Thought.........this was too organized to be a nut case......some meds that served with him call him a good doctor.......
I'm personally leaning toward his own jahed against the infidels.......
Question.....if so, how many more sleepers?Just my own uneducated opinions.

I believe it's called the FN7, or 57 or some such. You can get them with 20 round magazines. If he had two, there's 40 rounds without having to reload. I understand he did do at least one reload, possibly two. The report I heard was he'd converted to Islam but who the heck really knows. A 5.7 MM bullet would be what, .23 caliber?
According to the news I aw, he felt that Muslims should not be killing other Muslims. Frankly, I think that's a damn good idea myself.

The reports now are saying that he had a 5.7mm semi-auto and a .357 revolver. Must of reloaded a couple of times according to what their saying on TV, because the theory now is that he fired over 100 rounds.

He's off of a respirator now, maybe they will get to rub some fried (or raw?) bacon on his tongue and get him to talk.

I've never been one to play the politically correct games and this massacre just finished any possible thoughts of that forever.

Just my thoughts

It's my understanding the guy is in a medical induced coma. He did use a 5.7 fn pistol. The 5.7 is a very small diameter cartridge with a high velocity. It was designed, I think, to punch holes in bullet proof vests. I could be wrong.

As I'm writing this there is a lot of speculation about the army being broken, stress experienced by our troops, and screening people who enter the armed forces for mental instability. I don't believe any of this has anything to do with what has happened at fort hood.

I feel this is the result of a man who put his religious convictions ahead of his country. I feel that when push came to shove he simply decided he was a muslim first and an american second. Worse, it's becoming clear there were warning signs that were ignored. Why, I can't say at this time but I'm already wondering if PC considerations were at play. I'm guessing time will tell all.
