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.
-——all I know is , when I got off the bus at the Army training camp at Ft Jackson, one of our first assignments was a visit to the “Barber Shoppe” where we as recruits and on the US payroll were REQUIRED to be SHORN. NO exceptions!This POS is still being paid as if he was “on duty”. What’s the darn problem. Follow your orders!!??
And while I’m at it, piss on the troops who followed Patton’s and MacArthur’s orders to attack the WWI vets.
Do not feed him to the hogs. That would put me off any pork for at least a year. Yuck!
One should never make a threat one is not prepared to follow through on. (And mostly it's better not to threaten at all - just do it!)
This makes the judge look like a pathetic weakling. He should recuse himself.
If those involved had some wit, they would feed Hasan a mickey, then use laser hair removal over his entire beard area while he was asleep. Then the judge could order him to not regrow his beard, and, lo and behold, it wouldn’t grow, “just because the judge ordered it not to!”
It'll be on hold until after the election. CNN's can't connect dots when the dots make dems look self-serving...
When you have top ranking people in the White Hut, the DOD, including the Pentagon and JAG, who are giving aid and comfort to the enemy, is the fact this islamoterrorist is still alive and growing a beard any surprise?
Maggots & buzzards gotta eat, too. Dump it in an open field.
Blanket party.
Trial.
Firing squad.
If I had been there that day, we would not be talking about a trial for this muslime. I'd have taken his gun and emptied a full magazine into his sorry muslime butt.
Hey, we have plenty of feral hogs in Texas, including the Killeen area. I say stake his sorry muslime butt to an area frequented by them and let them dine on crap.
I thought the judge threatened to shave the beard himself .. what happened to that ..????
The man volunteered for duty. He signed a contract and swore an oath to obey lawful orders. No beards in the Army has been a long standing order in modern times. This is 100% pure B.S.
Everyone seems to want to spend money on this piece of filth. No need to shave him, no need for a costly trial, no need to feed um.
Just tie him to some large chunks of scrap concrete and push him out over the ocean somewhere from a C130 that was headed that way anyways.
The water will take care of the rest for you.
Not a thing wrong with that plan either. We don’t need to spend any more time or money on this piece of crap.
For sadistic entertainment, put him in a bare cell, put him in restraints, and give him head lice. he’ll be screaming for a razor in 24 hrs. Those little bugs are quite annoying!
