U.S. Army Major Nidal Hasan, charged with killing 13 people and wounding 31 in a November 2009 shooting spree at Fort Hood, will have to shave his beard, a military court has ruled.
A U.S. military court ruled on Thursday that Fort Hood shooting suspect Major Nidal Hasan must shave his beard before appearing for court martial on murder charges connected to the November, 2009 massacre.
"In front of a military panel, it is undeniable that failure to comply with Army grooming regulations would cast him in a negative light," a majority of judges on the U.S. Army Court of Criminal Appeals ruled. "The military judge has the authority to prescribe the proper uniform for trial."
Hasan, 42, argued that he has a beard because of his Muslim beliefs and requiring him to shave it would amount to religious discrimination.
Hasan faces the death penalty or life in prison without parole if convicted in the Nov. 5, 2009, attack that killed 13 people and wounded more than two dozen others at the Army post about 130 miles southwest of Dallas.
His trial has been on hold for months while the issue of his beard was adjudicated.
Hasan's attorneys also want the appeals court to overturn six contempt-of-court rulings Col. Gregory Gross issued against Hasan for having a beard at pretrial hearings this past summer, when he first showed up in court with facial hair.
Army grooming standards prohibit beards but allow for religious exceptions. Gross denied Hasan's request for such an exception. He found that Hasan's claims of religious sincerity did not outweigh prosecutor's arguments that Hasan grew the beard just before his August trial date so witnesses wouldn't be able to identify him in court.
At an Oct. 11 hearing, defense attorney Capt. Kristin McGrory said military judges have no authority to order forcible shaving. She said military regulations authorize it for inmates only for safety and health reasons.
McGrory also disputed Gross' assertion that the beard would be a disruption during Hasan's trial.
"The fact that he's wearing a beard does not materially interfere with the course of the trial," she told the panel of judges.

Please, let's hang this scumbag already!
Why do him a favor. It is his belief to be martyred for his god. I say let him rot in a 9 by 5 cell for the rest of his miserable life. Lets keep him away from those Allah given virgins for as long as possible. Also put him in a cell surrounded by born again Christians. It will be his version of hell on earth.
dry shave him first...
edandbunny
Why persecute the Christians who would be forced to tolerate him ?
Let's just go ahead make a martyr out of him and also of all the others like him ?
We are eventually going to be forced to fight them. When we do, nobody will be showing them any
mercy.
Just give a couple of aryan brotherhood prisoners some shaving cream and a straight razor and some alone time with him and they can shave him or cut his throat one or the other.
Take it off...take it ALL off...
If you have to shave him please include his skin. He might appreciate being out of his skin for a while.
Hang him, then wrap him in pig skin, and other convicted terrorists can see this, then bury his butt. He won't be a martyr, nor will he get his 72 grains of white rice. YES, white rice, not virgins, read the Koran, it says it in there, it's 72 grains of white rice.
Not one Muslim will go to visit Allah if they are wrapped in pig skin, and that is a fitting thing for those stupid camel jockeys who refuse to come into the 21st Century. Hell, most of them can't even read. Real intellegent people, right?
@lawdog
Shaving his beard is now legal (DUH) but shaving out his tongue wouldnt be, so you do have a point. I still say killing him is too easy, but this is a case that warrants the death penalty if there ever was one.
I don't know the intricate ins and outs of the Muslim belief that a man must grow a beard, but I do know that there is/were a plethora of clean shaven Muslims around. Probably the three most prominent American Muslims, Mr. Muhammad Ali, Dr. Mehmet Oz and the late Mr. Malcolm X are/were all clean shaven.
Yep. Same with Jewish people; there are plenty that don't have beards and no one would deny their Jewishness. Besides, once you've killed someone, shaving a beard is the least of your problems if there really is a god...
He is still in the military, still getting his pay. He's subject to the UCMJ and the orders of the judge...I don't believe in the death penalty, but I must admit that I wouldn't shed a tear if they execute this murderer.
"Hasan, 42, argued that he has a beard because of his Muslim beliefs and requiring him to shave it would amount to religious discrimination."
Uh, didn't his distorted view of Muslim beliefs require him to kill people, and prosecuting him for murder would amount to religious discrimination? Jacka$$...
He needs shock therapy... millions of volts at one time...
Give this muslim scum bag the same consideration he gave his victims! Dry shave this low life ignorant bastard, then hang him in front of the entire world!
He's probably thinking that the jury will consider him an active muslin and not a terrorist if he has a beard. Make a deal with him.. let hi keep his bear if he strips down to a Pamper Diaper so the court can see him as an innocent Muslin baby.
I know this will be deleted.............. BUT HERE IT IS, 3 F V C K I N G years later and he STILL has NOT gone to trail. They should have shot this low life the day it all happened. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He looks like a middle eastern criminal to me...If he is mideastern get rid of the scumbag. give him his hearts delights what they his people gave our embassador in Libya, ridd of the twoface monster I cannot bear looking at him. If he had his way he would've created great havoc in this nation ridd of him consider what he did and could of done given the opportunity.
Since he is still part of the military, he is subject to the UCMJ which requires him to shave. He had no problems shaving before he decided to kill so many. Shave him now.
@ Jeff
Why would you be deleted? I understand protecting the rights of the accused, but this is absurd. This guy was caught and shot in an act of terrorism and murder. There was no FBI sting involved to raise an argument of entrapment and it shouldnt take 3 years to determine his mental status. Justice is taking way too long in this case.
I am just wondering why, prior to shooting all of these people, Hassan did not have a beard and followed military grooming regulations why is it important now? Oh, I know. It is because if he "looks" Muslim then the brotherhood in Middle East will become outraged at the evil Americans. I think he should be found guilty and then forced to work for Armour at a bacon factory...as a taster.
Let me shoot him with a bullet dipped in pig fat, while a pig boofs him in the butt. Better yet, lets just feed him to the hogs. I know of a bunch that will scarf down on his little Muslim butt.
Interesting how the beard suddenly manifested before the commencement of the trial. Give him his few days on earth, he's in a wheel chair. I wonder if they will hang or shoot him in the wheelchair?
Hey mygirl 1,hopefully they through him down at the edge of a gator pool and tell him if he makes it to the gate he is free.and if not,i see a really good way to raise money for some really cool purposes,or throw the money back into the prison syetem,not to the warden or better conditions,but to the guards and woking people there.Such as health care and pentions,or even county schools.I know i will be a regular contributer.
What really gets to me is the continued use of 'US Army Major' when referring to this piece of filth. He may have been connected with the Army, but his actions, those of a rabid, mass murdering jihadist and terrorist, removed him from any affiiliation or association with the Army. He doesn't deserve any reference to the Army, what they should say is that the Terrorist Hasan, formerly in the US military....
well gee, its just workplace violence according to Barry, whats the big deal?
I would say sentence him to life without parole have him surrounded by the once again saved Cristian prisoners and have that 16 minute video with a video of the Koran burning, and when he does his daily prayer have him disoriented so he will be praying in the wrong direction. and on top of that have naked pictures of Rosie O'Donnell on the walls of the cell..
What religious belief is he following ? the satanic verses? He didn't have a beard when shooting the soldiers from behind is it because is not islam? He didn't have a beard when joining the army or did he. Such coward are these islamist and does not have the balls to face the price of their act. A satanic religion full of lies and cowardice. The people he killed didn't have a chance
Once again it's not a religion it's a cult, plain and simple.
Second...."Hasan, 42, argued that he has a beard because of his Muslim beliefs and requiring him to shave it would amount to religious discrimination."
It's ok to kill but don't shave??????? Send him to his maker, first class, do not pass go, do not collect 200.00 Dollars.
He should NOT be forced to shave his beard. Yet. In this country, we are innocent until proven guilty. We should take away no more rights than needed in order to protect society and prevent fleeing until the trial is completed.
The crime he is ACCUSED of should have no bearing on his treatment in this matter. When the trial concludes and he is CONVICTED, shave his face and lock-him-up/execute-him for the cowardly murders.
Why are those idiots still playing games with that scumbag?!They are making a mockery of the court system!!That low life muslim should have been killed at the scene!That is what should be done from now on.Kill the scum at the scene and this bullcrap with the idiots in the court system wont happen!It's pathetic that the criminals have more rights!!
Call it was it is!
Dr. (Major) Hasan, the Army Psychiatrist, is a Terrorist!!!---The shooting and massacre at Ft. Hood was a home-grown Terrorist Attack!
Shave his beard. Who's in Control?--He still was up until today---Put that Koran away, Hasan, you're going to spend time in jail being tortured by other prisoners, or maybe issued a Death Penalty.
Evil doer deserves an evil ending.
@Steven B: Yes, hang him already - From his beard!
I am still wondering, is he still getting on military salary (which he shouldn't be anymore) and if so, he should still follow grooming standards no matter what, but better in the military system than in the civilian sector as this would still not have been decided. Time for the victims to get their day in court and for that can't speak for themselves. 'Work place' violence..ha, give me a break, guess the afghans working w/our military should be considered as 'workplace violence' as well, as they are training w/them..give me a break!
...that failure to comply with Army grooming regulations would cast him in a negative light,"
Gee I would have thought that the act of murder would have been a little more negative. This is how fast the Army acts no wonder we are still in these wars. What are we asking them to shave first? # years have past and no closure for the families but they are subjected to this charade of a court fighting about facial hair. What justice!
He absolutely SHOULD be forced to shave, or better yet, shaved forcefully, he's in the A R M Y .......HellllloOoOooo?!?!? It's not like civilian life where we get to snivel and whine and demand accomodation for the details of our cultural norms.
When you sign the contract, you surrender your individuality and become part of a team, a team which is required to wear a uniform. A clean shaven face is part of that uniform.
Just because he's a cold blooded murderer terrorist piece of s*** does not mean he gets those rights reinstated.... the skewed perspective of elitist America hating pseudo-liberals notwithstanding.....
He should be executed, after a fair trial, of course.
If they need someone to spring the trap on the gallows I would be very pleased to have the opportunity.
Cut the beard off???????.......why stop with just the beard????........keep cutting, and use a very dull razor..
Execute that piece of human garbage already.
This guy maybe a scumbag but I don't understand the beard thing or how they justify making him shave it off. Some of our most famous Presidents have had beards, We've had Generals with beards. This is just a waste of time ! If he's guilty then he's guilty and the beard makes no difference. How many millions of dollars are wasted every year by Lawyers and judges arguing about pointless matters and issuing unnecessary court orders. It's just their ego's ! They're on a power trip ! "Lets make him shave his beard" "why" " Because we can". These morons are wasting time and our tax money to stoke their egos. Just get on with the trial, convict him, and then on to other business.
Come on Man - - its been 3 years since he murdered all these folks and wounded dozens more - - shave the rag head's beard and move forward!!!
It's been a distraction and has interfered the process for months. He shot those people while in uniform. His court martial should be while in uniform. Like I said several weeks ago, shave him on Friday and start the trial on Monday.
He is just working for a mistrial or reason for an appeal. "I was found guilty because of my beard."
Glad that this issue is done with, now on to the circus that will be the trial.
Cut his left hand off so he has to eat with the same hand he wipes his arse with, then let him rot.
Hope, yes he is still receiving his pay and benefits, his dependents are really, the second he is the tried and sentenced they will be a forfeiture of all pay and allowances. Unfortunately he is still an active duty officer until found guilty by Court Marshal, and entitled as such until found guilty.
They should remove him to GITMO with the rest of his Brothers so they can get ready for the trip down to hell together. He can Acclimatize to the heat.
Taziar: Innocent until proven guilty???!!!! If you have trouble remembering-he was shot while in the midst of his terrorist shooting rampage, it's a damn crying shame they didn't kill the low life piece of excrement.
Zuksam: As a retired Colonel from the Army Medical Corps, I can tell you that Army regulations specifically prohibit wearing a beard by any member of the Army unless they have a skin problem which is covered by a "beard profile" Let me have a chance at him, I would shave him with a rusty straight razor (and possilby take care of his bilateral carotid arteries)
Somebody has no idea what they are talking about.
The UCMJ addresses the rules of law within the military. Dress and grooming regulations address the facial hair.
Fresh recruits of all religions are shaven and their domes cut bald as a cue ball. I was and so were the 300 or so other swinging....
He's still Gov't Issue. Dress and grooming regs apply.
He didn't have civilian rights before he murdered, he shouldn't have them afterward.
Let's cut to the chase and get to the firing squad.
Funny, Hasan had no problem adhering to military grooming regulations during his years in the army prior to committing his islamic butchery. Now he wants to be a good little follower of his moon god.
I hope they shave him with a well used razor that was used to scrape paint.
Damn, who cards about the stupid beard?! He killed 13 people!!! This country is a so ffff'ed.
@ Red, it would have to be his right hand. They eat with the right, wipe with the left.
@ Grunt
If you've only got one hand left, does it make any difference? I think that's a moot point.
Shave that f..ing scumbags head and juice his a$$ up.
@Red,
That is true, but it is more of a stigma to lose the right hand.
Phillip, religion and cult is the same thing. All of them are fantastic stories that prey on human vulnerability, to say theirs is a cult and yours is some sort of true religion when it has the same silly magic stories is ludicrous. You can't claim theirs is wrong and yours right when neither are provable. As far as his beard goes, when he was arrested he was clean-shaven, so I don't want to hear about what his religion now requires of him. Besides which he was in the military, no stupidity like beards for religious purposes are allowed there.
Since obama pretty much swept aside the Constitution with the NDAA, can we just take this SOB out and shoot him?
Just hold him down and shave the beard.
What would Romney do?
Sorry folks, had to throw a politic in there.
Be safe!
Smother him in pork fat.
Linda , My thought was to shave him with a brick , but smothering with pork fat works too !
The real problem here is that his crimes are no longer labeled 'acts of terrorism' but rather, 'workplace violence.' Interesting how this administration is referring to terrorism as anything BUT terrorism. Look at Benghazi, those 'protestors' who attacked the compound weren't commiting terrorism, they were protesting.
Removing the terrorism label is attempting to reduce the severity and scope of Hasan's crimes. Shouting 'Allu Akhbar' while blasting away at unarmed soldiers isn't 'terrorism' nope, it is 'workplace violence.' Why bother to try him, he should be given probation and counseling to help with 'anger management.'
I am still confused as to why the Obama administration continues drone attacks and the war in Afghanistan, we are no longer fighting terrorists, we are doing...what, exactly?
This SoB is still in the military and subject to military rules and regulations. His beard is obviously not in conformance with those regulations. There is nothing that guarantees any religious exception to allow him to grow a beard. The court has correctly ruled that he must appear properly dressed and groomed for his court appearances. The added factor that the beard was grown in an attempt to confuse I witness identifications only adds to the justification for forcing him to shave. I almost hope that this bastard refuses to shave on his own so that the MPs can have the pleasure of holding him down and forcibly shaving him while he whines and cries like a baby about it. I just wish they would hurry up and get the trial over with so that the military can move forward with executing him. There is no way he is not going to found guilty and the only suitable punishment for what he has done is death.
They need to excute him by gun. Shoot one joint at a time, let him suffer the pain that he gave the ones he murdered. Keep him alive as long as possible.
No, lawdog. We are not the kind of animal he is. Kill him quickly and cleanly.
Yes, James, we are !
So call it a safety reason. Shave or we'll beat your ass. Problem solved.
Or skip the shaving part. Pour some rubbing alcohol on it and light it. Burn the thing off.
I like your idea Chris from Yucaipa. Burn it off. Serve him right.
lawdog, I was at Hood then. A lot of my friends were in that building getting ready to deploy to Iraq. We want him tried according to our laws, and punished accordingly.
Hell take beard and his skin off all at once.....
Why are we giving him a basis for an appeal? Let him have his stupid beard.
Why are allowing him to game the system? Let him have his stupid beard and stop wasting tax payers money by allowing him to cause delays.
There's no possible way his beard can interfere with Justice. So let him have it so he can't waste our money and he can't base his appeal on it. HIS BEARD CHANGES NOTHING.
He was not wearing a beard while on duty, what gives him the right to wear one now. He is till under military jurisdictio and must apply by the rule according to AR 611-201 (Wearing and Apperance of the Military Uniform).
Ha haha lol he wont cry moan like a baby , but growl like a Tom Cat in hot water.
Even when off duty or on leave, if you have to appear in an official capacity, you are required to conform to the uniform and grooming standards. He can stay bearded in his cell, but the moment he enters that courtroom he is appearing in an official capacity. Since his request for a religious exemption was denied, he MUST be clean shaven in that courtroom.
He joined the army and was clean shaven. He plotted and killed U.S. soldiers clean shaven. It is idiotic that he has a beard now. He needs to be clean shaven UNTIL he meets his maker.
Well, i say compromise folks, lets shave half of his face;)
"So call it a safety reason. Shave or we'll beat your ass. Problem solved."
Chris, absolutely the best application of Occam's Razor I've ever seen in my life. Not to mention that it literally brought me to tears in laughter for a good half hour after reading it.
I most certainly tip my hat to you Sir.
Military law is still death penalty? In the field he would already been dead. Irrefutable proof he is guilty.Why is it taking longer than a week?
Firing squad! Volunteers ready to carry out sentence. What more proof do you need? this is a travesty. Kill that SOB ASAP he has no defense, admitted fault, captured in act, quit playing games with justice. Common sense should be used every once in awhile.
The SOB wasn't worried about the rights of his victims to live. He slaughtered them like they were nothing. The POS is still in the military so make him act like a solder. May his soul rot in hell!
The 4kur grown beard to confuse all witnesses who saw him in action mulling down our children of the soil. rip off his marbles before he escaped with them.
Just keep Obama's DOJ out of any of this or the mf will walk on an insanity pleea.
Hey ! Get COWLEY to check the transcript of the Rose Garden speach from Sept. 12 and see if Obama included freeing this scumbag !
Go boil your head, BW. The penalty that this murderer will get will be the same no matter who is in the White House.
In what universe are you living lawdog.
No sooner he pleaded insane start shaving his hairy butt and ripping out those enlarged marbles.. The authorities should give him to me then I would give him a new make over alive.
Well, it was Obama who renamed Hasan's murder spree 'workplace violence.' Hasan jumps up and starts firing while yelling 'Allu Akhbar" and instead of it being terrorism, it is 'workplace violence.' Then, Benghazi wasn't terrorism, it was 'protesting.' Gotta love the abandoning of the words 'terrorist, terrorism, terrorist attack' and replacing them with more....progressive meaning. Newspeak. We aren't fighting a War on Terror, we are fighting....what?
With the present Administration, we are not allowed to call a spade a spade (terrorism) but instead it's "workplace violence" but these are the same morons who accuse the Romney campaign of having a war on women. WTF is that all about?
Nice try Captain. Any vet knows that civilian judical authority and military judicial authority under the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) are to two different things. When you sign your enlistment papers you sign your life over to the rules set in the UCMJ. Just because one becomes a military prisoner, it doesn't mean that person is no longer in the military. And when you are in the military, you dress the way they say you dress.....period.
And any vet should also know that commissioned officers don't sign "enlistment papers". That's most of the reason why its harder than it has to be to get a needle in this guy's arm.
My first thought was...he was clean shaven while he was in the Army, so why all of a sudden does he get to have a beard for "religious" exception???
Shave him, then hang him. Slowly.
zombtwolf I agree to hanging. but he must be stripped of his piss tube and those enlarge marbles whil'st hes eyes are still reflecting with all sanity and no pain medication. will send a message out there to his counter parts. whom hate all American for whom we are.
Shave the SOB. He didn't find it necessary to wear a beard before he was jailed. Suddenly he got religion and now claims it is his religious right to have a beard. Go ahead and execute him. He's a terrorist. He's Muslim. He killed and plotted to kill US citizens and military personnel.
Wade-2880062,His being a Muslim is not a reason to execute him.His taking of others life is the reason to execute him.
Hey just a cleaning lady,being a muslim hear in this country,is reason enough to execute him.Everyone know's there a different bread of people and dont fit in to our society,so why have the trouble.
WTF...just a cleaning lady is right...HERE in America, being a Muslim is NOT a reason to kill someone. They are NOT a different BREED of people...just like many others they are of a different religion...look up the words RADICAL and MILITANT.
Stop being so hateful.
WTF, get off your sister or the livestock and find out what this country was founded on. Become literate enough to find out what our founding fathers believed in and died for.
The cleaning lady is right. This is America, not a Muslim country. It's not the Spanish Inquisition either. We don't execute people for having other religions. His court martial is for terrorism and mass murder. They need to stop the games and get on with the trial.
It's bad enough that they allow foreigners in the U.S. Military, but they need to follow our standards if they want in so bad.
I know the "niceties" of legal jurisprudence, and shrieking leftists, insist we call Hasan a suspect. But, those of at Fort Hood that day know he is a murderer
James, most people can see he is a murderer. Your BS along with that fact makes everyone know you belong to the regressive party. So do you really know anything about anything? Except to spout drival that is.
Little Miss "morally and intellectually superior."
Since when is being smart a bad thing?
Being smart is a good thing. Looking down on others because you feel superior is not. Liberal posts are crammed full of condescending and better-than-you remarks.
It doesn't take much to be superior to 375688.
@ tired - well, if the shoe fits.... Just saying, all these Tea Party types that want to impose their religion on the entire country.... sorry, but YEAH, I am intellectually superior to them. It doesn't take a bright person to see the kind of trouble that we'd be in if those types ran the country.
I can see the legitimacy of the claim that forcing him to cut his beard is religious discrimination. There was a case recently where Amish individuals were prosecuted for cutting another Amish person's beard. In that, the US government does recognize the religious expression of a person's beard. This country is founded on religious freedom and the devout often decry the government suppressing religious expression and this is what that is.
Don't think me overly sympathetic, it is just that I like to try to be philosophically consistent to some extent. He is most certainly and deservingly going to be put to death, so let him die with his beard if he so wishes.
Sorry, this has nothing to do with his religion, religious expression or discrimination. He is still a member of the U.S. Army. No need to look for any kind of "philosophical consistency."
Greatsquare, that's all well and good, but he didn't claim his religious rights BEFORE he shot all those people. He could have gotten away with it, had he declared that when he was actively serving. To only NOW decide to grow a beard is BS.
Let's talk philosophy when they are planting him in the ground.
Not even remotely the same thing. The Amish are private citizens who were the victims of a hate crime. The POS on trial is a member of the United States military who signed on the dotted line saying he would abide by their rules and regulations. He gave up his rights to religious expression as it applies to this situation. Also, if it were merely a case of him expressing a deeply help religious ideology, why was it not of such great importance until after he committed the crime and was arrested?
this piece of crap was an officer in the Army and should know he has no right to not shave his stupid beard. a soldier shaves every morning, he is no different. if he doesn't shave he is out of uniform.
EXECUTION!!! He shouldnt recieve a burial, he should be sent to a dog food factory!!
shave the beard. the 72 virgins won t recognize him . hang him
Harold Gates
Come on man, don't poison the dogs !
The Amish case has no bearing as this scum is a military prisoner soon to be tried for mass murder. the Amish were having a religious squabble
To "thegreatsquare:" You seem to have overlooked the fact that this animal served in the military without his beard. But now that he is facing charges for his heinous acts, he gets "religion" and grows a beard. There should be plenty of time before Major Hasan's execution to grow back that beard before he meets his maker. I am so pleased to see the within military tribunals there is still some sense used. No doubt the families of the victims and the victims who survived are applauding the decision just as I am.
Uniforms mean a lot to military people - they are worn with pride. Even when I was up all night yawning and polishing brass before inspections, I still felt good the next day wearing my Class As. If Hasan wore a beard when he joined the Army, then you could say that Army had given him implied permission to continue with a beard....But that wasn't the case. He knew the rules when he joined.
yes I agree let him have his beard---cut off in a bag and lets make a nice set of pigskin shorts and pigskin hat for him to wear I think he would like that.
He is a military member, and a poor excuse for one. He has no right to his beard, period!!
Sent to a dog food factory? Are you even human?! My God that's the very essence of crewel and unusual punishment for any dog that ate the food.....
There seem to be a lot of idiots posting here who want to punish the suspect before he has been tried and convicted.
It is deeply disturbing the lynch mob mentality is alive and well, even in the 21st century.
Invisible hand. You must be a low life muslim!!
Invisible...unless I'm mistaken, people SAW what he did, so too bad if he doesn't get a "fair" trial.
model...don't be a dick...you wouldn't like it if someone put down your religion...if you have one...
Be respectful.
Why not let him grow his beard so they can hang him by it?
Dry shave him with a dull razor. i wonder how the scum defense attorneys sleep at night.
His attorneys sleep well. They are dreaming of being guests on "The View" once this is over. And let's not forget the book deals.
James
Now you know Obama is not going to let some other scumbag lawyers cut into his air time !
Too funny! But, you are absolutely correct.
Just kill the sand @!$%#!!!
I am thoroughly convinced that the time has come for the private sector to hire a very elite squad of hitters and let them rid our society of the scumbags that steal and kill innocent Americans!! Obviously our gov just wants to steal from the taxpayer for these romper room antics!!!
This guy is just a terrorist that infiltrated our military and our government refuses to see him as a terrorist because of the imbarrassment. We know from his email records that he was in contact with Al-Qaida members. As far as him not shaving, he joined the military and so remains under the UCMJ he agreed to when he joined. He should never have been permitted to grow a beard in the first place. Shave him, then shoot him!!! Or maybe we should behead him - Islam seems to be pretty big on beheadings as well as killing girls.
I say ass rape him and watch him kill himself!!!
That shows how weak this country has become!!
Feed this scum to some pigs.....alive.
Let's see. Here's a list of fun things we can do to him:
Give him laser hair removal from all over his body. Do a thorough job so it won't grow back.
Give him a sex change operation.
Cut off his right hand.
Hum there has to be other fun ways to torment him....
Drop him off naked in taliban territory with a note that says if we catch any of them then they can expect the same treatment.
Capt McGrory should be hung by her nipples.
TVAR ~~~~~~~>>> Captain McCrory is---properly---carrying out her constitutionally ordained duty. She is defending her client who, as of this point in time, is still legally innocent. If, as with Lee Harvey Oswald, he dies before conviction, he will ALWAYS be legally innocent.
Thats whats wrong with the justice system, get caught redhanded but your still innocent. BULL@!$%#, kil the piece of @!$%#!! Save the taxpayer some money.
Constitutionally "Ordained" there is no such thing. She is a soldier first, lawyer second and like every soldier sugject to the UCMJ. Civilians fail to understand this. Also, she is a Captain, most likely was comissioned as a First Lieutenant or Captain as some military skills come in at a higher grade. She's clueless (As demonstrated by her comment about the beard) about normal army standards and dress. See, the judge isn't asking him to shave or even telling him to shave, it is an Order. Again you civilians have no idea what an Order is. To disobey the lawful order is also punishable by the UCMJ, even that clueless REMF CPT should know that.
Either kill the SOB VERY VERY VERY slowly, inflicting as much pain as humanly possible OR put him in the cell with Jerry Sandusky. That would make for an interesting time
This P0S should not have lived long enough to grow a beard!
You mean the piece of @!$%#, GOAT @!$%#er??
And if he refuses to shave , what then. Will you forcibly shave him, I might consider that under the rule of law to be unreasonable and restraint, or will you just issue another order of contempt and cause the US taxpayer to fork over thousands of more dollars!! When will you gov monkeys start to understand that you are not winning anything you are losing the battle through your arrogance and ignoroance.
You, Harry, are the arrogant and ignorant one. Hasan is a member of the U.S. Army. As such he will abide by the rules and regulations set forth by the U.S. Army. You have lost the "battle." Go scribble in your manifesto until The Revolution.
Oh, excuse me , I am a veteran of many years. Kill the bastard!! Annd by the way, a revolution is very near!!
Make him a deal. Tell him if he doesn't shave his beard and if found guilty then they firing squad will be ordered to shoot his manhood off and let him bleed to death. If he is found innocent he will be discharged with an other than honorable discharge.
If he shaves and then found guilty the firing squad will be ordered to make a clean, quick kill. If he is found innocent he will be returned to duty.
I don't think we are intelegent enough to make him shave, but then I could be wrong. I have been once before.
Intelegent...LOL!!! Funny!!!
Hey, when were you wrong before?
Lawdog +++ Oh! I thought it was obvious. He was intelegent before he voted for Barry.
jefftwo, thank you for making me laugh. This stuff is too funny!
Screw this muslim POS and his civil rights. He cared nothing for the civil rights of those he murdered! I just want go get mid-evil on this turd!
Shoot this @!$%# , but make him look at every victims photo in a room for 24 hrs first. Screw Islam terrorist !! I will volunteer to pull the trigger . Veteran and proud of it.
A criminal should have no rights especially a murderer....
So right you are!!
No, allow him his rights, not not the so-called "rights" that we have been told are those of the criminal. he has a right to a fair trial, and to not be subjected to cruel and unusual punishment. Find him guilty, then execute him.
Everyone in America should have rights. We don't toss out our laws and principals simply because we get angry with someone. Show me one successful society that is based on anarchy. Hasan, as a military officer has certain rights. But inclusive with those rights are laws...which should be observed. He has a right to a speedy trial. So let's stop putting off this court martial and let justice determine his guilt/innocence.
murder suspect !!! shooting suspect !!! ... I thought me were done with the PC speak.
He is a .... Islamic Terrorist !!! Bury him up to his neck in a fire ant hill.
Remember the memorial ceremony for the failen Fort Hood Heroes ... Obama refused to Salute or put his hand over is heart ... Thank you President Obama, that's the day you lost me as a supporter !!
Funny, I am not pro death penalty but the Fire Ant Hill is perfect. He can keep his beard just bury him in a fire ant hill. He could keep his beard if commits suicide. Or if he pleads guilty and then bury him in a ant hill. I wonder if its cruel an unusual punishment if they let him keep his beard. I know the ants won't mind.
Dont forget to piss on him!!
That brings up a sore subject for the USA.
Just HOW LONG is to be dragged out? Going on THREE YEARS to get to trial? W T F ?
WHY, my fearless leaders, why?
You must ask the man that leaves his house so he doesn't have to participate in Christmas duties; doesn't give his girls Christmas presents and doesn't wear his ring or watch during Islamic holidays.
That'd be your fearless Muslim leader.
et al => => =>I don't buy your theories that President Obama is Muslim. But, IF you are right, afterall, and he is, what about the fact that he, too shaves.
Only after the deficit reaches another trillion!!
Who cares as long as the 1% are thriving?
