Ft Hood shooter;prepare for the backlash/media onslaught...

Another mass shooting by another Neuro-Typical individual,lets hope NTs are witch hunted and viewed with suspicion,cold shouldered etc by normal Autistics.
Before any Uncle Toms mention PTSD- I have it and a large percentage of the population have it,so don`t pretend that magically makes him non-NT.....

From what I've read it's very unlikely he had PTSD - he was trying to make that claim, but he'd only served four months and that not in combat, so there wasn't much traumatic stress for him to have been exposed to. He also claimed to have a Traumatic Brain Injury, but some who knew him have indicated that may have been self-inflicted to get out of service.

To make this an ASD vs NT issue is sickening. There's no way this kind of thing just happens out of the blue. People are pushed. People with depression or PTSD are treated like trash in the muscle-brained culture that is the US military. Don't believe what the higher ups say. I really doubt it's just coincidence that this is the second shooting on the exact same base. Don't treat people like trash and this kind of thing happens far less.

Whywhywhywhywhywhy??????????????????? Please make it stop. Can I have my little box back please? If you had my life, you probably wouldn't involve youself in such matters. When things like this happen to or around you personally, and you are a good person, you deal with it the best that you can. Some people do bad things for alot of different reasons. The ones who do either die, or are going to be permanently counseled, and constantly monitored for life. Probably put in prison for a very long time. If you want to make the world a better place, go plant some flowers or something. Trust me when I tell you, you have no control over these events you see on the news that are taking place.

When your family members get plastered all over international news, and ugly people make a show about it, than I will be obliged to respect what you write about.

I can't, because when I try I want to throw up. Like right now.

No surprise to me here. It's the goddamn military.

Why is it that our politicians send thousands of American soldiers to die in Iraq over imaginary weapons of mass destruction and nobody questions their mental stability?

That is not a "fact." That is your opinion.

Let's do the math, shall we?

1 lone gunman (even 2 or 3), versus an entire base of armed soldiers. If all of them had been armed, the suspect's actions and/or the first shot (assuming someone didn't draw their side arm on him and subdue him first) would tip off most of them within earshot and/or sight range, therefore they'd be on a heightened alert. They would draw their weapons and probably investigate, leading them to a man firing a weapon at everyone else, who by then is engaging in return fire, at which point they would subdue the gunman or kill him, one way or the other. Ergo, after the first shot, anyone within range would know someone was shooting and would draw their weapon, ready to fire in defense. The shooter would not be able to kill as many people because he's outnumbered and outgunned, fighting against trained soldiers and probably from all directions, depending on the base and where they started shooting.
I'd call that fairly conclusive, wouldn't you?

Here's another fact for you: Under current policy, if the guard had done their job and searched the soldier, as is standard procedure when entering a military base, as well as having any vehicle searched, that soldier wouldn't have gotten through the gate in the first place.
Either way, there needs to be a serious reform on policy regarding whether or not soldiers can carry a side arm on base (to prevent future shooters from being able to do this again) and the guard that let the gunman through should be court-martialed for not following procedures.

A soldier who was there at Ft. Hood, said the same thing I did here, about the lack of them being able to be armed on base.
