Thirteen people murdered and they just now decide he will face the death penalty. He should be going through the Texas capital punishment express lane, Federal jurisdiction notwithstanding.

(And I know that isn't how the law works, but imagination land makes a lot more sense.)

They're ALL "crazypants", McVeigh and this guy...and the Islamics who do these things, whether they act individually or as a group. But crazy doesn't mean they're not simply following what their religion tells them. Come on, people. The only non-radical Muslims are the ones who don't take the "Holy Koran" seriously. And I imagine there's a lot that don't take it seriously...like the majority of the Islamics who are Muslim simply because their neighbors are the ones who believe in "convert or die".

From an article on the Fox News web site today:

The 21-year-old Fort Worth native quickly grabbed the civilian worker who'd been helping with his paperwork and forced her under the desk. He lay low for several minutes, waiting for the shooter to run out of ammunition and wishing he, too, had a gun.

It's just plain criminal for a United States soldier to be lying under a desk in a combat situation without a gun. I don't care if he's in Iraq, Afghanistan, Texas, or on Mars. He and all his fellow troops should have been allowed to tote. We trust them with guns everywhere in the world except their own home...where those who obey orders and live within the confines of the law are at the mercy of those who do not.

Shameful.

I don't think so. After all, until recently most soft body armor wouldn't stop a .22LR shot out of a Ruger target pistol. Larger diameter bullets, stopped no prob, but the .22LR just parted the Kevlar weave like an ice pick.

Yesterday evening I was as angry as I've ever been since 9/11. (WARNING: MILD PROFANITY IN THE LINKED ARTICLE) I wrote an article titled "Typical Muslim Malik Nadal Hasan Murders Soldiers at Fort Hood" on my blog. I'd welcome comments and opinions from my fellow CHL holders.

I'm amazed at all the people who express shock and surprise that so many were killed and wounded before Hasan was taken down. U.S. domestic military bases are under the ultimate form of federal gun control and outside of firearms training areas nobody is legal to carry a firearm other than law enforcement. See how well it works...

But the bigger issue right here and now is how we allow our enemies to infiltrate and destroy under our self-imposed "tolerance" and political correctness so they can take advantage of unarmed citizens.

God bless our military and law enforcement folks who are in the day-to-day fight.

May justice be served to this murderer and those who should have seen it coming and did nothing about it; as well as those idiot authoritarians past and present who have worked to ensure our troops are defenseless on their own home bases.
