happens in America as long America keeps its chaos out of Arabia. This will just be a morality tale Arabs tell their children to keep them from immigrating to America.
