Thinking like this gets an awful lot of people in an awful lot of trouble.
I suppose you're qualified to make that judgement? How arrogant.

In this case of Nidal Hasan, almost everybody in this forum is qualified to make that judgement. Claiming one is not means to imply that 13 times murder means nothing.
And a "thinking like this gets people in trouble"? I do not buy into this socialist concept that people should be given what they want or need, and not according to what they deserve. I do not want mercy, but justice. And I prefer freedom over equality (the curse of the French revolution is that it made it appear exactly the other way around). If that is arrogant, then I hope my arrogance springs into everybody's eyes at first glance, for I cannot be arrogant enough then. It's an expression of man's reasonability and sense of fairness, then.
