Where Are They Now: The Ft Hood Killer
Remember Major Nidal Malik Hasan? The Religion of Peace guy? It’s been a year now since he jumped on a table, yelled “Alah Hu Akhbar” and began a shooting rampage that killed 13 and wounded 31. Obama was straight on the television (surprise) but didn’t use the T-word (surprise). It was “violence” apparently.
You know how we are shocked when we’re told there are civil servants it’s too tricky or expensive to sack? Or we’ll upset their Yuman Rights? Well it’s a lot more fun in the US…exactly a year later he’s still drawing his Army pay.
BELTON– Accused Fort Hood shooter Maj. Nidal Hasan is still drawing checks from the military but as of today he is without a bank to deposit them into after Bank of America put him on notice last month it will terminate his checking account.In a letter dated June 28, the bank informed Hasan it would close his account in 30 days. The letter does not give a reason for the action.
The move has caused Hasan’s legal team, led by Belton attorney John Galligan, to search for another bank willing to take on a client accused of killing 13 and attempting to kill 32 others in a Nov. 5 shooting spree on Fort Hood.
So far, six local bank branches have refused to allow Hasan to open an account to have his checks direct deposited, Galligan said.
Next he’ll be suing the banks who won’t take his blood money. And winning, doubtless. He was responsible for the first terrorist attack on US soil after 9/11…..why is he even still breathing one year down the line, let alone drawing a salary?
“…why is he even still breathing one year down the line, let alone drawing a salary” ?
I could well be proven wrong .. but I have a feeling the answer to this (surely rhetorical question) might be found in his name ..
I believe its what “Plod” used to call a clue …. 😉
Maybe the delay is partly explained by Hasan having to spend several months in a hospital bed ‘learning to care for himself’. Hasan’s currently in County Gaol (at a cost to the Army of $200,000+ per 6 months).
His Court Martial is supposed to start in October. But he’ll probably not feel the noose for the next five years+.
To be fair the question was a wah. But there will probably be a reluctance to send him off to his eternal reward of celestial virgins in case it ‘offends’ someone.
As military justice is not quite as long-winded and squeamish about getting on with it as the civilian equivalent there’s an outside chance he will actually face the consequences rather than die of old age. Whish is a good thing.
Captain Haddock is right. Thank Allah for Allah. This piece of scum should swing for what he did at Ft Hood.
Picture the scene ….
Maj Nidal Malik Hasan performing a creditable rendition of “Riverdance” outside the Company Office .. when a stentorian voice calls out .. “March the guilty bastard in Sarn’t Major” .. a short interview (without coffee) follows and Hasan “Riverdances” his way to Pompey Dockyard DQ’s ..
Alas, only a dream on my part .. but it would certainly have prevented any further farting in church on his part …. =-O >:o 😀 😀
Riverdance appropriate enough as Deeks became the RM School of Music 🙂
You’ve just reminded me, though, to repeat my irregular trawl of eBay for a copy of The Red Sailor. Unsuccessful as usual.
Yes .. apparently the cells are now practice rooms & I understand the original “suicide” nets are still hanging in place ..
There weren’t many who “volunteered” for a return visit … >:o >:o 😉
To be fair Hasan is still just ‘the accused’ and it is not for a commercial bank to pronounce guilt and punishment (withdrawal of banking services) just because the courts are taking ages to try him. In the same way the British justice system pays the rent and sometimes mortgage of prisoners on remand just in case they are found not guilty.
And he will do. After years of getting a free worldwide pulpit to spout his bile and hatred from.
It wasn’t really the bank I was thinking about, which as you say can and should do what it likes. It was more the fact that their actions highlighted the fact he was being paid at all. That is my objection – that the Army are still employing the bloke.
