ALL ‘Lone-wolf' Terrorists WERE KNOWN to FBI & Obama!


ALL real Americans know lone-wolf terrorists were known by FBI, hiding in plain sight, but were given a free pass by Obama.
FBI was told do NOT mention Islam in their reports.  Therefore, these so-called “lone-wolves” were able to murder, maim, and do damage to innocent American citizenry.

FACTS:  FBI acknowledged “they KNEW about” the San Bernardino Islamist terrorists of San Bernardino ... the “lone-wolf” who brutally murdered members of the gay community in Florida.

They were also given warning of the Boston Bomber Terrorists of the infamous Boston Marathon.  The parents of these extremists warned the FBI.  As did the security forces of Russia.

Obama told them to stand down.

Just the way Obama and the Department of Justice instructed the FBI to stand down when it came to the FBI conclusions regarding Hillary Clinton, who used her illegal home computers to receive and send USA TOP Secret emails.

Obama is using “lone-wolf” to scam Americans.  Americans know better.

ALL of the lone-wolves WERE conspiring with other radical terrorists to execute their murderous deeds.

NOT a Conspiracy theory.  These terrorists were conspiring with others.  They ALL were hiding in plain sight.

They were NOT “lone” they were NOT alone.  They were and are conspiring with others.

The FBI knew about each and every one of them.

But under the Obama regime, it would not be politically correct to call them out.

Terrorists in America, these so-called homegrown terrorists are not hiding.   They are under the microscope of the FBI, but the FBI is told to look the other way.

Only AFTER they have murdered and terrorized, the news breaks that they were once under suspicion by the FBI.  They were once under surveillance.

Once under surveillance? once under the microscope ...  They, hey, what happened?   What were the FBI conclusions?

Seems like the FBI is as dumb as dirt.

I guess they are using the Hillary Clinton “Benghazi” playbook.  Stand down!  Look the other way.  Let the terrorists do their ‘thang!

Remember Hillary testifying before Congress about the Benghazi terrorist murders, “What difference does it make?”

I guess the murders of Americans does NOT matter to Hillary or Obama.  It doesn’t make one bit of a difference to these two elitist career Politicians.

They can’t even say Islamist extremists.  They can’t  even call the Terrorists by name.

They do not want to offend or hurt the feelings of the terrorists.  They do not want to vet the onslaught of refugees because it might appear to be rude.

So, Obama and Hillary prefer to put Americans at risk because they MUST maintain their politically correct stance.

Not only does the FBI appear, after-the-fact to be as dumb as dirt -

Obama and Hillary - before, during and after the terrorist murders of Americans - CHOOSE to be as dumb as dirt.

Justice is NOT blind in America.  Justice is not equal.

Elitist, rich, career politicians like Hillary - get a free pass in the USA (Department of Justice) system.

Extremist Islamist Muslim Terrorists are allowed to murder because the FBI tends to look the other way until AFTER the fact.

Hillary says rhetoric by Trump is enabling Terrorists?

Hell no!  The weak, politically correct current Liberal Democrat administration prefers to have open borders, “come one, come all.”

Why the hell would you invite a potential murderer into your home to break bread with you?

If You show all the obvious signs of being a murderous thug, terrorist, it is politically incorrect to acknowledge it. Therefore, I have to wait until murderous infidels kill my children, before I can say out loud, “You are a damn Islamist Muslin Terrorist.”

“Hell no, NOW you go to go!”

After the fact.

Too little, too late.

WE the PEOPLE are responsible.

We the People elect the President to serve and protect us.  That is their priority.  To protect American citizenry is the primary goal of the President.

When a President fails to protect America and Americans - he or she is not fulfilling their legal, contractual agreement with WE the People.

We the People did NOT give the lone-wolf terrorists a pass.  The FBI under the President did.

The President gave these terrorists a pass.

WE the PEOPLE need to FIRE any elected official who continues to allow our families, friends, kids, neighbors, lovers, soul-mates to be put at risk.

We the People are comp-licit to the murders if we do not act.

Excerpt from: Ma' there's a Terrorist behind the Christmas tree!

by Brian Pinette




Ma, there's a Terrorist
behind the Christmas Tree

Excerpt:

".... I not Santa helper,‭ ‬Johnny,‭ ‬I what you Americans,‭ ‬what all the world calls us.‭  ‬I am real deal.‭  ‬I proud Terrorist‭!”

“What you saying fool‭ ‬--‭ ‬your people don't like black people.‭  ‬You people are coming into America to kill us Americans,‭ ‬all Americans.‭  ‬We black people have lived and died in America.‭  ‬We love this Country.‭  ‬We blacks fought in wars to protect and serve.

We gave our lives to protect the freedom of this Country.‭  ‬You're a fool for saying what you said in front of me.‭ ‬My past,‭ ‬my folks past in America does NOT determine what my future will be.‭  ‬I determine my own future.

And as God is my witness,‭ ‬I will fight and die for America.‭  ‬May God continue to bless this great U.S.A.‭!” ‬proclaimed Mr.‭ ‬Sanford proudly.

‭“‬You tell‭ '‬em,‭ ‬Pop.‭” ‬added Lamonte.

‭“‬I'll drink to that.‭” ‬slurs Stan as he takes a swig from his beer bottle.

‭“‬Stan‭ ‬--‭”

“Stella.‭” ‬whispers Stan.

‭“‬I'm going to the car.‭  ‬I'll be back.‭” ‬says Stella as she quickly leaves the living room.

‭“‬STELLA‭!”

“You nothing but a drunk.‭” ‬states the man beside the Christmas tree.

‭“‬This is America.‭ ‬We have the freedom to get drunk if we want to.‭” ‬flatly states Grandma Bea.

‭“‬That's right.‭”

“Shut-up Arthur.‭” ‬says Beatrice.

‭“‬Besides,‭ ‬America now has the first black President right now in the White House.‭” ‬insists Scarlett as she stands next to Mr.‭ ‬Sanford.

‭“‬He's black‭?  ‬He's black,‭ ‬Lamonte‭?” ‬questions Mr.‭ ‬Sanford,‭ ‬confused.

‭“‬I don't know Pop.‭  ‬I stay out of politics.‭” ‬says Lamonte as he goes to the buffet table.‭  “‬Pop,‭ ‬these fried chicken nuggets are great.‭”

“I'm not eating any chicken unless I can spit out the bones.‭” ‬says Mr.‭ ‬Sanford.

‭“‬Mr.‭ ‬Sanford,‭ ‬remember me‭?”

“Of courses,‭ ‬I watch you on TV all the time.‭”

Ginger smiles.‭  “‬You know I'm wearing black-face right‭?”

“You're not black.‭  ‬She's not black Lamonte‭?” ‬asks Mr.‭ ‬Sanford.

‭“‬You will have to excuse my Pop.‭  ‬He's too cheap to buy a new color TV.‭  ‬He still uses his old portable black and white TV.‭  ‬He uses aluminum foil as an antenna.‭”

The Beverly Hills Hotel & The Sultan of Death: Hassanal Bolkiah



The Beverly Hills Hotel

The Beverly Hills Hotel was unveiled on May 12, 1912. As yet, there wasn't even a city called Beverly Hills. By mid 1914, Beverly Hills had attracted enough residents to incorporate as a city.

Legendary Hollywood directors, actors and actresses such as Mary Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks, Charlie Chaplin, Gloria Swanson, Buster Keaton, Rudolph Valentino, Lillian Gish, Pola Negri and Will Rogers built homes there, turning farmland, lots and bean fields surrounding The Beverly Hills Hotel into prime real estate.



 

Margaret J. Anderson and her son, Stanley S. Anderson, who had been managing the Hollywood Hotel were the original owners. They loved the movies. They loved the stars and celebrities.


From 1928 to 1932, the hotel was owned by the Van Noy Railway News and Hotel Company. Its strict resident owner from 1954 until his death in 1979 was former Detroit real estate magnate Ben L. Silberstein, who took it over from Hernando Courtright, later hotelier at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel.
 

Some of the owners have been celebrities:
Irene Dunne

 
Loretta Young
and currently ... the Sultan of Brunei.
 
Marvin H. Davis bought the Hotel for $54 million from Silberstein's sons-in-law Burt Slatkin and Ivan F. Boesky. Boesky had bought the 5% of stock that was outstanding for a reported fortune and decided to sell, despite Slatkin's desire to keep the hotel.
Less than a year later, Davis sold the hotel to the Sultan of Brunei, Hassanal Bolkiah, for $110 million. The hotel is managed and owned by the Dorchester Collection, organized in 1996 to manage the hotel interests of the Brunei Investment Agency. The west coast regional director for the Dorchester Collection oversees The Beverly Hills Hotel as well as the Hotel Bel-Air.
 
Owner (Corporation)
Dorchester Collection is a luxury hotel operator owned by the Brunei Investment Agency (BIA), an arm of the Ministry of Finance of Brunei. Dorchester Collection owns and manages 10 luxury five star hotels, The Dorchester, The Beverly Hills Hotel, Plaza Athénée, Hotel Meurice, Principe di Savoia, Hotel Bel-Air, Coworth Park, 45 Park Lane, Le Richemond and Hotel Eden.
 
The Sultan of Brunei is the head of state and absolute monarch of Brunei. He is also head of government in his capacity as Prime Minister.
 
Since independence from the British in 1984, only one Sultan has reigned, though the royal institution dates back to the 14th century.
 
The Sultan of Brunei can be thought of as synonymous with the ruling House of Bolkiah, with descendency being traced from the 1st sultan, temporarily interrupted by the 14th sultan Abdul Hakkul Mubin who in turn was deposed by a member of the House of Bolkiah. It is not clear when the house became known as the 'House of Bolkiah', and whether it was named after the current sultan Hassanal Bolkiah, or the 6th sultan Bolkiah.
 
The full title of the Sultan is: His Majesty The Sultan and Yang Di-Pertuan of Brunei Darussalam.
 
The Sultan:  Hassanal Bolkiah (full name: Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah Mu'izzaddin Waddaulah ibni Al-Marhum Sultan Haji Omar Ali Saifuddien Sa'adul Khairi Waddien; born 15 July 1946) is the 29th and current Sultan and Yang Di-Pertuan of Brunei. He is also the first and incumbent Prime Minister of Brunei. The eldest son of Sir Muda Omar Ali Saifuddien III and Raja Isteri Pengiran Anak Damit, he succeeded to the throne as the Sultan of Brunei, following the abdication of his father on 4 October 1967.
 
The sultan is worth an estimated $20 billion and lives in a 1,800-room palace. Bolkiah is implementing a Sharia law penal code that includes death by stoning, the severing of limbs, and flogging for crimes in Brunei such as abortions, adultery and homosexual acts. The sultan has had three wives and has numerous children. He has received many awards from the leaders of other nations.
 
To destroy the beast - it is the Sultan who must be hurt in his wallet.
 
Celebrities are NOW joining in “the fight”, i.e., boycott of the Beverly Hills Hotel.
The fight is past due. However, these same celebrities also enjoy staying at ALL of the luxury hotels owned by this killer Sultan. There is a list of names. Follow the stars, they proudly advocate all of the Hotels owned by this madman.
 
The LGBT brought The Beverly Hills Hotel into “their” light. For their agenda.
 
How long has the world turned their head and turned their backs ignoring Leaders and Countries who strictly enforce and adhere to Sharia law? A genocide of women, torture of women and children. Murder of homosexuals.
 
All or in part - the rhyme or reason for this boycott is not the issue. IT IS ABOUT TIME.
 
Sharia law has no place in the civilized world.
In a different time and place - in an age of innocence - the newly founded Hollywood was a place of dreams and fantasy and dream-makers.
 

 
 
Little Mary Pickford and Cecil B. DeMille star Gloria Swanson and Rudolph Valentino and Charlie Chaplin, Mae Murray, Ramon Novarro, John Gilbert and ethereal Lillian Gish all graced the lobby and banquet rooms of The Beverly Hills Hotel.
 
 
 

Mary Pickford & Douglas Fairbanks
 

 
Lillian Gish and Mary Pickford
 

 
Then, in the name of money - capitalism - Americans sold their interest in a landmark building, as Americans do. They sold their fabled The Beverly Hills Hotel to a killer.
Now it is time, just like the classic film Frankenstein, for the villagers with torches in their hand to either take back or figuratively burn down The Beverly Hills Hotel.
 
It will never stand for the magic and marvel it once did. It is tainted. The fabled walls and halls can no longer whisper the names of Hollywood and world-wide royalty. The ghosts of the beauties of the silver screen can no longer linger and whisper their memories. The whispering giggles and laughter have turned to despair.
 
There is blood on the carpets.
 
The ghosts of the straight and gay elite legends are saddened that their hotel is now owned by a monster. A monster far more dangerous than the gentle Frankenstein creature.
 
It is time for Hollywood to come out of the closet and fight to take back what is left of decency in America. There is no place for Sharia law in a civilized Country.
 
This Sultan and future death leaders have no place in America. No place in Beverly Hills. No place in this world.
 
 
If need be, this hotel MUST be boy-cotted until is sold to Americans and/or closed down if the Sultan chooses to "hold onto it."
 
 
No one wants anyone to lose a job - but sometimes - a loss of a job is far better than advocating a Hotel that is owned by a murderer - who advocates the loss of life and God-given freedoms.

Socialist Governments are afraid of GOD!



Socialist governments - plain and simple are afraid of God. 

More specifically, they are afraid of Religion.

Socialist governments need their citizenry to be dependent upon them for everything.  Quite literally, everything.

Socialist governments are greedy and jealous.  Socialist leaders are narcissistic and jealous.

They cannot share "citizenry" with anyone, especially a higher power stronger, more powerful & more knowing and wiser than themselves ...

Socialist governments are afraid of God, they are specifically afraid of Jesus. 

When citizenry has a choice, they do indeed choose a power higher than themselves and that is not government.

WE the PEOPLE proudly choose God.

When citizenry looks to God for solutions & absolution and not Government - indeed, Government should be afraid. 

Government should be very afraid.

For their are certain truths and rights endowed to us by our Creator ...

In God we Trust - NOT in Government we trust.

Republicans = self reliance, hope, faith, family and God.

Democrats and Liberals believe they are the higher powers - they demand and insist upon Government rule and dependence.

Always remember, it is God we must trust!

To the world, Obama IS a rodeo CLOWN!


To the world, Obama IS a rodeo CLOWN!

Obama drew a fake red-line in the sand!

He has no coalition to air-strike Syria.

Countries are abandoning Obama. NOT America.

Foreign Countries and their citizenry deem Obama a fool!

Obama owns a failed economy!

Obama picks and chooses which laws he should uphold! (EVERY President in history swore to uphold the Constitution -- Obama blatantly spits upon it!)

The United States is NOT Barack Obama. Barack Hussein Obama does NOT speak for all Americans..

Obama is a glitch in the system!

Obama is NOT for family family values, American tradition.

Obama supports Muslims, Islam OVER Christianity!

His Obamacare “law” was intended to be bait and switch! The Supreme Court, against human logic turned Obamacare into a tax.

Obama forced Americans to get his version of health care. This is like Obama forcing Americans to watch a certain TV show. Demanding Americans to no longer use hair color ... forcing Americans ... dictating to Americans what to choose ...

Obama agenda is to topple America.

FACT: Obama has made his millions. He uses his political & Presidential powers to game America and to game his voter base.

Obama has diminished America.

On Obama’s watch -

America had its first Credit downgrade.

He has made America - the once greatest Country upon this earth -- a laughing stock. A butt of many, many jokes.

Obama cares only for himself and realistically, I am not sure he cares for his own family brood. He is never at home in The White House (which is own temporary loan from WE the People).

Obama is always on Airforce One or on the bus re-campaigning for his failed policies.

The above facts are well-documented.

WE the People are NOT better off with Obama.

 He is a failed man --

and failed President.

I am not sure which is worse.

Excerpt from Bestseller: Denizens of Death (eBook) by Brian Pinette


Excerpt (Chapter) from Denizens of Death
an eBook (Kindle Book) by
 
Brian Pinette

 
Sam
It was hot. Too hot for early late night. Usually by eleven, the Texas heat would be worn down and there would be a breeze to highlight the temperature loss. Not tonight.
 
I wanted to talk to someone, but everyone was in their room either watching television or asleep. None of us had a car so we were free prisoners. We all knew it. Except for Lionel, the self-promoting, oddly arrogant “writer.” But he wasn't really one of us. He and his dog stayed to themselves. He stayed in his room and each day – he would take his dog for a drive.
 
This once abandoned manufactured home was turned into an illegal rooming house. The perpetrator was now doing time for being a slumlord in West Virginia, two States away. He also tried to assault a cop with a screw-driver. But he wasn't the owner of the land. His name was Kirk. He was the silent partner. The real Landlord. I looked it up on the internet. He owned the land. He held the deed. 
 
He bought the property for the land according to the deed. The run down, abandoned shack was his inspiration. Turn it into a transient, come one, come all, rooming house. It was illegal. This was a residential neighborhood and in the dead center of family homes was a commercial, transient only “rooming house.”
 
But I was given a special deal. I was allowed to take fifty dollars off my rent if I would assume the title of property manager. I collected the rent. I watched the house further decay right before my eyes. I cared. But I didn't do anything to change anything. I guess I don't care enough.
 
We have a roof over our heads and it doesn't leak. I used to tell everyone “we are where God wants us to be.” I don't know if I ever really believed that. If I did, what kind of God would allow this to happen? That's why I don't say it anymore. That is why I don't believe it anymore.
 
We were ten miles from the nearest Walmart. Too far away to walk. There was a neighborhood convenience store. But not so convenient to us. It was about a half mile walk. And there were no streets lamps, so you couldn't get there after darkness arrived. We all knew there were things in the trees. We knew there was always someone or something watching us from behind the trees.
 
We lived in Texas hill country. Very rural. Trees, big lots. Neighbors you never saw. Or neighbors you saw but who never said hello or goodbye. They lived in pretty brick houses or RVs or manufactured homes or a combination of both. Most had pick up trucks. Most had more than one. Some lived atop the hill and others behind the hills. We saw cars go up and wind in and out of trees and then they disappeared. Houses dotted the hills like pimples or acne on a teen's face.
 
We were all lost denizens of the hill country. We were the odd ones. We were the ones who lived in the once abandoned home – a carpetbagger type – turned into a get rich quick rooming house scheme. Pay as you stay. No matter where you came from, what you had, what you didn't have. Pay as you stay. Weekly. Monthly. Or longer. Black, white, Hispanic, drunk, pedophile, felon, straight, sober, gay. Pay as you stay. Your yesterday didn't matter as long as you could pay – so you could stay, today, tonight.
 
This is hicks-ville. Cowboys and red-necks. The deep south died in 1865. There was no need for a resurrection. But the real-life deep south was alive and kicking here. It was alive but not too well. Or maybe, like zombies, many of those who lived in the Texas Hill country just didn't know they too, were dead or dying.
 
 
But I was careful. I was one of the last of us who remembered ... I was more than once called nigger when I was a child. I've been called nigger since. And I'm sure I'll be called nigger again, before I pass away.
 
 
This was just another night like the night before, like the day before the night before. I wanted a drink. I wanted something. I've been clean and sober going on six years. Coke was my drug of choice. But any kind of alcohol sounded good, too. I just wanted something to help me make it through the night.
 
 
I was an over-weight black man who knew it all. I had my diabetes under control. My weight fluctuated. It was constantly on the rise. But I was six feet tall. I was a big old, black man.
 
I pontificated and ruled over my two wives and three children until they wanted no more. They left me. I didn't leave them. Even the friends I met along the way are gone.
 
I was hoping one day I would have grand-kids and they'd call me Old Sam. Or Grandpa Sam.

 
Now I rule over my life of emptiness. I'm sixty eight and alone. And the feeling of loneliness is over-powering. And I am power-less to do anything about it.
 
The TV said it might rain, but I don't think so. Not tonight.
 
Old Sam. Yea, I kind of like that name. Old Sam.

As for me, I walk into stores who sell the the magazine. I fill up my shopping cart.

I go to the cashier. I show them the magazine. I show them my shopping cart.

I state: “Never mind. I cannot shop where you sell this magazine. This is not a teen idol, it’s a terrorist. I love America.”

As I am walking toward the exit, I add, “Tell your Manager.” I leave the store.

God Bles America and freedom of choice.

Austin, TEXAS - City Council members Break Law - NO one cares!


YOU ... break the law in TEXAS - if you just promise to not do it again and be good, well we'll toss the whole thing out. We paid for the investigation and any "defense" the members had. It's okay to break a law you know exists if you promise not to do it again, and take courses on understanding a law that understanding in the first place is a pre-requisite for serving.

Travis County attorney says he found open meetings violations but will not prosecute Austin City Council members

By Sarah Coppola
American-Statesman Staff

Travis County Attorney David Escamilla said Wednesday that his office found “multiple violations” of open meetings laws during its nearly two-year investigation of the Austin City Council.

But he said he decided not to file criminal charges in part because the council has taken steps to make its deliberations and records more public.

In a long written statement Wednesday — his first detailed comments about the inquiry since launching it in January 2011 — Escamilla said his office had reviewed more than 30,000 pages of notes, texts, emails, cellphone records and other documents from Austin council members. “We found that (they) regularly deliberated outside of the public’s purview by use of almost every modern communication medium that exists,” he said.

“We found probable cause to believe that multiple violations of the Texas Open Meetings Act had occurred.”

However, he said: “This was never an investigation into corrupt practices. There was never even a hint that any of the City Council members were involved in self-dealing, nor was there any evidence that any council member was engaging in these (private) deliberations in order to benefit a friend or political supporter.”

Seven current and former council members have signed “compliance agreements” with Escamilla in which they deny they broke any laws and agree to take courses in open government laws and to keep following such laws. In exchange, they will not face fines or charges.

If they fail to comply with those terms over the next two years, Escamilla said he could file criminal charges for new violations and any that were part of the original investigation.

Open meetings violations can carry fines of up to $500 and as many as six months in jail. Council members expressed relief that the inquiry has ended.

“I’m glad to have this matter resolved,” Council Member Chris Riley said in a statement Wednesday. “Our city government should always be open and accessible, and these agreements reflect our shared commitment to making sure it stays that way.”

Escamilla began the investigation after frequent City Council critic Brian Rodgers filed a complaint saying council members were routinely meeting privately, in groups of two or three, to discuss city business in the days leading up to council meetings.

Escamilla wanted to know if the council was trying to circumvent the Texas Open Meetings Act, which prohibits elected officials from secretly deliberating about upcoming votes and from creating “walking quorums,” in which they relay information to each other to know a vote’s outcome in advance.

Early on, council members turned over to Escamilla and reporters hundreds of emails, a few of which contained stinging remarks about city leaders and caused embarrassment at City Hall.

  In each council member’s compliance agreement, Escamilla details examples of possible open-meetings violations he found, including four or more council members — a quorum — discussing significant city issues through phone calls and emails.

The issues include a possible settlement of a lawsuit over a fatal police shooting; a vote related to a controversial water treatment plant; and the job performance of City Manager Marc Ott.

Since the investigation began, the City Council has changed some of its open-government policies, including ending the small private meetings and instead holding public work sessions — long, wide-ranging discussions — two days before each council meeting.

The council also agreed to forward all future messages about city business sent to their private mobile devices to their city accounts so that those messages would clearly be subject to open records laws.

Escamilla cited those changes as among the reasons he decided not to file criminal charges. He also noted that prosecutions of open-meetings violations are rare and tough to prove; that the practice of meeting privately in small groups was in place long before the council members took office; and that the council was not entirely to blame for its open-meetings problems.

“Our investigation revealed that the council members were not well-served by city administration. We could not identify anyone at the city with meaningful responsibility for ensuring compliance with the Texas Open Meetings Act,” Escamilla said.

Escamilla said the city has agreed to: offer city employees more training on open government; improve how it retains and gathers records to respond to public-records requests; and create an executive-level job to ensure compliance with open meetings and open records laws.

Over the past two years, the City of Austin has spent about $383,000 out of contracts worth $444,000 hiring three private law firms to advise city officials and the City Council on Escamilla’s investigation and open-meetings matters. Escamilla hasn’t tallied how much his office spent on the inquiry, but said this summer that eight assistant county attorneys were working on it on an as-needed basis.

Every current council member except Kathie Tovo has signed the agreement with Escamilla; Tovo was not on the council when the inquiry began. Her predecessor, Randi Shade, has signed it.

Muslim Ft. Hood Terrorist Nidal Malik Hasan doesn’t want to shave! Obama - drone his ass!

 
 
 
Nidal Malik Hasan, a practicing Muslim (as per his cousin) was a U.S. Army Major - serving as a psychiatrist at The Fort Hood.

The shooting took place on November 5, 2009, at Fort Hood, the most populous U.S. military installation in the world, located just outside Killeen, Texas. Nidal was shot and taken into custody by Department of the Army Civilian Police officers and is now paralyzed from the waist down. Hasan has been charged with 13 counts of premeditated murder and 32 counts of attempted murder under the Uniform Code of Military Justice; he may face additional charges at court-martial. If he is convicted, he could be given the death penalty.

But - now, as of this date - his trial is still being pre-empted. This terrorist decided he does not want to shave as it would be against his religion.

YET - when he became a soldier - he swore to defend the American Constitution, et al. So - he sits and the U.S.A. is laughed at world wide.

Muslim terrorist sympathizer Barack Hussein Obama, as with the Libya Embassy Terrorist Attack - is silent.
