If any of you liberals have any decency at all you will vociferously condemn cygonaut and madmex for their behavoir in this thread.
Kudos to C2C for doing this.
Un freaking believable that people would make this tragedy something to JOKE ABOUT.

OK, a city. But how come one suspect is still at large given the thousands and thousands of trained soldiers there?
A reasonable question. Could one hide from the police and civilians in a city?
They have one suspect in custody, on pinned down and are unsure about the third.
Breaking: Unconfirmed - New shots fired. Suspects surrounded. But confusion on all information still reigns. Sirens still going off.
News conference from Ft. Hood shortly. Gov. to hold press conference at 5:00 P. M. Eastern

Doesn't lend to too much confidence in their abilities to capture and end this.

Yes, one could probably hide for a while (from civilians) - but there are thousands and thousands of trained soldiers there. I don't get it.

It's beyond any standard of decency however it's ignorable as these fools are only making a pronouncement that they are incapable of being adults when maturity is called on to trump all other personnel priorities.

Sometimes joking is a response to unavoidable and unbearable pain. It certainly serves that function in the military. The growing strain on military families and the rapidly rising and largely unmet mental health needs of those serving multiple deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan have been common knowledge for years now. And I mean years; we've been at war with al Qaeda longer than we were in WWI or WWII or the Civil War, and we have been fighting with a tiny, largely ignored professional military drawn from a rather slender slice of American society.
Those with the "Support the Troops" refrigerator magnets and bumper stickers will be quick to decry "politicizing this tragedy"; but the fact remains that this tragedy is a direct result of national politics and national policy. To Republicans, "support the troops" means giving them the weapons to accomplish the mission. To Democrats, "support the troops" means getting them home safe. That's simple and it's nasty, but is all too true.

what's your freakin' problem anyway, you have virtually no idea what's going on here, how about we wait for the story to emerge before the Monday morning QBs tell us how they could have handled it better

I'm not surprised by this sad series of events though... Even in the army you'll find the occasional deranged kook who'll lose control over his mental faculties and go ballistic on random fellow soldiers/officers he/she sees. Or maybe this incident was perpetrated by non-military personel... Who knows..  Last edited on Thu Nov 5th, 2009 09:37 pm by Mazel Schlimazel

Unfortunately, IF the lone remaining shooter is a soldier... one who would be recognized by fellow soldiers... it could be very easy for him to pretend to be as surprised as everyone else, and move about without challenge.
And yeah. Guys... this isn't something to "joke" about.

What a charmer you are. Of course I don't know what's going on, other than what I hear reported, but my question is valid.

We don't know what is going on over at Ft. Hood.
The only thing we do know is that people are being killed and injured in an ongoing incident and if anyone can not step up and recognize this for the horrible tragedy it is then they need to say nothing rather then to remove all doubt.
