Shep Smith just reporting that the scumbag will be tried in military court
I was hoping they’d hand him over to Texas. We know what to do with him.
Has anyone heard if he was wearing body armor?
Hopefully, he’ll then be “charged” with about 2450 volts in a military chair
Do they still use firing squads?
doubt it..heard he got shot in the torso.
I was kinda thinking that this was good news. Do you think otherwise?
General Casey will probably want him released and back in the Army...You know, Casey is big on keeping the Army’s Diversity!
He would be better in Federal court. This means they are not using terrorism charges!
Did Obama weigh in on this?
I really don’t know. I remember reading early on that there are only certain circumstances where the military will execute. I don’t know if he qualifies. Maybe somebody else has the answer.
“Hopefully, he’ll then be “charged” with about 2450 volts in a military chair”
Nope after his conviction (and since a military jury is composed of sentient human beings - completely unlike a Massachusetts jury) he’ll be convicted.
It’s the firing squad. (Actually, I’d rather see him sent to prison with lots of showers where he can bend over and experience the full Mohammadism......)
Do they still use firing squads?

Perhaps its different with military cases, but generally speaking the federal government uses the method of the state where the sentence is executed.
Won’t zero need to okay the scum’s execution?
If so...
will that ever happen?
If they were going to add “terrorism” charges, they would have to go Federal court. Who decided this?
“DIVERSE ARMIES” lose wars.
I am so sick of the “diversity is our strength”. Bullcrap. It makes us weaker.
charged for what...disturbing the Army’s diversity plan?
Can the president or Dept of Justice interfer with the trial in any way
Bastard doesn’t deserve a firing squad.
Build a gallows.
Unless Rahmbo visits him in the hospital with a bouquet of flowers a la the Godfather....the Army wants to keep their horrendous series of errors quiet. They will play it out as Stress, yet kill him.
The Admin sure doesn’t want a Book deal coming from this POS.
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.
My understanding is that military infractions are covered by a military tribunal. If terrorism charges are added, then the Federal government takes the case over ... it supercedes the military.
I'd trust Texas. I'm trying to figure out (and I can't believe I'm saying this) whether we can trust the military bureaucracy to handle this traitor *as* a traitor who shed blood on our own soil.
This is a sad discussion, isn't it?
Diversity is Racism.
Actually, a public beheading would be appropriate.
Since the muzzies like Sharia law, maybe he should get a taste of it.
Good.
It's political. Obama does not want people to think that a major terrorist attack on American soil happened on his watch.
*ping*
He’s sitting on death row at Fort Leavenworth.
