According to one of his Naperville, IL neighbors interviewed on a Chicago TV station Friday night, he seemed totally normal.

According to a Chicago TV station I watched last night, he faces up to 20 years in prison if convicted.

Good. A common sense and logical post.

One person is also putting words into my posts I never said about these posters as being as dangerous as the news covered criminals. I never said anything remotely like that.

A: Because he's a jihadi terrorist!

And "The responses here are the scary part." Oh really?? So now posters on here are being judged as equally dangerous as a jihadist beheader??

We're in more trouble than we thought.

NPR:
"When a group of key officials gathered in the spring of 2008 for their monthly meeting in a Bethesda, Md., office, one of the leading — and most perplexing — items on their agenda was: What should we do about Hasan?

Hasan had been a trouble spot on officials' radar since he started training at Walter Reed, six years earlier. Several officials confirm that supervisors had repeatedly given him poor evaluations and warned him that he was doing substandard work.

Both fellow students and faculty were deeply troubled by Hasan's behavior — which they variously called disconnected, aloof, paranoid, belligerent, and schizoid. The officials say he antagonized some students and faculty by espousing what they perceived to be extremist Islamic views. His supervisors at Walter Reed had even reprimanded him for telling at least one patient that "Islam can save your soul."…..

….One official involved in the conversations had reportedly told colleagues that he worried that if Hasan deployed to Iraq or Afghanistan, he might leak secret military information to Islamic extremists. Another official reportedly wondered aloud to colleagues whether Hasan might be capable of committing fratricide, like the Muslim U.S. Army sergeant who, in 2003, killed two fellow soldiers and injured 14 others by setting off grenades at a base in Kuwait…..

…..Second, some of Hasan's supervisors and instructors had told colleagues that they repeatedly bent over backward to support and encourage him, because they didn't have clear evidence that he was unstable, and they worried they might be "discriminating" against Hasan because of his seemingly extremist Islamic beliefs..."
