UPDATE: AP 12:46 pm Eastern

FORT HOOD, Texas – The Army psychiatrist suspected of going on a shooting rampage at Fort Hood recently asked for advice on what he should tell fellow soldiers concerned about fighting Muslims in Iraq or Afghanistan, a local Muslim leader said Saturday.
But during their second conversation, Hasan seemed almost incoherent, Danquah said.
"But what if a person gets in and feels that it's just not right?" Danquah recalled Hasan asking him.

"I told him, `There's something wrong with you,'" Danquah told The Associated Press during an interview at Fort Hood on Saturday. "I didn't get the feeling he was talking for himself, but something just didn't seem right."

But Danquah was sufficiently troubled that he recommended the center reject Hasan's request to become a lay Muslim leader at Fort Hood.

"He told (them) that as a Muslim committed to his prayers he was discriminated against and not treated as is fitting for an officer and American," said Mohammed Malik Hasan, 24, a cousin, told the AP from his home on the outskirts of Ramallah, a Palestinian city north of Jerusalem. "He hired a lawyer to get him a discharge."

    • He joined the military and once in the ownership of the service you don't get to pick your battles; you follow orders.
      Sounds like Court Marshal followed by (a blindfold optional) the firing squad.
      I thought Islam was non-violent!

    • It's getting harder by the minute to say he just "snapped": Fort Hood jihadist linked to 9/11 jihadists. But never fear, the mainstream media will keep looking for a motive!

      ''Fort Hood shooting: Texas army killer linked to September 11 terrorists," by Philip Sherwell and Alex Spillius for the Telegraph, November 7:

      Major Nidal Malik Hasan worshipped at a mosque led by a radical imam said to be a "spiritual adviser" to three of the hijackers who attacked America on Sept 11, 2001.

      Hasan, the sole suspect in the massacre of 13 fellow US soldiers in Texas, attended the controversial Dar al-Hijrah mosque in Great Falls, Virginia, in 2001 at the same time as two of the September 11 terrorists, The Sunday Telegraph has learnt. His mother's funeral was held there in May that year.

      The preacher at the time was Anwar al-Awlaki, an American-born Yemeni scholar who was banned from addressing a meeting in London by video link in August because he is accused of supporting attacks on British troops and backing terrorist organisations.

      Hasan's eyes "lit up" when he mentioned his deep respect for al-Awlaki's teachings, according to a fellow Muslim officer at the Fort Hood base in Texas, the scene of Thursday's horrific shooting spree.

      As investigators look at Hasan's motives and mindset, his attendance at the mosque could be an important piece of the jigsaw. Al-Awlaki moved to Dar al-Hijrah as imam in January, 2001, from the west coast, and three months later the September 11 hijackers Nawaf al-Hamzi and Hani Hanjour began attending his services. A third hijacker attended his services in California.

      Hasan was praying at Dar al-Hijrah at about the same time, and the FBI will now want to investigate whether he met the two terrorists.

      Charles Allen, a former under-secretary for intelligence at the Department of Homeland Security, has described al-Awlaki, who now lives in Yemen, as an "al-Qaeda supporter, and former spiritual leader to three of the September 11 hijackers... who targets US Muslims with radical online lectures encouraging terrorist attacks from his new home in Yemen"....

    • and what exactly is the definition of "Islamic extremist terrorist?", or, for the brain trust who keeps posting about the white guy all the way back in 1994 cause he can't find anything sooner with his skills, a "Christian fundamentalist extremist," or like the guy who killed Rabin a "Jewish fundamentalist extremist."
      WHAT IS THAT?
      Someone who is brainwashed (due to his mental weakness) to commit an act of terror or support and act of terror based upon religious beliefs and experiences with other races that left them thinking that theirs had a right to destroy all others.
      This guy fits the bill if you ask me.
      By the way, he never saw combat from what I understand so PTSD is bullshit. I had people draw swastikas on my shit as a kid and I never shot them up.
      He was a radical asshole and he and his Imam should fry. His Imam for not telling him that murder is a bad way to represent your faith.

    • uhhh, with warrant-less wiretapping and all of the other tools in the bag of goodies the government has given itself to prevent terrorism, does it not seem a bit odd that "They had not determined for certain whether Hasan is the author of the posting" comparing suicide bombers to soldiers throwing their bodies on a grenade? I mean the guy was in the army, that translates to you are the property of the US government. If they couldn't determine one of their own was the author of the posting, just what are they doing with all of our rights to privacy that were confiscated after 9-11?

    • I am so disgusted by this PTSD/we are all bigots argument. This asshole was never deployed. He had a chance to help fellow Muslims in Iraq, and instead he shamed his whole people. If he was white we'd be ashamed of crackers too. He was a radical with no imagination for good, only evil. He was given a new homeland where he was free to be as persecuted as any Jew in Hebron who gets vandalised by Muslims. He was an ungrateful piece of educated shit, like a lot of entitled liberals are becoming today. Before you lay down your life in the name of his "religious freedom," remember, non-Muslims have no equality or freedom in the Muslim world.

    • A former US service member who snapped....

      To Whom it May Concern

      I Guess you're wondering why I did this. Well, let me explain in detail.

      Over the years I've had some good jobs, but I always got layed off. Now I'm 58 years old and I can't get a decent job. I'm told I'm "overqualified" which is a code word for "too damned old" Like I'm expected to age gracefully into poverty. No thanks! I'm done!

      I've always wondered why I was put on the earth. For years I thought I was put here to dies as cannon fodder in VietNam but somehow cheated the devil out of it. Lately I've been felling helpless in our war on Terrorizm, But I realized I could engage the terrorists allies here in America. The best allies they've got.

      The Democrates! The democrates have done everything they can do tie our hands in this War on Terror. They're all a bunch of traitors. They want America to loose this war for reasons I can not understand. It makes me sooo mad!

      In a parallel train of thought; it saddens me to think back on all the bad things that Liberalism has done to this Country. The worst problem America faces today is liberalism. They have dumbed down education, they have defined deviancy down. Liberals have attacked every major institution that made America great. From the Boy Scouts to the military; from education to religion. The major news outlets have become the propaganda arm of the Democrat party. Liberals are evil, they embrace the tenets of Kak Marx, they're Marxist, socialist, communists.

      The Unitarian Universalist Church

      Don't let the word Church mislead you. This isn't a church, it's a cult. They don't even believe in God. The worship the God of Secularizm. These sick people aren't Liberals, they're Ultra-Liberals. This is a collection of sicko's, wierdo's, and homo's. The UU Church is the fountainhead, the veritable wellspring of Anti-american organizations like Moveon.org, Code Pink, and other un-American groups.

      Those people are absolute hypocrits. They embrace every pervert that comes down the pike, but if they find out your a conservative, they absolutely hate you. I know, I experienced it.

      I can't for the life of me understand why these people would embrace Marxism like they do.

      I'd like someone to do an expose on this church, it's a den of un-American vipers. They call themselves "progressive" How is a white woman having an niger baby progress? How is a man sticking his dick up another man's ass progress? It's an abomination

      It takes a warped mind to hate America.

      It makes me so angry! I can't live with it any more! Then environmental nuts have to be stopped.

      (cont)
      Know This If Nothing Else

      I: This was a hate crime
      I hate the damn left-wing liberals. There is a vast left-wing conspiracy in this country and these liberals are working together to attack every decent and honorable institution in the nation, trying to turn this country into a communist state. Shame on them.

      II This was a Political Protest
      I'm protesting the liberal Supreme Court Justices for give the terrorists at GITMO constitutional rights. I'm protesting the major news outlets, ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, PBS for being the propaganda wing of the Democrat Party. It's criminal what they're getting away with. They're traitors. They must be stopped. I'm protesting the DNC running such a radical leftist candidate. Osama Hussein OBama, yo mama. No experience, no brains, a joke. Dangerous to America. Hell, he looks like Curious George!

      III This was as Symbolic Killing:
      Who I wanted to kill was every Democrat in the Senate, and house, the 100 people in Bernard Goldberg's book. I'd like to kill everyone in the Mainstream Media. But I knew these people were inaccessible to me. I couldn't get to the generals and high ranking officers of the Marxist movement so I went after the foot soldiers, the chickenshit liberals that vote in these traitorous people. Some one had to get the ball rolling, I volunteered. I hope others do the same. It’s the only way we can rid America of this cancer, this pestilence!

      In Conclusion:

      No one gets out of this world alive so I've chosen to skip the bad years of poverty. I know my life is going downhill fast from here. The future looks bleak. I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired. I'm absolutely fed up.

      So I thought I'd do something good for this Country . Kill Democrats until the cops kill me. If decent patriotic Americans could vote 3 times in every election we couldn't stem this tide of liberalism that's destroying America.

      Liberals are a pest like termites. Millions of them. Each little bite contributes to the downfall of this great nation. The only way we can rid ourselves of this evil is kill them in the streets. Kill them where they gather.

      I'd like to encourage other like minded people to do what I've done. If life ain't worth living anymore, don't just kill yourself. Do something for your country before you go. Go kill Liberals!
      Tell the cop that killed me that I said "Thanks, I needed that!"

      I have no next of kin, no living relatives, If you would take my sorry carcass to the body farm, or donate it to science, or just throw me in the Tennessee River.

      Sincerely,
      Jim David Adkisson

    • Deb every religion sucks in it's own way, but this one in particular and this region where he comes from is so radicalised that human life means nothing to tem, even of their own sons. Pointing out radical flaws in the reliogious beliefs of someone who killed 13 people is not wrong, it's just studious and accurate. He did not do this because he loved life. He did it because he loved death for glory. A symptom of radical Islam.

    • We've all heard, ad nauseum, the name of Maj. Nidal Hassan, that poor misunderstood victim of vicarious PTSD and verbal abuse who finally snapped.

      Now, can anyone tell me the names of any one of those he murdered or severely wounded, or tell me about the real PTSD the several hundred in their respective families have been propelled into?

    • UPDATE: AP 5:54 PM Eastern

      FORT HOOD, Texas – As if going off to war, Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan cleaned out his apartment, gave leftover frozen broccoli to one neighbor and called another to thank him for his friendship — common courtesies and routines of the departing soldier. Instead, authorities say, he went on the killing spree that left 13 people at Fort Hood, Texas, dead.

      Investigators examined Hasan's computer, his home and his garbage Friday to learn what motivated the suspect, who lay in a coma, shot four times in the frantic bloodletting that also wounded 30. Hospital officials said some of the wounded had extremely serious injuries and might not survive.

      The 39-year-old Army psychiatrist emerged as a study in contradictions: a polite man who stewed with discontent, a counselor who needed to be counseled himself, a professional healer now suspected of cutting down the fellow soldiers he was sworn to help.

      Relatives said he felt harassed because of his Muslim faith but did not embrace extremism. Others were not so sure. A recent classmate said Hasan once gave a jarring presentation to students in which he argued the war on terrorism was a war against Islam, and "made himself a lightning rod for things" when he felt his religious beliefs were challenged.

    • Original post:

      WASHINGTON – His name appears on radical Internet postings. A fellow officer says he fought his deployment to Iraq and argued with soldiers who supported U.S. wars. He required counseling as a medical student because of problems with patients.
      While an intern at Walter Reed, Hasan had some "difficulties" that required counseling and extra supervision, said Dr. Thomas Grieger, who was the training director at the time.
      At least six months ago, Hasan came to the attention of law enforcement officials because of Internet postings about suicide bombings and other threats, including posts that equated suicide bombers to soldiers who throw themselves on a grenade to save the lives of their comrades.
      They had not determined for certain whether Hasan is the author of the posting, and a formal investigation had not been opened before the shooting, said law enforcement officials who spoke on condition of anonymity because they are not authorized to discuss the case.

      Why not just really boost protections of our own country and borders. ANd conduct a very rigourous intellilegence campaign with other countries to locate Jihadists. Other countries have been harmed too and want to catch them.

      Being in Afghanistan and Iraq is a waste of life and treasure.We need to spend our energy preventing the ones who may be here from doing more harm. I know that not all Muslims are a threat, but I would support a temporary moratorium on their coming to the USA. I know most people don't agree with this.

    • There are going to be more incidents of this sort in the future, just as there have been numerous instances already.
      One third of the US military's fighting force is now believed to suffer from PTSD, for one thing.
      I am not suggesting that that is the case in this instance since I know little yet, but it's pertinent to the larger issue of service members snapping and committing similar acts, with or without and any Muslim connections.

      What's more, military culture is neither a healthy environment for Muslims, women, gays nor anyone who is ill.

      I have been told by service members in the past that, in military culture, PTSD is mocked and the prevailing joke is that stands for 'Probably Trying to Screw the Department'.
      What's more, the suicide rate in the military has now officially surpassed that of the general population of the US.

      The other issue at the heart of this sleeping giant the very length of this broader war in the Middle East.
      The military is under enormous strain as is society overall.

      The writing is on the wall. It's past time to wind down these wars.

      Ralph Peters gets it right in our world of mass psychosis and denial.

      From the NY Times editorial:
      "...There were reports that some soldiers said they had heard him shout “God is Great” in Arabic before he started firing. But until investigations are complete, no one can begin to imagine what could possibly have motivated this latest appalling rampage."

      This is like a Monty Python sketch---it's almost unfathomable that this view is so prevalent amongst the elites. Try to imagine that, if in 1943, a German-American US soldier named Hans Groebbler had suddenly pulled out a pistol and started shooting his fellow soldiers at Fort Hood, while yelling "Heil Hitler!" and "Deutchland Uber Alles!" Do you really think anyone would have puzzled over his motive? The problem is that the leftist elites today can no longer even comprehend that everyone in the world isn't naturally a leftist. They can't comprehend that millions of people who are educated, not impoverished and not abused, will freely choose traditional Islam over the liberal West. They won't deal with reality, and it puts us all in great danger.

    • Born in Virginia, sent to medical school by the U.S. Army, the psychiatrist was disciplined for proselytizing to his patients about Islam. Asked his nationality, he didn't identify himself as an American but as a Palestinian. He spoke approvingly of the shooting death of a Little Rock Army recruiter in June and reportedly was heard saying "maybe people should strap bombs on themselves and go to Times Square." He screamed allah akbar before he mowed down scores of patriotic Americans and gave away Qurans with his business card before his act of jihad. He gave his landlord two weeks notice ............

      And Obama says don't jump to conclusions on shooting.

      God save America.

      In the meantime, here's a BBC caption; ''The shooting has hit Muslim soldiers at Ford Hood hard''. Unbelievable. This is how evil the BBC has become.

I think that nobody should be judging all Muslims for a somethat have made mistakes. I think it wrong and we have killed alot of them and they should hate us. But, as for blaming all Muslims for this incident is ridicolous and dead wrong. He was a sick and sad person with issues. Nobody should be held responsible except for him alone. I pray for the families and support their recovery! God Bless you all!

      AP: "Anti-Muslim Backlash Immediate" -- but offers not even one example

      Zowie! AP says that there has been "immediate" anti-Muslim "backlash" following the mass murders by an Islamic jihadist at Fort Hood! Good gravy, what happened? Did armed bands of furious Islamophobes throw molotov cocktails at mosques? Did ferocious white supremacists maul fragile little girls in hijabs on their way to school? Did angry bigots spit at pious imams quietly going about their business?

      Has there been any report of any innocent, random Muslim being attacked in a "backlash" after the Fort Hood jihad?

      Nope. Not one. Americans are decent people. Americans believe people are innocent until proven guilty. But Ibrahim Hooper and his fellow thugs at CAIR need hate crimes so that they can claim victim status for Muslims and deflect attention away from such small matters as the jihad at Fort Hood, and they have the clueless and/or complicit mainstream media in their hip pocket. And so we witness the strange phenomenon of stories of Muslims fearing a backlash far outnumbering actual incidents of backlash. In fact, the score is about umpteen to zero.

      And in the AP story linked above, all we get after the promise of news of "immediate" backlash are various stories about mosques and Muslims asking for special police protection, etc. So in reality, the story should be headlined, "Muslims claim victim status in wake of Fort Hood jihad attack," or "Muslim victimhood whining immediate after Fort Hood jihad massacre," or some such.

      It is regarded by fake liberals that it is hateful to note that a guy shouting "Allahu akbar" as he gunned people down, and who gave out Korans hours before he started shooting people, and who expressed sympathy for suicide attackers, may just have been motivated by the Islamic jihad doctrine of warfare against unbelievers.

    • You know what I don't like? Lies. I saw the so called "radical" posting. It was a synopsis for a paper someone wrote where he states that labeling suicide bombers as suicidal is incorrect as they don't have the same psychological profile as a suicidal profile, and equates their frame of mind to a kamikazee pilot or a US soldier who dives on a grenade to save the other members of their troop, in that the believe that they are sacrificing for the greater good. Now suddenly because he's an Arab, ever news agency is taking 1 sentence from a paragraph and framing the man to make him seem like a terrorist rather than being like other military soldiers in the past.

      Essentially this whole situation has exposed the racist inclination of the media to paint every follower of Islam as an extremist every time they do something illegal and attempts to turn Islam into an illegitimate violent religion.

      To make matters worse, this synopsis was labeled "extremist material" and added to an FBI database months ago, which goes a long way in telling you how far down the shitter your civil liberties are these days.

      Anyway, here's that extremist comment and link:
      "There was a grenade thrown amongs a group of American soldiers. One of the soldiers, feeling that it was to late for everyone to flee jumped on the grave with the intention of saving his comrades. Indeed he saved them. He inentionally took his life (suicide) for a noble cause i.e. saving the lives of his soldier. To say that this soldier committed suicide is inappropriate. Its more appropriate to say he is a brave hero that sacrificed his life for a more noble cause. Scholars have paralled this to suicide bombers whose intention, by sacrificing their lives, is to help save Muslims by killing enemy soldiers. If one suicide bomber can kill 100 enemy soldiers because they were caught off guard that would be considered a strategic victory. Their intention is not to die because of some despair. The same can be said for the Kamikazees in Japan. They died (via crashing their planes into ships) to kill the enemies for the homeland. You can call them crazy i you want but their act was not one of suicide that is despised by Islam. So the scholars main point is that "IT SEEMS AS THOUGH YOUR INTENTION IS THE MAIN ISSUE" and Allah (SWT) knows best."

      And where did I defend him? Did I ever vindicate him of the crime? I merely stated that calling the man an Islamic extremist terrorist is COMPLETELY false. If anything, its people like you who lack critical thinking that are ruining America as you require very little reasoning to hate, and virulently deny evidence contradicting your false world view.

      War sucks, people have issues, and this guy succumbed to him. Does it make his crimes any more acceptable? No. But I'll be damned if understanding the motivation behind human actions is classified as extremist. Have fun living in your corporate oligarchy.

      This is why America is failing, because of ignorant bigots who don't know WTF they are talking about but talk plenty anyway. What about the white guys in the military that have done *exactly* the same thing? Beleive me when i tell you that there is going to be a lot more mass killings stateside as the professional killers come home and can't switch off.

    • My prayers go out to the families of the victims. There's no one else to blame but the guy who orchestrated these attacks. There's only one way to put the finger in this case. Still both sides of this argument come off as ignorant in my opinion.

    • The US Military has been asking for an outbreak like this. It is a complete disaster but should be a wakeup call to get out, we've overstayed our unwelcome and only contributed to the misery without leaving their government to its own corruption. On the other hand this tragedy should have been avoided with further supervision and perhaps discharge to prevent such conflict. These things of course cant be anticipated. I pray for those families of the victims and i pray for the sanity and recovery of hasan to address how this did not solve but create even more disaster.

      Carolyn he went to Virginia Tech in 1995 and they were having outbreaks of both Meningitis and MRSA there around that time, late 90's. Perhaps he was stricken and a personality change kicked in gear later. I've had MRSA twice. It's rough, and so is Lyme's.

      i pity you. its understandable that with all the propaganda you are fed and seek that you would believe that faith in Islam promotes death and destruction. You are mistaken, and with time, will come to know it. what part of Islam do you think drove this man and every terrorist to kill others and themselves? If your answer the moronic claim of the virgins, please dig deeper and look into it.
      Why did Islamic extremists fly planes into the "World Trade Centers" on 9-11?
      Some like yourself have convinced themselves that it due to a difference of values, and they do not like American freedoms. It is hard for me to understand how someone could settle with that explanation, that people would kill themselves and others because they do not like how others live their lives.
      You suggest banning Islam as a religion. Well since the First Amendment protects us with a freedom of/from religion, and a separation of Church and State, then the U.S. government cannot promote or support any one religion. If you truly were to seek a ban of Islam, the only fair compromise would be to ban all religions from the U.S., which i doubt you would be willing to accept. So in the mean time, how about you pick up The Quran and look for where it is that the extremists are getting their motivation to kill others and let us know what you find ;)

    • Yes there were signs here but tring to prevent this would have taken years through the red tape. Keep your eyes on the others that serve with our people.Not sending them to the war areas just have them run the corner store or the px.

      An Airman's Revenge: 5 Minutes of Terror
      The gunman who killed 4 people and wounded 23 at an Air Force hospital near here on Monday was apparently motivated by a desire for revenge against the first two people he shot, both fatally: a psychiatrist and a psychologist whose observation of him ultimately led to his discharge from the service last month.

      The gunman, who was shot to death by a military policeman while pursuing yet another would-be victim in the parking lot outside the hospital, was identified today as Dean A. Mellberg, a 20-year-old former airman from Lansing, Mich.

      Mr. Mellberg, dressed in black, was armed with a Chinese-made MAK-90 assault rifle when he arrived by taxicab Monday afternoon at the hospital, which lies just outside the wire-and-steel-protected perimeter of Fairchild Air Force Base, 10 miles west of Spokane. 'Knew Where He Was Going'

      According to a reconstruction of events offered by the authorities today, Mr. Mellberg went first to a restroom inside the hospital's annex building, where he removed the rifle from a duffel bag that he had carried with him from his motel room in Spokane. He then walked to an office shared by the psychiatrist, Maj. Thomas Brigham, 31, and the psychologist, Capt. Alan London, 40, and killed both of them with two bursts of gunfire.

      "He knew where he was going," John Goldman, a Spokane County undersheriff, said of the gunman. "He went directly to that office."

      From there, Mr. Mellberg strode down the corridors of the annex and sprayed them with round after round as panic-stricken patients and medical personnel ran for their lives. He then entered the adjoining main building of the hospital and shot up the cafeteria there.

      The indiscriminate nature of the gunfire that followed the killing of Major Brigham and Captain London was underscored when the authorities identified one of the dead as an 8-year-old girl, Christine McCaren, who was shot inside the cafeteria. In addition, the wounded included a 5-year-old girl and a 4-year-old boy, who was among the seven victims listed in critical condition today.

      After five minutes or so inside the annex and the main building, Mr. Mellberg walked out and entered the parking lot, where he killed Anita Linder, the 62-year-old wife of a retired serviceman. He then spotted a fleeing man and was chasing him around a parked car when the military police officer, patrolling on his bicycle, arrived at the scene, drew his service revolver and killed the gunman with two shots to the head. Trouble In His Past

      Military officials said today that they were still drawing together Mr. Mellberg's service records and could not yet speak in detail about the psychiatric problems that they said brought about his discharge last month. But this rough sketch of the gunman emerged, partly from what the officials were willing to confirm:

    • KILLEEN, Texas – An apartment complex manager says the man accused of opening fire at Fort Hood, Texas recently had a religious bumper sticker torn off his car.

      The manager, John Thompson, says a fellow soldier allegedly keyed Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan's car and ripped up the bumper sticker. Thompson says the soldier had been to Iraq and was upset to learn Hasan was Muslim.

      Thompson, who manages the Killeen, Texas complex where Hasan lives, says the bumper sticker read: "Allah is Love." In Arabic, Allah means God.

      A report filed on Aug. 16 with Killeen police says Hasan's car had been scratched causing $1,000 worth of damage. The report says an Army employee had been arrested. It didn't provide more details about what happened.

      Comments like this, even more than the racist comments and pro-republican comments, are what make me think there shouldn't even be comment sections on serious websites.

      You didn't even have the decency to read the first sentence of the second paragraph before lowering the world's collective IQ. What did the world do to you?

    • Sounds like spin to me. No one was sure if he actually posted that, AND it seems to me that he was just against unneeded US Militarism. I for one would not want to be deployed oversees. In the army or not.

      It is a hell of a lot easier to go AWOL than slaughter a bunch of people. I firmly believe this guy was just a loser and a loner, no different than the usual mass murderer...except he was a shrink and in the military.

      There were many red flags about the mental stability of this man.. He asked to be released from the Army;, was taking psychtophic medication, had written things on the internet that strongely suggested that he was a loose cannon. His superiors were not doing their jobs. Now they are trying a CYA act.

      The military leaders are so desperate to recruit troops and retain their existing soldiers in active service that many officers have lowered the bar. In other words, with the demand for more soldiers some of those in command positions would rather keep someone in uniform even if they may be incompetent, unstable, combat-stressed, or a danger to themselves and others.

      Maeveeo - "Yeah he looks like the type"

      ha! i didnt realize it was suddenly ok for a black man to be racist. That line i just quoted sounds something that would have come out of a crooked white cop from a few years back, (and still now in a few areas). Way to go Maeveeo.

      What if someone said something like, "With ah name like JAMAL would mean your gonna steal one day!"

      Ponder on that.

      Hey You, Bighead! Nope, not me this time. Uhm, this fellow went to Virginia Tech in 1995 eh? As I recall they were having meningitis and also MRSA breaking out down there. That might be what stretched his head so big.

      Watch for more crazies [killers] coming with VT credentials to a theatre on your street soon.

      @ Incredulous: ! I have thought the same thing several times after reading his comments in the past lol. I've heard "ebonics", but "ah" and much of his other language is mimicking old slavery colloquialisms lol. I think we have a liar in our midst....

      Other comments on this strain are accurate. The idea of a black man racially profiling is pretty ignorant. (as are AAs who discriminate against gays and others, in my opinion). I'm black by the way, if it wasn't clear from the pic.
