An Army psychiatrist charged with killing 13 people in a shooting rampage at Fort Hood will be forcibly shaved if he doesn't remove his beard himself, a judge said Wednesday.
Maj. Nidal Hasan appeared in court Wednesday sporting a beard as he did during a court appearance last month. The beard violates Army regulations, but Hasan said it is an expression of his Muslim faith.
The judge, Col. Gregory Gross, held Hasan in contempt of court for keeping the beard and fined him $1,000. Fort Hood spokesman Chris Haug said Gross gave Hasan the choice to shave on his own or be forcibly shaved sometime before his court-martial begins Aug. 20.
Hasan, 41, is charged with 13 counts of premeditated murder and 32 counts of attempted premeditated murder in the November 2009 shootings. He faces the death penalty if convicted.

But but... I thought this kind of thing didn’t happen anymore, because the Saracens had infiltrated all levels of government, and there were shadowy globalists controlling them, and they’ve made sure we’re defenseless anyway, and Obammy answers to them, and and and...

I hope they use a traditional straight razor, and he thrashes around while they use it.
Or a 5¢ one-way shaver:

The man is an officer in the US Army. He is in a military prison. He should be facing inspection at least weekly.
The question is how did he ever manage to grow a beard in the first place.

What’s the big deal? He’s forced to live in a cell. He’s forced to eat the jailhouse grub. He’s forced to come to court. etc, etc, etc.
What is the “story” here?
The military can do whatever they want. I say stick him in a cell with a Bible until he is convicted then take him out and shoot him.
Now we can go on to the next meaningless topic.

The fact that these raghead, murdering, bastards think that Allah's law is the only thing they have to go by in life is reason enough for everyone to detest them. If you believe in the Koran you are an enemy of the United States of America. Islam is the opposite of “peace”. And my big question is, why is this POS still breathing?

The barber should take a run at him from across the room with a straight razor in his hand, yelling “Allahu Akbar!” - just to make him shite himself.
