A military appeals court placed the trial for accused Fort Hood shooter Maj. Nidal Hasan on hold indefinitely Friday amid continuing issues surrounding Hasans refusal to shave his beard, CNN reported.
The court martial was first halted Wednesday so the appeals court could consider the Army psychiatrists 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.
Hasans 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.
Beard be damned. Try him and move on with the execution. There are millions of people who wear beards. A beard is NOT the man, only a symbol of a bad shave.
What difference does it make if he has a beard? He’s guilty. Too bad he wasn’t taken out at the scene.
If the trial is indefinitely postponed just because of a stinking beard, he will NEVER go to trial. There will be one loophole after another after another.
Easy...use a straight razor and when you get to the part near the carotid artery.....ooopsie!
Try him with the beard I dont give a crap.
Apparently they can’t, or they would be doing it.
"These folks make an excellent shaving system."
OK, since everybody is scared of his religious beard, don’t cut his beard, cut his head.
Faux problem solved.
It’s amazing to see just how far political correctness has come!
The military is stymied by a person who won’t shave! What’s next? They can’t make a muzzie use toilet paper!
I’d take a bottle and label it “Beard Shampoo” and fill it with Nair hair removal. After Hussein uses his new product ‘Voila’ beard gone. Trial on.
Use that to shave his head. Make sure the chain is lubricated with bacon grease.
‘If soetoro had a son....’
The only reason they can’t try him is because of the current law. The only reason this terrorist grew a beard was because of the law. If the lawyer told his client to grow the beard to delay the trial, can’t the lawyer be charged with contempt?
I would go ahead with the trial anyway. What is more important? Is he being clean shaven more important than a trial for mass murder? They have lost perspective here.
As I recall, this POS is paralyzed, restrain what is left functional, shave him, try him, shoot him, dump the body at sea with lots of weights.
Better yet, just shoot him and feed what is left to the hogs.
DONE.
This whole affair and the repetitive loss of our soldiers to Afghan traitors, sneaks and dogs is insane.

I am reminded of the favorite exclamatory phrase on “Swamp People”, a Discovery Channel Program about Cajun alligator hunters:
“Choot ‘em, choot ‘em!”
Don't think for a second Muzzies all over the world don't see it and are laughing their heads off at the cowardly infidels and cheering their killers onward!
Political Correctness is surely the death of us.
