Texas lawmakers welcomed news that the shooting spree, which left 13 people dead and more than 30 wounded, would no longer be classified as an act of “workplace violence,” given the shooter proclaimed himself a jihadi. “This has been a long, hard fight. The victims of this attack have struggled, suffered and been abandoned by this administration. No more,” said Rep. John Carter, the Round Rock Republican whose district includes Fort Hood, the nation’s largest military installation. “Today is a day of victory, and I am honored to have fought on their behalf.” The decision, Carter said, would “provide the victims their due benefits” and “finally give closure to the families.” Click for Full Text!

To: redleghunter (#0) Hasan, an Army psychiatrist, was found guilty this month on 13 counts of premeditated murder and 32 counts of attempted premeditated murder after opening fire Nov. 5, 2009, at Fort Hood’s Soldier Readiness Processing Center, where troops were getting medical checkups before deploying to Afghanistan. Hasan, who was scheduled to deploy to Afghanistan a few weeks later, shouted “Allahu ­akbar!” meaning “God is great,” before targeting soldiers with a high-powered, high-capacity handgun he had fitted with laser sights. He was apprehended by military police officers after firing more than 200 shots. www.washingtonpost.com/wo...6-e4fc677d94a1_story.html Some firearms would be more useful, but a Purple Heart is better than nothing. Maybe next time the bullets will bounce off of their Purple Hearts? Hondo68  posted on  2015-02-09   15:16:14 ET  Reply   Untrace   Trace   Private Reply   #5.

They'll get more benefits this way which had been denied to them and their families because it was declared "workplace violence". So it makes a big difference to the survivors and families, I think.

I'm sure it does,but military members that are murdered by a traitor in their own unit shouldn't be getting a Purple Heart. Next thing you know they will be handing them out to clerks and cooks that get hurt in a car accident while driving to work at the base/ sneakypete  posted on  2015-02-09   18:20:20 ET  Reply   Untrace   Trace   Private Reply   #24.

They should if they were attacked by an enemy combatant, uniformed or not. Next thing you know they will be handing them out to clerks and cooks that get hurt in a car accident while driving to work at the base/ If they are hit by a terrorist who is targeting them as military members, fine.

To: TooConservative (#24) Prosecutors did not pursue “Terrorism” or “Act of Terror” because Courts-Martial under the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) do not currently include such a charge. Nidal Hasan was not tried as an enemy combatant, but instead will be court-martialed. 1 Gatlin  posted on  2015-02-10   2:24:48 ET  Reply   Untrace   Trace   Private Reply   #26.

Nidal Hasan was not tried as an enemy combatant, but instead will be court-martialed. Don't be silly. Hasan's crimes would have been better prosecuted under federal terrorism charges. Much of this is simply the Obola crew refusing to admit they have allowed terrorist attacks to happen on their watch. If they refuse to admit it is terrorism, there is no terrorism on their watch. And the Lefty historians will happily carry water for them. Tooconservative  posted on  2015-02-10   2:33:55 ET  Reply   Untrace   Trace   Private Reply   #46. To: TooConservative (#26) (Edited) [TooConservative #26] Hasan's crimes would have been better prosecuted under federal terrorism charges. I would disagree. There is no need to bring in the need to prove terrorism when murder can provide a death penalty. If I were Hasan, I would rather face a federal civilian jury than a military court-martial panel. All members of the panel will be senior to the accused. The court-martial can return a verdict of guilty with a two-thirds majority. Unanimity is only needed only to mandate the death penalty. There are no hung juries in military practice. If the military does not get the job done, Hasan could be tried by the state. Trial for the same act once as a violation of federal law and once as a violation of state law does not violate double jeopardy. Legally, the federal and state governments are considered separate sovereigns. EDIT: Hasan was convicted of 13 counts of premeditated murder, 32 counts of attempted murder. He was sentenced to death (August, 2013). The death penalty automatically starts the appeals process. That's where the case is at. nolu chan  posted on  2015-02-10   16:42:06 ET  Reply   Untrace   Trace   Private Reply   Replies to Comment # 46.         There are no replies to Comment # 46.
