Fort Hood shooter sentenced to death

Post by Termite »

A military court today sentenced Maj. Nidal Hasan to death for the 2009 shooting rampage at Fort Hood, giving the Army psychiatrist a path to the martyrdom he appeared to crave in the attack on unarmed fellow soldiers. The same jurors who convicted 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.

He wanted to be sentenced to death so he can be a martyr. Fair enough.

I vote for the Blackjack Pershing type. :twisted:

Why waste a bullet?

Put him on a C-130 MAC flight, and somewhere over Pakistan, at 20,000 ft., drop the ramp and give him a push.
Attach a card that says "Please bury this martyr to Allah appropriately."
If God loves him enough to send angels to cushion the landing, so be it. Otherwise he's got about 60 seconds to re-think the impact of his life choices. Or just think about the impact. Win-win.

Someone should have shot and killed him when he committed the crime. But I like Aesop's suggestion as the next best option.

I hink killing him is a great idea. Just use Pershing's preferred protocol.

BACON? NO!! Rotten, spoiled ham with a pork chest/rib cage duct-taped over his head with his head INSIDE the chest cavity (hey, we're giving the guy a HELMET) would be MUCH MORE appropriate. When someone complains about "cruel and inhumane punishment", just tell them it's actually MUCH LESS cruel and inhumane than his victims experienced - so it CAN'T be THAT BAD!!

Could we just identify 72 Virginians in Leavenworth and send them all to the yard with him for a "Welcome to Your Afterlife" party.


72 Virgins? I said VIRGINIANS!

I'm pretty sure that Bradley Manning is a virgin. Didn't he decide recently that he's a girl? That's one.
