VIP Treatment: Accused Fort Hood Shooter Gets Daily Helicopter Rides

NBC 5 Investigates has learned the accused Fort Hood shooter Maj. Nidal Hasan receives extraordinary treatment in jail while victims of the attack argue they have been forgotten and mistreated by the U.S. Army.

While a prisoner awaiting trial, Hasan is ferried by helicopter nearly every day, complete with an additional helicopter escort and security detail, for the 20-mile journey between the Bell County Jail and Fort Hood, courtesy of the United States Army and American taxpayers.

The Army told NBC 5 Investigates the daily helicopter rides are necessary because the jail does not have the proper facilities for Hasan to work on his legal defense and transporting Hasan by car creates additional security concerns. Fort Hood does not have its own jail, so Hasan is being held at the Bell County Jail under a special Army contract.

Condolences to families and friends of all who perished as a result of Fort Hood.

The enemies/enablers-industry within. The monetary damage keeps accumulating. The psychological damage is incalculable. Stay strong.

By the way, the response from the prosecutor in response to adding the soldier’s suicide to the death toll was “We can not make a comment or respond to this out of the respect for Gen. Hasan’s legal process.”

If only George Zimmerman had been afforded likewise "neautrality" by the President and the prosecutor in his case.

One local story, one time, no follow-up is about what we expect from the MSM

The MSM doesn't cover local crime investigations.

Send a link of the story to all your email contacts and like it for facebook. At least it will get some coverage. That’s about all we can do.

.......“We can not make a comment or respond to this out of the respect for Gen. Hasan’s legal process.”........

“GEN. Hasan”? Since when did a “major” jump directly to become a “General”. Did he get a promotion for killing all those good soldiers?

You know, what I don’t really understand about all this, besides the lunacy of how he’s being treated my the government of course, is why getting around to his trial is taking so long. Is he claiming that he didn’t do it? If not, is he claiming that he has the right to kill non-muslims (i.e., anyone not worshiping satan), any time he wants?

Give him the death sentence, and then release him to the survivors of the murder victims.

“to research and study resources on the military base.”

“Be a shame if his wheelchair rolled out of the helicopter.”

Don’t you just hate when that happens? The pilot ought to be reprimanded for banking the helicopter so steeply. And why don’t they have doors on those things anyways?

NBC has probably also told the local station to SHUT UP
