Just watching CNN unfortunately and they referred to Hasan multiple times as the alleged shooter. Did I miss something where this is in doubt or are they just flat out insane?
Maybe so; but it doesn't seem like it would be hard in this particular case. As each days passes, more and more evidence is coming out, and being discovered on this guy. IMHO, this could have been prevented.
And the more I see, and I think the majority of Americans feel the same, as far as what limited evidence has been publicly disclosed, I become more and more outraged that our government, our military, those in charge, ignored those "red flags" on this guy.
And how much MORE do they now know, that confirms those suspicions, and are they refusing to publicly acknowledge out of some obligation to prevent a public backlash, and because of some sense of political correctness?
That's all I will say, because it would then cross forum guidelines, and should be conducted over on the Peanut Gallery.
But I think his intent, as to why he committed this massacre, can be easily established. And who knows? Now that he is recovering, and able to speak, he may hang himself with his own words.

Oh, I'm not going to lose any sleep if he is executed. But in this day and age, can you execute a man if he shown to be emotionally disturbed, deranged? And right now, that seems to be the defense offered for his actions... he was just crazy.
That previous "scenario" I posted was more of the vindictive "human" side of me speaking, wanting this guy to be kept alive to suffer.
Like a good western movie cliche.... "Oh he'll receive a fair trial. Then we'll hang him."

Perhaps he was "just crazy" or perhaps he was "just evil."
It is an interesting issue, and probably one we can't discuss here. If the terrorists on the 9/11 flights could somehow be resurrected to stand trial no doubt many, perhaps all, of them would offer an insanity plea.
Maybe I am just mean and vindictive, but I still vote for execution. Hitler was crazy, but he was also evil.

Crazy people that kill someone doesnt make them any less of a killer. The crazy thing wont fly if they dig up enough dirt id imagine.
