It's doubtful he'd even get medicated for his mental problem, when legally he is responsible for tampering with a dead body.

Hopefully, the police will try the usual…

By reading more into that bow, the naysayers just make themselves look bad, for politicizing the situation.…

Here are the facts so far:

The shooter was dressed in army gear like an officer.

He used two handguns any civilian can get easily in Texas, legally.

IMHO I still insist alienation & fear motivated Hasan more so than Islam did.

as a child i had chicken pox, and one scar on my belly near the belly button.

alienation and fear are two motivating factors in this case.

he had to listen to a lot of war vet stories as part of his job as army psychiatrist, and appeared to dread being deployed.

also, there have been incidents of confrontation and harassment of Hasan due to differing opinions…

When totally abandoned by their elders, a shame-based youth culture will either become self-centred out of "rebellion" or worse, hide away from the world.
