Shep Smith just reporting that the scumbag will be tried in military court
LOL! ‘The Full Mohammad’.
There is not enough to go around and who would want to be armored up for mess hall or a movie?
It’s important that they levy terrorism charges. And terrorism charges make it flip to Federal court.
A declared Terroist goes to Civil court under rule of homeland Securty law.
A Non Terrorist.......stays in the Military Court under Military Law.
NICE MOVE ARMY.....deny he’s a Terrorist and he gets Military Justice.
A firing Squad of Military Women....with no Habib ?
AIM LOW gals.....
I read a day or so ago it would be up to the bamster
I read somewhere today that the military hasn’t executed anyone since 1961. Suddenly I am reminded of the soldier who killed an officer hours before invadin Iraq. Whatever happened to him (was also muslim)?
Can any lawyers say whether or not Hasan could have been charged with federal terrorism charges, or treason charges (its sounding like he’ll just get murder and consume oxygen at Leavenworth for years to come)
You'd think that killing twelve military people would qualify a traitor for the death penalty.
I hope we're not not entering a time when the military would be a more political arena than the state. If that were true I'd want Texas to do the job.
I just don't know what to think either.
Can you clarify? Does this mean he’s not up for the death penalty?
WIll his family’s lawyers be sent packing then?
You know, I’m totally ok with diversity as long as those diverse service members actually support this country. Anyone, regardless of race, religion, and/or gender, who expresses anti-American sentiments or who has ties to known terrorists should NOT be eligible to serve. With all of the assessment tools used in the military, surely there is a tool available to assess for ACTUAL support of country, not just lip service so U.S. taxpayers will pay for medical school.
I am by no means expert in this, but just recall that on earlier threads there was some discussion that depending on the charges the penalty under Texas jurisdiction would be more severe than under military jurisdiction. Could be we won’t know until we hear the charges. But I can promise you there are a lot of po’d Texans who would have no problem with giving him entry into our court system.
Wasn't it the military and government that protected this guy?
My understanding is the death penalty applies in both cases. But that if terrorism is EXCLUDED then there would be no Federal charges.
But I am no expert.
That sounds pretty dopey. And every law or penalty seems like it's going to be arbitrarily applied in this day and age. We can't even count on that anymore.
It depends on which way the political winds are blowing I suppose...
Even IF the Army spent half a million to educate this guy...They were still stupid not to let him leave!
Either cancel his Iraq tour, and let him quietly leave the Army IF they don’t want to court martial the guy for treasonous comments. Then follow him after his discharge with the CIA ...Oh, wait, they WERE following him!
This was like a very very bad Mack Sennet comedy that turned tragic.
Okay, got it, thanks. So we wait and see if we’re going to pacify Islam. I’m WAY tired of all this political correctness.
Someone else posted that it should be tried as treason which is actually worse than terrorism.
The body takes its lead from the head. The POTUS sets the agenda and the mood.
We're screwed.
