WTF. Sad day.

Definitely :(

Wow.... scary stuff, surprised he wasn't taken down faster..

thats some sad messed up crap!!

12 dead, the gunman is still alive.

good. a bullet would have been too fast...

god bless all the soldiers and their families

:cry:

WTF? .......very very sad & upsetting. aaaannnnndddd..... his name was Nidal Malik Hasan. huhhh? wonder what nationality/country that is.

not for nothing but this country needs to do so "house cleaning"

lets not jump to conclusions yet. while I have my suspicions, I have heard reports that he is an American who could have possibly converted to Islam and changed his name then. he served 8 years enlisted in the Army and went through the ROTC program at Virginia Tech in 1997. pretty normal on paper. Hold your final judgments until we have all the facts.

converts are worse than the ones that have been Islamic sense birth. they have the ideas all wrong

ill be the devils advocate on this one. We have no reason why it was done. It couldve been totally explainable and justifiable. Just because he screams ALLAHU AKBAR doesnt automatically make him a horrible person. He was a military psych doctor.



I feel like some of these soldiers probably did something to set off this other one...such as hazing, intimidation and plain out bullying over him being islamic.
if this is a case of such then good for him.

They say he got a bad review and was going to be sent to Iraq so it seems like he snapped!

some people arent suited for combat. imagine what wouldve happened if he went there! holy cow he wouldve took out everyone...them and us

Killing people makes you a better person?.

****ing *******.

Good for him that he went on a killing spree? So by your theory the kids in Columbine were justified right? That's a pretty bold statement man.

Anyway, what a **** situation. You sign up to protect this country knowing you might face death overseas in a time of war, the last thing you'd expect is to have to watch your back here on your own soil, from a brother in arms....scary stuff.

Yeah, don't forget that guy was a very famous admiral.

Anyway you try and dissect it, it's still a raw deal and a tragedy.

I would guess that it's more of a "hey, I went off the handle after listening to too many mental patients" vs. "I have an Islamic sounding name". But I've been wrong before.

allahu akbar = God is the Greatest.



as for the good for the comment...you need to read the beforehand to that as well....''if this is the case.'' If he was hazed or intimidated to the point to where he would go on a killing spree then obviously people turned a blind eye towards it. you cant ignore a bad situation and not expect it to explode.

I read you entire post, killing someone because you were hazed still isn't justifiable. If that was the case there would be shootings in every college across the country.

But it's all speculation so there's no real point in even discussing it, it was just a ****ed up comment, lol.

Yea man.... there are not to many things that could come close to justifying a random killing spree... :|

he was a major, you don't haze majors.
they have reported that he had been spending a lot of time on Islamic message boards and websites and that he was even commending the suicide bombers by saying that they were just like "soldiers who dove on grenades to save their fellow soldiers.

it also says he has been Muslim his entire life, or at least since before he enlisted, as it was his stated religion when he joined.

he is of jordan decent and not even islam the news blows everything out of proportion, my brother was in the second building FYI
Just because he has a eastern name doesn't make him a terrorist

so he isn't Muslim? because they interviewed the head of his mosque...who said he listed his nationality as Palestinian

so that makes what he did ok?

so you & Tsar must be related , cause you & him have real bad taste in comments.

think before you speak. I am an ex-marine and seen some f'd up men, but this is not o.k. in any shape, matter or form !!!:-x

keep watching the TV cause every one knows that everything on the TV is right

lol he is Muslim man, whether it had anything to do with it or not can be debated, but he is Muslim
