Valin Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Stars and Strioes: Megan McCloskey October 18, 2012 WASHINGTON — Victims of the Fort Hood shooting are rallying in a grassroots effort to get the rampage classified as an act of terrorism. A coalition of 160 victims and family members released a video Thursday detailing what happened at the Texas military base on Nov. 5, 2009, and why they believe it was a terror attack. In “The Truth About Fort Hood,” victims give testimonials about their experience and express their frustration at the government calling the incident “workplace violence.” (Snip) Why is this POS still breathing?

Remember one mans terrorist is another person's freedom fighter. In one culture we say Gays should not be allowed to marry, and in another they get hanged or stoned. Hard to tell the difference. In one culture poor young woman get send to bad schools, in another they get shot, no real difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valin Posted October 24, 2012 Author Share Posted October 24, 2012 New Push to Reclassify Fort Hood Shooting as Terrorism Bridget Johnson 10/23/12 Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said today that he and other colleagues in the upper chamber will lead a push to get the Pentagon to reclassify the 2009 Fort Hood shooting as terrorism. The Department of Defense infamously called the rampage that left 13 dead an act of “workplace violence.” The court-martial of Army Major Nidal Hasan was postponed indefinitely on Monday by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces over whether Hasan can keep his beard during trial proceedings. A movement was started by the Coalition of Fort Hood Heroes to ask Congress to put the heat on the Obama administration to change the classification — and make victims eligible for Purple Hearts in the process.

Valin, here is more of that conversation. Read from the bottom up. Shelley Bain @ShelleyBain @casino1 while you might get a terrorism charge to stick it would certainly be easier and more likely to not go with terrorism View conversation 22 OctShelley Bain @ShelleyBain @casino1 under that definition I would argue that it would be much easy to charge the Ft. Hood incident as not terrorism - View conversation 22 OctShelley Bain @ShelleyBain @ShelleyBain @casino1 in furtherance of political or social objectives” View conversation 22 OctShelley Bain @ShelleyBain @ShelleyBain @casino1 intimidate or coerce a government, the civilian population, or any segment thereof, View conversation 22 OctShelley Bain @ShelleyBain @casino1 Terrorism is defined in the Code of Federal Regulations as “the unlawful use of force and violence against persons or property to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valin Posted October 24, 2012 Author Share Posted October 24, 2012 @Casino67 Its not just this particular case, its the media in general can't seem to call terrorists....Terrorists.

Militants, makes it sound like they're using harsh words or something. It is just a fact of life. The lawyers have screwed up everything they touch. If the same laws were in effect during WWll, the guys that were caught trying to infiltrate and were caught in Florida(?) and executed, would still be awaiting trial today. I told Shelley that the worst thing about the death penalty was the time it took to get through all of the appeals, etc. They generally die of old age before being executed.
