Alleged Gunman Paralyzed

Witnesses to Thursday's massacre at Fort Hood said alleged shooter Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan appeared calm and shouted "Allahu Akbar!" before opening fire at a crowd of young soldiers, pausing only to reload before he was taken down by a female officer who is being hailed as a hero.

SNIP... The massacre ended when Hasan was shot several times by a civilian security guard. Hasan survived the shootout, but ABC News has learned that he has been left paralyzed by his injuries.

SNIP....

Cone said wounded first responder Sgt. Kimberly Munley, who exchanged gunfire with Hasan and managed to shoot him four times despite being shot herself, put a stop to the carnage with her quick thinking and willingness to go head-to-head with the gun-wielding officer.

"She was quite effective, one of our most impressive young policemen," Cone said. "She walked up and basically engaged him. I think, certainly, this could've been far worse."

Cone said Munley spent Thursday night calling her fellow co-workers from her hospital bed to make sure everyone was OK.

This toord won’t have to worry about being paralyzed for too long. Wonder what happens when they hang you while you’re in a wheelchair?

Paralyzed?

I guess he won't kick as much when he hits the end of the rope.

Alleged? This is carrying political correctness to the extreme.

Too damn bad /sarc. Does the Army still hang people? How would you go about hanging a paralyzed man?

Prayers, thanks, and congratulations to the honorable Sgt. Kiberly Munley!

Last sentence of article is interesting:

“Hasan, who was reportedly upset about an upcoming deployment to Iraq, had been disciplined in the past for preaching to his patients about his Muslim faith.”

So they knew. They knew he was insanely devoted to Islam.

This is not the ending he would have wanted. He was fully expecting to be killed. Instead, he was paralyzed by a girl.

If indeed this report is true and not yet another rumor coming out of this terrible incident...it's fine.

When this islamic muslim dirtbag is hung, he'll drop straight and true...that is a good thing.

I heard some "talking head" on FOX this AM saying that he hoped the creep would be tried in the civilian court system! I almost choked on my coffee.

This is an individual in the active military who shot and killed active duty military members (and perhaps others) on a military post/base.

And this idiot suggests he be tried as a "civilian"????

What a maroooon!

Nope...UCMJ...judgement....execution (preferably by firing squad).

It's that simple.

#####

Political correctness extended to all but white, Christian males:

Journalism 101

A foundational pillar of the “profession” of losers.

Yes, he was shot by a woman. A brave American woman. I hope that bothers him all the way to his grave.

The son of a bitch was already mentally paralyzed by a barbaric medieval death cult. Hopefully the physical paralysis starts at the neck.

He might also have severe brain damage - although we've been told he was shot four times, we don't the extent and nature, nor the location of his wounds.If he has head wounds, he may never come out of his coma.
