#1 why in the hell did it take over an hour for the other guards too help this fellow? I know there are procedures in prisons for situations like this but there is a time when deadly force can also be used and this sounds like a good one.

#2 Good question, Chris. I've seen some videos of a prison riot before and wondered the same thing. I have no idea why guards don't grab shotguns and storm in, shooting anyone who's not in their cell. But they don't. It seems like the standard procedure is for the authorities to just sit back and watch the horror unfold. I really don't understand it.

#3 Teargas works fine, small amounts will do it.

You must first understand diversity and affirmative action and 'group think' Scooter.

As evidence, I give a statement made by the Army's top officer just last week:

General George Casey, the Armys top officer, is concerned that diversity will become a casualty of the Fort Hood tragedy.

The religious beliefs of suspect Major Nidal Malik Hasan, a Muslim Army psychiatrist, have led to speculation about motive in the shooting rampage that killed 13 people.

Im concerned that this increased speculation could cause a backlash against some of our Muslim soldiers. And Ive asked our Army leaders to be on the lookout for that, said General Casey.

Asked on NBCs Meet the Press whether Muslim soldiers are conflicted in fighting wars in Muslim countries like Afghanistan and Iraq, Casey said: I think thats something that we have to look at on an individual basis. But I think we as an Army have to be broad enough to bring in people from all walks of life.

The bottom line is the military benefits from diversity, he said.

Our diversity, not only in our Army, but in our country, is a strength. And as horrific as this tragedy was, if our diversity becomes a casualty, I think thats worse, Casey said
