Targets of Opportunityblog advertising is good for you Credo"Sign on, young man, and sail with me. The stature of our homeland is no more than the measure of ourselves. Our job is to keep her free. Our will is to keep the torch of freedom burning for all. To this solemn purpose we call on the young, the brave, the strong, and the free. Heed my call, Come to the sea. Come Sail with me." -- John Paul Jones "Pardon him, Theodotus; he is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature" --George Bernard Shaw, "Caesar and Cleopatra" "And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music."--Friedrich Nietzsche "A kind Providence has placed in our breasts a hatred of the unjust and cruel, in order that we may preserve ourselves from cruelty and injustice. They who bear cruelty, are accomplices in it. The pretended gentleness which excludes that charitable rancour, produces an indifference which is half an approbation. They never will love where they ought to love, who do not hate where they ought to hate."--Edmund Burke “You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours.”--General Sir Charles Napier "Μολὼν λαβέ" -- Leonidas "Blogito Ergo Sum" -- Neptunus Lex Amazon AssociateFor the Effort!Winnar!

Yes, that was the worst rubbish in the world. Hassan, you scum, you are next.
I don’t propose to lose any sleep over this. Justice was done.
I’ll drink to that!
Now I have two successive days of rememberance; the first celebratory, followed by one of solom contemplation.
VX,
On a lighter note, I found that web site Home On The Range from another blog I read, who said she was worth reading as both a supporter and exerciser of the Second Amendment; the recipes and overall excellent discourse as well keeps me coming back. Sorry on the late delay, but I figured it was Lex’s day and I’d hold on the distraction.
I lived in Northern Virginia during this terrorist’s reign. Once I was at an ATM at night making a withdrawal not that far from the scene of one of the attacks and had a distinct chill run up my back thinking, while standing at the machine, all lit up by the lights that illuminated the machine in great contrast to the darkness elsewhere surrounding it, that I was presenting a great target should he and his partner be stalking new victims in the environs.
Hastening back to the car, cash in hand I experienced just how monsters like this take a bit of one’s easy to take for granted sense of freedom away.
Seeing justice finally done in this case reminds me just how close we live to a state of anarchy and why I feel the death penalty is justified in cases like this.
It also makees me almost wish that Major Hassan would be tried in civil courts here in my adopted state of Texas. As Ron White jokes: “In Texas we have the death penalty. And we USE it.
Thats right, if you come to Texas and kill somebody, we will kill you back. Thats our policy.
Theyre trying to pass a bill right now through the Texas Legislature that will speed up the process of execution in heinous crimes where theres more than three credible eye witnesses…
Other states are trying to abolish the death penalty – my states puttin in an express lane.”
One year after 9/11 and there we were – using cars to shield ourselves while pumping gas, our co-workers zig-zagging in parking lots hurrying to/from their cars, band competitions held in gyms and football games canceled. Every white van, minivan, panel truck was suspect – so much so people started painting “It’s Not Me” and “I’m a Plumber NOT a Sniper!” on the back of their vehicles. The Beltway? What a zoo (more than normal) as vehicles would be pulled over by large numbers of state troopers…
Yeah – one year later and we were living in a state of siege.
No tears shed last night – justice well and duly applied.

The only thing that is regrettable about this is that history will rememeber the name of this scum far more easily than the names of his victims.
From his statement, Muhammad’s lawyer should have been on the neighboring table.
Whatever else I might have had to say would be overshadowed by the comments of OT6, SJS, and Kris, and not that I mind a damn bit. Lives disrupted from their normal routine out of fear, a community living in a state of siege, and families left numb from the senselessness of such brutality.
Engendering such terror in any community, as did this vile and despicable being, is so far beyond the pale of humanity as to warrant a violent and terrible response to such as Mohammed. What offends me most is that it took seven years to bring judicial closure to this situation, a closure that may never come to the families of the victims. Pray God heal their wounds and bear them up in the years to come.
As for Hasan, a long, tall tree and a short piece of rope. Soonest.
Hassan will probably die of old age, if he isn’t included with the Gitmo scum and released outright. Wait and see.
I love the defense team throwing everything against the wall there: “He didn’t do it, but if he did it was only because he had Gulf War Syndrome, oh… and he’s schizophrenic, and the death penalty is wrong anyway, and someone else did it, but he’s paranoid, psychotic and delusional, and he’s got no remorse, but he didn’t do it.”
I’m not a lawyer, so I struggle to understand why irrelevancies such as MikeD mentions are OK to use in court and testimony on previous criminal records and such are not. If we allow one, we should allow the other.
The only question should be, did he/she do it. A suspect’s motivation or bad childhood or mental states don’t matter a bit to the victims and are irrelevant to whether he/she broke the law.
Two abbreviations leap to mind … SODDI [some other dude did it] and SSDD [same s**t different day]. I predict we’ll see both used during Hasan’s lawyer’s defense of the indefensible. As long as his case is tried in a military court, both those abbreviations won’t make a darn bit of difference.

Good riddance is right. And now one more execution needs to take place. But first a short commentary: you can’t be openly gay in the military, but you can apparently be openly Jihadist. Here’s to hoping that when the fine Major is taken off life support and fully recovers (at the taxpayers expense), he is put on trial and executed for his war crimes at Ft. Hood. In my 13 years I never heard of an openly gay servicemember opening fire on his fellow men (women). It’s time for a change.
As on commentator said, “PC has now killed.” It has gonemuch too far, and it’s time we kicked all the PC types out of the GOFO ranks, and told the left, “no more.”
I think they should bring back the firing squad for folks like this. Give them a taste of their own actions.
