Is this a hint they you looking for someone who helped him???

[mbarker12474]

No. It’s yet another news story avoiding the topic of Islam and Jihad.

Is this a hint they you looking for someone who helped him???

Maybe. More likely to me is the media is trying out a new angle.

1. PTSD - didn't work, terrorist wasn't deployed yet.
2. Overstressed military as a whole - too big of a reach
3. Compassion syndrome - they're still floating this idea.
4. Gun or gun shop's fault

If I owned the gun store, I'd be readying my books for a full-scale audit.

He took the gun into the base illegally. Why should it shock anyone that he bought it illegally?

[a fool in paradise]

Maybe, maybe not. Elsewhere, he filled out on some documentation that his nationality was Palestinian even though he was born in Virginia and served in the US military.

I guess to bring up such distractions means that this case too has “birther” theories.

Still wondering how the other 2 guys got brought into the case as suspects. They were released but I am curious about the circumstances that led to suspicions against them.

[GeronL]

Nope.

They will blame everyone but Hasan

[Sir Gawain]

Was it NY undercovers coming down to make straw purchases again?

[ctdonath2]

Standard investigation. Find out where the tools of the crime came from. Gather all the evidence you can, and from that see if anything interesting can be discerned (if that be a conspiracy, or nothing, so be it).

[Gaffer]

My guess is that all they’d have to do is find the Muslim employee, but that as we all know is racist, bigoted and ungentlemanly of me.

[JenB987]

Doubt it.

They (media) are trying the gun control route now.

[dila813]

I know the name, but I am not telling because it may compromise the investigation. Knowing it was someone else’s name is enough to raise the whiskers on my face.

Was the guy’s name Abel Nidal?

[pnh102]

Ahhh, so it is the gun dealer’s fault then, right.

[TADSLOS]

A great gun store, BTW.

[the long march]

Think of the reporting done by Jayna Davis about the third suspect in the Murrah Building bombings. There is a deeper story here and we may never know it

[Marty62]

Yep the idiots from Washington let it slip their is someone else involved.
The Rangers huh. That means TEXAS gets to nail his ass.

[freekitty]

This is getting stickier and stickier.

[The Comedian]

I bet the name included "Muhammad" in there somewhere.

This obviously calls for more gun control, and fewer restrictions on Muslims.

BTW, that Ft. Hood area was a GUN FREE ZONE. Why you, as a commanding officer, would ever allow, let alone order, that your men be unarmed is beyond me.

Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.
