Your Money Defending Nidal Hasan

It is quite sad when someone who so obviously murdered 13 adults and 1 unborn child is given a reputable lawyer who is paid with public funds. Hasan has money and so does his family, yet instead they are hiring retired Col. John Galligan to defend this indefensible piece of rubbish. Now we are being bombarded with news with titles such as ‘Alleged Ft. Hood gunman Maj. Nidal Hasan paralyzed and may never walk again‘, or ‘Muslims fear backlash after Army base shooting.’ The point is this, there is a man out there who killed is comrades at an army base who where unarmed and lining up for shots or check-ups while himself being paid by the US. government and bearing the title of Major in the US Army. Galligan is asking the military commanders for money to hire an investigator, and will also have a psychiatric evaluation of Hasan.

What is the point of providing a trial for someone who is so dangerous, and what does it matter if this murderer is handicapped – didn’t he just cause 30 people to be wounded, 13 people to be dead, and one unborn child never to see light?

Another sad story is that many people saw the warning signs, and even reported Hasan to their authorities who did nothing. Months before the shooting, doctors and staff overseeing Hasan’s training at Walter Reed Medical Center characterized him as a lazy and low-performance student who often picked fights with classmates bringing up his strong religious views. According to the top Republican on the House Intelligence Committee, the US Government knew about the dozens of emails Hasan had sent and received from the same radical imam who taught some of the September 11 hijackers!

Wolf Blitzer put it eloquently when he said this: “I’m sure he will get a much fairer hearing than those 13 Americans who were brutally gunned down the other day. I’m sure he will get all of the rights that are applied by the military code of justice.” Wolf is right, he is going to get a fair trial paid for by the blood of our soldiers and the money from our citizens. Who knows, he might even get off the death penalty and be served a life sentence, but I doubt it.
