Fort Hood shooter Major Nidal Hasan forcibly shaved in military prison after being sentenced to death
• Major Nidal Hasan began growing a beard in the years after the November 2009 shooting that left 13 dead and 30 wounded
The Army psychiatrist sentenced to death for the Fort Hood shooting rampage has been forcibly shaved, an Army spokesman said on Tuesday.
Major Nidal Hasan began growing a beard in the years after the November 2009 shooting that left 13 dead and 30 wounded. The beard prompted delays to his court-martial because it violated Army grooming regulations.
He was convicted of all charges last month at his court-martial at the Central Texas Army post and sentenced to death.
Now, Hasan is an inmate at the U.S. Detention Barracks at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, home to the military death row.
Lt. Col. S. Justin Platt, an Army spokesman, said in a statement on Tuesday that Hasan had been shaved. He did not specify when or provide details, however.
Officials at Fort Leavenworth previously had said Hasan would be subject to Army regulations.
Hasan dispensed with all criminal defense counsel and represented himself during his trial. A message left with John Galligan, Hasan's first criminal defense attorney who still represents him in civil matters, was not returned.
Hasan said he grew the beard because his Muslim faith required it and was not meant as a show of disrespect.

It’s always been my preference to toss his muzzie ass into a pen with about 3 or 4 really starving wild boars, I would buy a ticket to see that.
Use an Epilady on him.
I had this image flash before my eyes; Somebody puts a Mickey in “Major” Nidal Hasan’s tea bong, he goes to sleep in the Barber’s Chair, he wakes up minutes later, with bright red hair braids weaved in, looking like Pippi Longstocking. Nidal shown his reflection in the mirror, gets a MAJOR shock, takes a ‘permanent nap’.
Yes sir, that is now Private (E1) Nidal Hasan, a clean shaven Private Hasan
(about time)
I don’t understand why he was allowed to have the beard all during the trial and the lead up to it. Why wasn’t he forcibly shaved from day 1 after the murders?
I make a point of using lower case letters in reference to anything islamic. Other than that, I don’t really care about the spelling.
