#1 Yep, thats it. Major Hasan, like many locals in the Killeen, Texas area, was simply a "Self Radicalized Jihad Hobbyist." Thank you ABC News. Nothing more to see here.

I blame Texan concervatives, Guns Galore, Fort Hood Islamafooobs and the enemies of diversity.

#2 Why is a forty-something, odd, single, psychiatrist hanging out regularly with a high school senior/college freshman? Were I his parents I would be very, very concerned.

TW,
Duane is the one who should be concerned.
Hasan Was Worried About Results of Recent HIV Test

Also more ticks from Anwar al Awlaki playbook.
“44 Ways to Support Jihad”
Investigators also found that Hasan donated $20,000 to $30,000 a year to overseas Islamic "charities." As an Army major, his yearly salary, including housing and food allowances, was approximately $92,000. A number of Islamic charities have been identified by U.S. authorities as conduits to terror groups.

#4 He was commiserating with a fellow brother-in-faith TW. And, per usual, he cut off everyone who did not share and encourage his increasingly radicalized beliefs. This is SOP for cults, of course.

I'm sure when his parents questioned his newly-found faith and asked questions about it, he screamed "MOM!! YOU *JUST* DON'T UNDERSTAND!!!"

Hot pants. Perhaps he's getting his underwear from the Swedish military.

#6 IT's just a harmless 'JiHobby' until they decides to kill people. Then it's an isolated incident completely unrelated to Islam. Absolutely no connection at all. Nope.

#7 
using a pass to drive onto the Fort Hood Army base, home of the soldiers for whom he said he felt no pity.


So John Walker Lindh Duane Reasoner Jr. is in possession of a special permit that gives him access to parts of the Fort Hood installations that are off limits to the general public?

Pardon my islamophobia but why would that be a good idea from a general security point of view?

#10 #9 and #7: perhaps the car is stickered to allow access, but there shouldn't be a big deal to institute 100% ID card checks. NAS Whidbey does it all the time.
(and this is not meant to be the first shot in an Army-Navy game, BTW)
