Ft. Hood Shooting Rampage, Raw Video Footage
Here is some raw video footage from the Ft. Hood shooting rampage that was perpetrated on our Soldiers yesterday. This horrific act was perpetrated by a islamic radical terrorist who was a member of the United States Army. Remember, this is a GLOBAL war on terrorism. It’s not against any particular country or group, it is global and it is about 9th century ideology trying to bring down and destroy western society. The shooting rampage took place in the Howze Theater and at the Soldiers Readiness Processing Center, where Soldiers were being processed to be deployed to either Iraq or Afghanistan.
The main stream media and the family of the alleged perpetrator, Major Malik Nidal Hasan, are painting this as a disgruntled Army officer who was conflicted about the war on terrorism and terrified of being deployed to the Middle East and had been picked on by his fellow Soldiers because he’s a muslim. However, the people who have worked with him say that he was radicalized, preached the Koran, stated he was muslim first and American second, was unable to get along with his peers or relate to the Soldiers he was supposed to be helping at Walter Reed Hospital.
He had given away his belongs the morning of his massacre and screamed ‘Allah Akbar’ before he began shooting. These aren’t the acts of someone who just ‘lost it’ or felt disaffected by his peers. These are the acts of a terrorist. They are war crimes against the United States. He attacked the largest military base in the United States and the President hasn’t found the time to go there and has only mentioned it peripherally while he has focused on things he apparently views as more important than 13 killed and 32 wounded Soldiers.
The media’s and family’s claims don’t ring true. He could have resigned. He didn’t just snap. He deliberately and intentionally took out as many American Soldiers as he possibly could. Thankfully, he will be tried by military tribunal. Since he’s an officer, he MIGHT be given the dignity of a firing squad rather than hanging, although I personally don’t think that he deserves that consideration. He is an enemy combatant and should be treated as a traitor.
Here is some raw video footage taken immediately after the Ft. Hood shooting rampage.

Well done, Beth. I’ll be hoping for a hanging, as public and unceremoniously shameful to his kind as is possible.
One point, though. I read (Blackfive, I think) that the reason he couldn’t easily resign (and also why the Army was so pathetically slow to discipline or discharge him) was that he was under a long committment to repay the Military years of service in exchange for the cost of his education. Long repayment committments and ridiculously easy rank advancement are apparently common for enlisted medical personnel (also explains his rank of Major, in spite of his very questionable fitness).
Not that that justified his actions, at all. You’re 100% right that he’d planned this all out. I concur with you that he should be treated as a traitor.
