Surveillance video shows Fort Hood suspect before shootings
CNN ^ | November 6, 2009 2:05 a.m. EST | U/A

(CNN) -- An owner of a 7-Eleven convenience store in Fort Hood, Texas, said Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan came in for coffee and hashbrowns most mornings, including the morning he allegedly shot dozens of soldiers.

Surveillance video from the store obtained by CNN shows a man who, according to the store owner, is Hasan at the cashier's counter at about 6:20 a.m. Thursday (7:20 a.m. ET) -- about seven hours before the mass shooting -- carrying a beverage and dressed in traditional Arab garb.

"He looked normal, came in had his hashbrowns and coffee as you see in the surveillance video," the owner told CNN.

Another surveillance video from the store on Tuesday showed the man believed to be Hasan in scrubs.

While the owner said he was too busy to chat with Hasan whom he knows as "Major Nidal" on Thursday, he said that through his brief talks with Hasan he learned the officer's background was Jordanian, though he didn't speak Arabic well. He added that Hasan didn't wear a wedding ring and joked several times on whether the owner knew a bride for him.

Hasan would also ask the owner whether he planned to attend Friday prayers, a mainstay of Islam, to which the owner would say that he was too busy.

>>and dressed in traditional Arab garb

That was a detail I hadn’t heard before. Why wouldn’t the “news” media report this interesting and relevant fact?

You might be right, chances are he might not have done it but chances are also that he could have been going off meds or something which set him off on a tangent, I guess we will know eventually, but I thought one can’t own a firearm if diagnosed “mentally ill” whatever that might mean, since according to Freud almost everyone fits into that description it just seems another way for the gun grabbers to get their way with the public and the soldiers. IN their perfect world nobody owns a firearm and everyone loves each other. Being able to prescribe drugs means he could have had access to just about anything for mood disorders, but if he felt everyone were insane then he probably felt no remorse in killing anyone, see where this goes, his line of training and thinking would have given him a sense of the futility in caring for life at all, add into the mix, war in the middle east and his religion, maybe he felt no less than anyone else killing people in the middle east, he had to rationalize it somehow...or he just went off his rocker, or always had been but somehow kept it under control for most his life.

There is an old joke, that the difference between the doctors from the inmates in a mental hospital is that the doctors take their meds.

Investigate? Absolutely. All of the records of his clients need to be cleared. This guy had no business diagnosing, recommending, etc.

He had no business being around soldiers.

The idiot spokesman was asked if the attack was terrorism. He said the evidence didn’t point to that. I think that was even before they knew they had a live body. He is just shooting off his lip. They didn’t know anything at that point. Just lying.

>>> "Wearing arab garb on an army base? I could hardly believe my eyes..." <<<

Don't miss this photograph from the 7-11 of Hasan. I wonder if he was wearing this outfit while he murdered American soldiers, or if the reports about shooters in fatigues was accurate.

Also being around WDC and being involved in Walter Reed puts him in proximity to CIA and other “black budget” groups, etc. Maybe another Sirhan Sirhan in the works, a “Parallax View”, what maybe weird I just watched it for my first time the other night... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Parallax_View

Of course we always have the lone nut angle too.

There is absolutely no future for America unless we go totally to nuclear power. We have enought fuel for 10,000 years! Nuclear power could produce hydrogen gas from water. Ford and BMW have hydrogen powered cars NOW!

We are, of course, TOO POLITICALLY CORRECT for that, and so, TOO POLITICALLY CORRECT TO LIVE. Let the last American turn out the lights, or candle, or whatever. It's OVER!

Of course he was normal. He was a normal murderous psychotic Muslim. Nothing unusual at all.

So what? If he was he wasn’t taking enough. If Mohhamed (piss be on him) had taken Haldol for his psychotic hallucinations his murder cult would never have been born.

The muzzie store owner had been deployed to Iraq previously.

Silly me had no idea we were deploying muslims to fight muslims. I assumed the only muslims in the military would be translators listening to chatter.
