Major Nidal Hasan, charged with killing 13 in the Fort Hood shooting spree, is paralyzed from the chest down and is not a flight risk, said his defense attorney after a hearing before a military magistrate in Hasan's hospital room Saturday. The accused Fort Hood shooter had his first court hearing in the intensive care unit of a San Antonio hospital at 1 p.m. His status has now been changed from pre-trial restriction to pre-trial confinement, meaning that he will be confined until his court martial.
The military magistrate ruled that Hasan will stay at Brooke Army Medical Center for now, but the military has the option of moving him to another medical facility or to jail. According to defense attorney John Galligan, Hasan is paralyzed from the chest down, is incontinent and "in severe pain."
"He is an individual in need of constant medical attention," Galligan said. "He has no sensation from his chest down."

Sadly, I figure there's a lawyer somewhere just chomping at the bit to sue somebody over that.
I know where they can place a pole to hold him up for the firing squad.

The poor virgins are RELIEVED.4
Sorry - as I hit post, the cat added that 4.
oops shove not shive
Ah, maybe not just from the hips down. So the news gets better.
"Yes, the Dr Gillespie killings"
Prop Him up and shoot Him again.
Cerberus will drag him by the scruff. N/P there.
Actually, I kind of like “shive”!
So that would mean that he’ll have to be carried to his appointment with Old Sparky.An absolute shame if ya ask me.
Hasan wasn’t planning on this sort of pit stop on the way to muzzie afterworld! Now to figure out how to be a homicidal martyr in a wheelchair. Old Mohammed didn’t write that part into the K’s play book.
State controlled media *never* leaves out the Major in front of this piece of pig dung’s name. If I’m not mistaken, that convention was not always followed when mentioning his victims. I get offended every time I see the “Major” there - why isn’t he a private already?
Or some goats either in the meantime.
Another article says he had been concerned about an HIV test, I wonder what he has been up to.
Gotta admit -- it is a great argument for the defense to try to avoid the death penalty.
No, I want him to live a very long time, peeing himself and in pain. I want him to be an example to other jihadis so they can see what the REAL God has in store for those who destroy life they way he did.
"Major Nidal Hasan, charged with killing 13 in the Fort Hood shooting spree, is paralyzed from the chest down and is not a flight risk, said his defense attorney..."
Never believe a defense attorney.
YESSS!! GREAT PHOTO!!!
I’m not Jewish, yet I feel the urge to scream MAZEL TOV!!!!!
