Ft Hood Shooter

From the BBC:
"Nidal Hasan gets death penalty for Fort Hood rampage"

A military jury has sentenced a former US Army psychiatrist to die by lethal injection for killing 13 soldiers and wounding 32 at a Texas Army base. Maj Nidal Hasan, 42, was convicted last week of the November 2009 shooting rampage at Fort Hood. The defendant had tried to admit his guilt but military law bans guilty pleas in death penalty cases. The Virginia-born Muslim said he opened fire to protect Taliban insurgents from troops about to deploy to Afghanistan.  The jury handed down its sentence after two hours of deliberations on Wednesday. But it could be years, possibly decades, before Maj Hasan is executed because of the long appeals process in the military justice system. His execution must eventually be authorised by the president.

^ Good riddance to pure trash. People who join the military since 1973 (when it became all-volunteer) have no excuse to being deployed. No one forced them to join. They may not agree with a battle or war, but they signed-up knowing they could fight - hence the military part. This guy is a disgusting example of what an American soldier is not and I hope they fry him. ^
