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."

Sergeant Todd’s wife, Lisa, said that he had asked the army to protect his identity in the immediate aftermath of last week's shootings. Her husband did not consider himself to be the real hero of the day, she said. “They were in this together,” she said.

I say leave it alone.

[When do we get liberated?]

Wrong. Nothing better than 72 virgins and he is paralysed from the chest down.

[When do we get liberated?]

Actually7 I would like to see him live anouther 40 years sitting in hospital bed paralysed. He would welcome your option right now.

[magslinger]

I got that one, Vlad.

“Actually7 I would like to see him live anouther 40 years sitting in hospital bed paralysed.”

Surrounded by 72 virgins...just out of reach.

Torture!

Nice shootin Tex.

[madison10]

So the virgin thing won’t work out anyway...

[BARLF]

I agree, it was a team deal.

[ExGeeEye]

Yeah, bury him facedown, head to the west, with a slice of bacon in his mouth; don’t fill in the hole right away, but stand an outhouse over it for a year first.

Hasan is paralyzed from the chest down, is incontinent and "in severe pain." Justice begins.

[SledgeCS]

Yes, you did. After shooting him with the pig blood dripped bullet his body needs to the sewn into the empty carcass of a pig and then buried face down with his ass pointing to mecca.

The 99.44% of lawyers who are willing to make a little money defending the absolute scum of the earth are what gives lawyering a bad name.

[When do we get liberated?]

Why? There is no Allah and he will suffer none from the long term effects of bacon grease. Sentence him to life in a pig pen. They will eat him long before he needs his colostomy bag and wouldn’t that be irony?

[When do we get liberated?]

OK, an anonymous crackpot said it. Time to get behind the conspracy ship.

[armymarinemom]

I keep having thoughts of putting bacon on his feet. Yes, it’s wrong but I’m not a perfect person.

[boatbums]

I don’t know...there’s certain things a pig wont do! ;o)
