Breaking: Mass Shooting at Ft. Hood in Texas ... 7 confirmed dead

[Dr.Traveler]

No matter the situation, this is sad. I need to check in on someone we know at Fort Hood. Truly heinous.

No matter why or who did this, pray for the families of the dead and dying.

One of the great annoyances of having media available 24/7, and as news breaks, is all the innuendo and half-arsed suppositions that get made. How about waiting a couple of days until the info comes out before making any conclusions?

this is a message board, it's what we do, discuss the news, and make wild assed guesses as to who what and why, it's a way to deal with the shock.

What is nauseating is the lengths to which people will go to try to pin this sort of behavior on the Army rather than on the person who did it.

The media is already spinning it, and I see ppl on here doing it as well.

I wonder why the FBI made a VERY early pronouncement that this was not a terrorist related event?

The FIBBIES are gonna look rather foolish if it shortly turns out to have been very much an attack based on some deranged notion of Islamism, particularly in light of the fact that there were evidently at least three people involved in this tragic incident.

I think it's a shame that, before the US Army has actually confirmed the name, the less responsible media are putting it out anyway. Whatever your thoughts on the shooter (and as someone with friends and loved ones in the Army I am among them) this guy has family who may not be aware.

Fucking media.

People keep telling me that Islam is a religion of peace. I truly have to question that, I never see any Islam leader or mullah speak out against the atrocities that we all see them commit.

I have never been prejudice a day in my life until 9-11, now anytime I see a muslim I watch every move that they make. I do not trust them and doubt that I ever will.

According to what I've just heard on Hardball with Chris Matthews, the guy was protesting being deployed to Iraq.

Bad form Mal. It's not the time or the place for such half assed "comment"

Yes but as a Major he surely knew his chain of command and his options.

What did he think was going to happen to him if he joined the Army?

 

[AllieBaba]

Crap. "Don't send soldiers to war or they'll go nuts!"

 

[AllieBaba]

PS, he had other people working with him.Unlikely a protest.

 

[Dr Grump]

Fucking media.

Just the way it is....

Me too, it truly is nauseating. PC is and has been destroying this nation for some time now. Are Muslims a protected class since 9-11? Sure they are

The guy was a convert to Islam, which by the way makes him a muslim

Does terrorism by any other name make it a lesser terror act? they are called to strike fear into the hearts of the infidel. I do not fear calling a spade a spade.

This is terrorism plain and simple, this is jihad in our own back yard and people are afraid to call it what it is? WHY? I ask

I am disgusted and heartbroken. To know people who are Soldiers and Marines, they know the truth, why don't we?

They do not hate on Muslims or the religion, but they are aware more than most of what the heart of the matter is. There are jihadists that indeed kill for allah.

It wasn't a protest, it was a terrorist attack.

The thing that annoys me most when this shit happens is that instead of responsible journalism, we get a bunch of half assed "journalists" guessing about the 'why', speculating about stuff without regard for people who may be hurt by it.

Interestingly, the last of the media to run the name? Those irresponsible rightwing whackjobs at Faux News. They chose to wait until they got the name directly from the Army.

CNN just said that this guy was a mental health professional ....

I just heard Shepard Smith refuse to run with it, turn to Mr. Ed. and the name is all over the place.

what are they saying about the other two?

 

[rightwinger]

All they are saying now is that the guy was pissed off about being redeployed to Iraq.

It may have nothing to do with his religious beliefs. We will have to wait and see
