Fort Hood Shooter Trial Delayed Indefinitely Over Beard
The Blaze ^ | Augnust 18, 2012 | Madeleine Morgenstern

A military appeals court placed the trial for accused Fort Hood shooter Maj. Nidal Hasan on hold indefinitely Friday amid continuing issues surrounding Hasan’s refusal to shave his beard, CNN reported.

The court martial was first halted Wednesday so the appeals court could consider the Army psychiatrist’s objections to being forcibly shaved. He has been fined and held in contempt repeatedly for remaining bearded, which is a violation of Army regulations, but says the facial hair is an expression of his faith. Hasan, 41, is an American-born Muslim.

Hasan’s court martial had been scheduled to start Monday for the 2009 mass shooting at Fort Hood, for which he faces 13 charges of premeditated murder and 32 counts of attempted meditated murder.

Hasan first grew the beard in June, prompting a pre-trial hearing to be postponed. The judge in the case, Col. Gregory Gross, threatened in July to have Hasan forcibly shaved if he did not comply with orders to remove the beard on his own.

According to CNN, it was unclear how long the case would be on hold.

I would assume PC has ruled the day so not to cause the sensibilities of foreign savages from rioting when he is strapped down and shaved....

This is very simple. Restrain what’s left of his usable appendages, then shave it off. I would prefer that they use a dull blade and no shaving cream, but a ceremonial sword and some Barbasol could also work. Anyhow, this really isn’t a very hard decision to make. It offends me greatly that this wretched, sub-human slime has yet to be tried.

Hang his bearded a$$ from a tree and be done with it. Send him to hell, where traitors should be sent.

Shoot him, load the corpse on a C 130, and shove it out the back door over the ocean miles and miles from land

Why shoot him first?

Is this lunacy for real?

Which? Hassan's court-martial trial or this Administration?

Tell him he is going immediately to Gitmo and will be put in general population where his jihadi brothers will have to take care of him and change his diapers. Then just do it.

Put the raghead under, shave him, wake him up and take him to trail immediately. After he is found guilty, take him to the firing squad - case closed. Next case!!!

Killing people is “an expression of his faith” obviously by definition. So why is he stopped from that? Such discrimination! Man we’re screwed.

Give him a special depilatory shampoo. Problem solved.

That the murderer — part of the ROT (religion of terror) hasn’t been convicted at least means he can’t receive a presidential pardon ... which, although unthinkable to patriotic Americans, is not beyond the realm of possiblity.

Why would it take two years to try this man? President Obama said we should not jump to conclusions on this his guilt.

And now we have to have a national debate on whether he can be leagally shaved, although as a member of the military he has already agreed to military grooming standards? Is President Obama shielding this man?

Either America gets common sense or it will be surpassed by Argentina.

Don't think for a second Muzzies all over the world don't see it and are laughing their heads off at the cowardly infidels and cheering their killers onward!

Especially the one in Washington DC.

There's a long standing military tradition which alleviated problems similar to this one. If you had an individual who failed to take proper care of their “hygiene” issues, they would be forcibly dragged either to the shower or patio, soaped up and hosed down.

This would occur after ample warnings, “If you don't wash your stinky 'butt', I will wash it for you!”

I'd say we have a precedence.

Strap him down, DRY SHAVE his whole stinking body, make him stand trial in only his skivvies.

That may keep some other wannabe mudslimz from trying a copy cat performance.

If elected again, I fully expect Obama to pardon his fellow muzzie.
