Another update, this looks encouraging in terms of holding the Army back until PFC Lawrence’s status is medically established.

...............................................

An Army panel is working to determine whether Lawrence is sane enough to stand trial.

In military court, a defendant can be found innocent if it is determined mental illness left him “unable to appreciate the nature and quality or wrongfulness” of a crime.

Also, under court-martial rules, a defendant may not stand trial if they aren’t competent to understand what’s happening in the courtroom or participate in their own defense.

Culp argued during the hearing that Lawrence, who frequently fell asleep at the defense desk, didn’t understand the proceeding.

He said Friday that it’s doubtful the evaluation of Lawrence will be finished by a Dec. 10 deadline set by the Army, which could delay further proceedings.

If the mental evaluation takes more time, it could be weeks before a Fort Carson general decides whether Lawrence will stand trial.

Thanks for the links.

Whether David Lawrence was “motivated” by a serious illness, or something else, IMO, he did the right thing.

Take a look a the big picture.

I would bet way over half of the conflict in the world is because of radical islam. The Middle East, the Phillipines, Iraq, Afghanistan, Somalia. Russia, and it’s former satellites. Bosnia. Chechnya. Turkey falls away. Yemen is a new home. It is seemingly an endless parade.

Iran and their pet raving lunatic.

The troubles in Pakistan.

The troubles in India.

The troubles in western Europe.

NYC. Fort Hood. Portland. Oklahoma City.

The Oklahoma City bombing had ties to radical islam.

Most of the countries that support terrorism are moslem

Most acts of terrorism in the world are committed by islamites.

We are in Afghanistan to take the war on terror to one of it’s main sources. Yet it is nothing more than a political dance.

The US govt. has given us the Patriot Act, the TSA, Homeland Security. For what reason? To protect us from radical islam. To the point we are all suspects and rights and freedoms are set aside to “protect” us.

The FBI spying on AMERICANS.

Your grandma can’t cross the street without some govt. agency making sure those knitting needles in her bag aren’t loaded.

To protect us from radical islam.

The moderate moslems are ok. Right.

The problem with the moslems is they change their loyalties like my wife changes her underwear (I would’ve used myself as an example, but, well...)

The Govt. tells citizens they can’t protest islam. It might piss them off. But it is ok to piss on the Flag. On MY religious beliefs. On the Constitution.

Soldiers are trained to kill. Their mission in foreign lands is to kill the enemy.

islam is the enemy. moslems are the ENEMY.

Just think of the conflicts and controversy that would simply disappear without islam in the world.

People say “We are not like that” “That’s not what we’re here for” “We would be the savages”

Sure, yeah, RIGHT. Shut up. You have no right to protest being probed, groped, investigated, indicted, prosecuted, IMPRISONED.

Wipe islam in all its form(s) from the face of the planet and excise it’s name from the memory of mankind forever.

It is the ONLY way.

(My use of “islam and “moslem” instead of “Islam” and “Muslim” is intentional. They DO NOT deserve even that much respect)
