| DEATH SENTENCE FOR Maj. NIDAL HASAN | ||
| 2013-08-29 | ||
The same jurors who convicted Maj. Nidal Hasan last week had just two options: either agree unanimously that Hasan should die or watch the 42-year-old get an automatic sentence of life in prison with no chance of parole. Hasan could become the first American soldier executed in more than half a century. But because the military justice system requires a lengthy appeals process, years or even decades could pass before he is put to death.

| #24 would be a shame if the meds for Nidal Hasan was mixed up with the meds for Bradley/Chelsey Manning while he is waiting three decades for his sentence to be appealed, reajudicated, etc |

| #23 We really should ask Muslims if they consider this man to be part of and representitive of their religion. If they say no they should have no complaints if he's killed by being overfed pork products. If they say yes they should explain why we shouldn't hold Islam accountable for the many acts of like-minded psychos. |

| #22 Agreed. Besides, for medical it tends to be more of a paygrade than an actual rank. |

| #21 In defense of historical reminders GB, I respectfully disagree. I think he should retain the title [less pay], as a tribute and reminder of the feckless, fok'n PC, egalitarian, pro-mooslim, affirmative action HELL that the Army and DoD has become ! |

| #20 Please remove his rank from his name. He is and has always been undeserving of that title. |

| #17 Once upon a time, before 9-11 + OWG + when Amerika was still America, HASAN had opportunities to ask me as an Afghan War cohort of Osama/OBL to join his cause - BUT, HE LIKE OSAMA/USAMA DID NOT. The rest, as they say, is Maha-Rushian histoire'. |

| #15 I agree that he will NOT actually be put to death |

| #14 He had no defense. Had no defense witnesses. Did not take stand and did not address the jury during the penalty phase. . And why did the government take so long to prosecute a case that clearly has no defense? I agree that he will actually be put to death. Some group of lawyers will have boats named 'Hassan the work place violence case' with all the appeals billing. |

| #13 If I thought he'd be honest (which I don't), it would be interesting to execute him in a way that's reversible, make sure he's really dead, then revive him and ask him what he saw. If he were honest, I'm betting the answer wouldn't be "virgins" and "Heaven." Enjoy eternity in HELL with your buddies bin Laden, Saddam, et al., asshole. |

| #12 What was that old Indian method that I seem to remember? Sew him into a wet pig skin and let it dry in the desert? |

| #11 Let the appeals begin. |

| #9 they need to play this mantra for Hasan to hear over and over and paint it on his wall until he's put to death; "He is not giving his life. We are taking his life. This is not his gift to God, it's his debt to society. He will not now and will not ever be a martyr." - Lead prosecutor, Col. Mike Mulligan |

| #6 I'm fine with him becoming a "martyr" - that would mean he's dead. |
| Posted by: Spot 2013-08-28 15:59 |
| #5 Put him in with the general prison population and see what happens; here today gone tomorrow. |

| #3 it won't happen quick. By the time his appeals are over nobody will allen snackbar over his dead body |

| #2 Normally I would agree. In Hasan's case, he should get life without parole. He wants to be a "martyr". |
