HASAN WILL DIE. Or will he?

So, Hasan was sentenced to death yesterday.

 1.  He's been stripped of pay.  Should he give back the $300K he's earned since the killings?
2.  Do you think he'll ever die other than by natural causes?
3.  If so, how long will it take for him to be in the gas chamber?
4.  Will there be appeals?
5.  Will his being Muslim enter into this?
6.  Were you surprised he got the big verdict?

And, regarding those murdered in cold blood....should they get the Purple Heart?

WAS it a workplace killing or a terrorist attack?

Let's talk.

I think that I heard on the morning news that appeals will go on for years!

1. He's been stripped of pay. Should he give back the $300K he's earned since the killings? Yes.

2. Do you think he'll ever die other than by natural causes? Maybe, maybe not.

3. If so, how long will it take for him to be in the gas chamber? At least 5 years.

4. Will there be appeals? Over and over again.

5. Will his being Muslim enter into this? Yes.

6. Were you surprised he got the big verdict? No.

And, regarding those murdered in cold blood....should they get the Medal of Honor? Yes.

WAS it a workplace killing or a terrorist attack? It was a jihadist attack.

Z - If he was alone in the attack it was mostly a workplace killing.
Can one person acting alone be considered a terrorist attack?

I've read that there will be appeals.

As slow as the justice system goes he may die before he is executed.

1. No, under the law he is entitled to the money he’s already been paid. I personally don’t think he’s earned any of that money, but you know what I mean.
2. I think Hassan will be executed.
3. I believe the military uses lethal injection, rather than gas chamber.
4. There is a process in military law that calls for automatic appeal. The court-martial convening authority is the officer commanding who ordered the court-martial. He or she will review the case and has the power of approving the sentence as adjudged, or modifying the punishments, or dismissing the case altogether. I have never seen that happen. The next stage of review is the supervisory authority. This would be the general officer commanding. His staff judge advocate will review and prepare the record of court-martial proceedings and send them to (in this case) the U. S. Army Court of Criminal Appeals. This review will consider the case for legal error, factual sufficiency, and appropriateness of the sentence. If the death sentence is confirmed, the Judge Advocate General will forward the case to the Court of Criminal Appeals for the Armed Forces (CAAF); they review all death sentence cases. The case could find its way to the Supreme Court, but only under limited circumstances—which are that the CAAF has conducted a mandatory review of the sentence, granted discretionary review of a petition, or has otherwise granted relief, then the Supreme Court may review the case on writ of certiorari, or through collateral review.
5. His religious affiliation will not be considered.
6. No

The individuals who Hassan murdered and injured are, in my opinion, entitled to a Purple Heart Medal. This was an act of terrorism, and Major Hassan was acting as an enemy combatant. I have no idea whether the Army will do the right thing on their behalf, however. Political correctness, you know … and generals who are more politician than they are warriors.

We will probabli learn that hasan has cancer and we will spend a fortune trying to keep him alive long for him to be executed. Ten years, minimum.

Sam Huntington said...

No one at the Fort Hood event deserves the Medal of Honor. I think they should be entitled to the Purple Heart Medal. All things being equal, these people were attacked by an enemy combatant and deserve the recognition of that event.

I remember a few years back, the Army awarded the Bronze Star Medal to a cute little Blondie from West Virginia who did no more than get lost on a military convoy and wind up captured by Iraqi forces. The not-so-cute little black girl riding next to her, who ended up shooting herself in the foot with am M-16 Rifle, was awarded a Purple Heart Medal.

Will the Army do the right thing on behalf of the injured and killed? I doubt it.

I like the sentence, unfortunately the scumbag will most likely remain sitting on death row for a long time. before the sentence is carried out, and we will be paying for him until then.
I think that he should go in front of a firing squad now, or next week the latest and get rid of that PIG.

"And, regarding those murdered in cold blood....should they get the Medal of Honor?"

How would the victims of the Hasan shooting remotely rise to the threshold of the CMH?

Thersites said...

Purple Heart... all medals are for "honour".

Z said...

AOW...I agree with you on this.
Sad about Appeals..particularly because he was his own lawyer; this is why I thought there wouldn't be appeals. I'm thinking it'll be leftwing American lawyers fighting to keep him alive, not him.

Sue...when it's an enemy jihadist killing American soldiers, I think it's a terrorist attack.

Mustang; re salary, then the laws must be changed.
I had no idea what they kill by; just figured I'd choose gas chamber to make the point:-)
I figured it had to do with auto appeal because I'm pretty sure he doesn't want one.

Jim...or decided he wants to be called Maryann and we'll be paying for THAT :-)


EVERYBODY: Sorry...I'll go change my post now: I honestly don't know the difference between a Purple Heart and Medal of Honor...except I'm getting it now that I read your comments!
Will change it now!

Sorry Geeez that I blew my “Cool” on my last post, but I wasn’t aware that the previous thread was about Jew bashing as Free Thinke so thoughtlessly had.
Ir seems that it is open season on Anti-Semitism: Human Rights, Israel Bashing, and Jew Bashing since we have a Israel Hating president. The New Anti-Semitism, The Jew Bashers, etc. are running a muck, and I find it to be disturbing, ... and I am utterly sick of hearing it and reading it.
Again I apologize.

Constitutional Insurgent said...

"WAS it a workplace killing or a terrorist attack?"

It was, but it was also a crime. Terrorism by statute, is a crime. Terrorism is also a loaded term of political convenience.

"Purple Heart and Medal of Honor.."

One is for gallantry, bravery and heroics above and beyond the call of duty. Exemplary acxtion and behavior in the face of overwhelming odds in combat usually.

A Purple heart was instituted by George Washington for wounds incurred in battle, combat or action.

Simply stated.

I don't know why we're even having a trial for this islamic thug. His death will not come too soon for me.

FROM Z of GEEEZ (at work):

Jack, we do not have "Jew bashing" at this blog. One particular commenter sometimes 'goes there' and is always asked not to.
And, by the way, there SHOULD be "open season" on ANTI SEMITES.

Cube: My thought was "he killed these people with at least 20 witnesses, admits he did this, and we STILL have to have a trial?
THat's a JOKE; We should be a laughing stock.
And, yes, everyone, this IS America and our laws SAY we need to spend MILLIONS in trials even when it's SO OBVIOUS.
I believe our enemies are counting on that.

Imp: thanks for the input.
And I can't watch the video now, but most of those ceremonies are wonderful. I just can't get my heart going for any which Obama gives, however, because I keep thinking that, deep down, this guy whose background has never had ANYTHING that shows he was raised to love this country, is thinking "this sap...he'd DIE for America? Is he NUTS?" "and here you go, congratulations, Marine"..(but whispering..."you dope..Michelle, isn't he a dope!? HAAAAAAAA!!")

I so wish I felt different than this about a sitting American president.
How I WISH we had a young Black President who did use common sense (like 'you can't keep spending and not run out of money'), who didn't mock the constitution in so many ways, who cared for Blacks AND WHITE Americans.
darn

@Z:

" just can't get my heart going for any which Obama gives.."

Not to worry Z..chickenshit in chief is not in this video at all. This is for Marines only....and it's all Marines.

Watch the first couple minutes for the formation of the honor guard...than advance to 50 minutes or so... that's where it's somber and teriffic.

@he Most Interesting Man in the World:

Don't worry friend...the butler has only taken in less then 56 mil so far. With a budget of 30+ Mil.

That's chicken feed compared to some flicks that gross hundreds of millions...so that tells me people are fed up and aren't bothering with this POS, whiny crap rant of a movie. And Oprah...go to hell...please.

At least you're preaching to the right choir here.

Most Interesting Man (man, it pained me to write that...you're not too shy, are you! :-)
My mother say THE BUTLER on Sunday and it bothered her so much she'd have left had she not gone with a friend. Her liberal friend didn't like it, either.
As Mom said on the phone to me "you know, we all know how bad the Klan was and how awful racism was for that period of American history, but why do people want to keep perpetuating it? It was such an angry, ugly movie.."

Ducky.."due process is not a joke" But it's a REAL laugh to hear you say anything like that.
We're having everything under the sun thrown at us by the guy you voted for, constitutional or not, and you have the nerve to say that as if I don't believe in Due Process?
Anybody who disagrees with me that common sense SHOULD dictate that nobody who murders with more than 2 witnesses watching isn't awake.
Wake up. But, no, that's not a law I'd particularly like changed.
You NEVER 'get' nuance..why not?

And, as someone who spends more time here than I DO, Ducky, you have also a lot of nerve suggesting all of us agree that Islam should be a crime, as FT said. Do you EVER read my posts all the way through before you comment? Then you'd know I do not feel that way and many of us do not.

FREE THINKE's RIGHT! We used to SHOOT A PERSON who was on a killing spree. But nooooooooooooooo...we have to spend millions on trials, keeping him alive, feeding him and maybe even paying for a sex change operation? what a world.



Kid said...

he was praising allah the entire time he was shooting. It was a terrorist attack.

maybe someone will strip him of his manhood and make him choke on pork products in prison.

God Willing..

I can tell Freethinker just loves being scolded, annoyed, and insulted by trolls who aren't fit to shine his shoes. Keep it up. It just eggs him on, and inflates his ego. You obviously have no idea what how much power you give to someone when you take the trouble to tell them how much you hate them.
