I'm right near there, too!

dar512 · 11-05-2009, 04:39 PM

Hmm. Right next to Waco.

They're saying there's more than one shooter; or at least, a primary shooter and helpers. Who would "help" with something like that?

ZenGum · 11-05-2009, 06:52 PM

There is a strange inconsistency in the reports about how many gunmen did it.
"Twelve people have been killed and at least 31 injured after a soldier went on a shooting rampage ".
"One shooter is dead and two suspects have been apprehended".

My first guess is that the two extras were NOT involved but were in questionable circumstances and so were nabbed as a precaution; I guess that someone who would do this would not allow themselves to be taken alive.

Mind you, the (alleged) shooter was army pyschiatrist Major Malik Nadal Hasan. Hmm, sounds Irish. Can never trust the damn Irish.

Now stop that racism. Profiling is a horrible awful thing.

He was an American Psychiatrist or psychologist not sure which. They're all nuts anyway. That's why they go into that profession - to figure themselves out.

He was apparently unhappy that Obama didn't get the troops out fast enough. That's even more WTF???

Oooh. They're saying the guy's alive! So maybe we really will get some answers.

I'm kind of wondering about this statement in the news story:

Quote:

Scott & White Memorial Hospital in Temple, Texas, posted an online appeal for blood as it began receving victims. "Due to the recent events on Fort Hood, we are in URGENT need of ALL blood types," it said.

Is 30 people who need blood an overload for a typical hospital?

classicman · 11-05-2009, 09:01 PM

Perhaps not, but its a good way to get people who normally wouldn't get off their ass to help a fellow human to do just that and to build up some reserves.

3 guesses, and if any of them don't yell Allah akbar when they're murdering someone, they're wrong.

Nice, spud. Stay classy.

Cloud · 11-06-2009, 11:08 PM

the guy apparently didn't want to go to war and kill other Muslims.

so he stayed home and killed other human beings.

how does that make sense?

classicman · 11-06-2009, 11:11 PM

it doesn't unless he figured that by killing the ones he did he saved more from dying.

Cloud · 11-06-2009, 11:13 PM

well, actually I didn't expect it to make sense; I just find it ironic. It was an insane and senseless act no matter how you look at it.
