A Court Martial, And Maybe A Nice Execution, For Major Hassan
So says Fox News.
This’ll irritate you. From his defense attorney…
Hasan’s lead attorney, John Galligan, had urged the commanding general not to seek the death penalty, saying such cases were more costly, time-consuming and restrictive.
If Galligan’s name doesn’t ring a bell, maybe you missed this a while back…
Galligan’s not such a bad guy, but let’s face it – if you’re talking about pinching pennies on a trial for the jihadist butcher of Ft. Hood, that’s another way of saying your case is merde.
Let’s take a poll – how many folks are cool with spending whatever it takes to fry this guy? Count me in.
Count me in too. Death by Firing Squad or Hanging. None of that easy needle stuff.
If the accused shooter was any religious/ethnic group other than Muslim, they’d already have been convicted and be sitting in Ft. Leavenworth penitentiary appealing his death sentence. As a retired Navy officer, there is no way a jury of his peers is going to render a verdict other than not guilty and a recommendation of the death penalty.
What else? There are 13 dead, 30 injured and dozens of eye witnesses. Someone thinks he is innocent and there are mitigating or extenuating circumstances? Give me a break.
Meant guilty, of course, typo error. Sorry
