Why, are you suspecting an evil plot by psychiatrists all over the world?

Well he killed 12 and injured about 31, so I'm guessing he was using small calibre weapons, like pistols or something. Either that or he was a shamefully bad shot, in which case they should find his drill instructor from when he was at basic all those years ago and demote him.


edit: I just read the article that darvlay posted (I usually get my news from sources other than CNN), the shooter was using two handguns.

There could be another connection... Cho Seung-Hui used dual pistols, Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan used dual pistols...

AND THEY BOTH WENT TO VIRGINIA TECH UNIVERSITY!

How did you find that name? The Guardian says Nidal Malik Hasan, NYTimes says Nidal Malik Hasan, The Telegraph says Malik Nadal Hasan, and CNN says Nidal Malik Hasan
And his doctor review page: http://www.vitals.com/doctor/profile/1811199052
says that he wasn't a good doctor.

And this page:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/8345944.stm

... says His cousin said he had faced harassment over his "Middle Eastern ethnicity"
and had been trying to leave the army.


Gee, why isn't it surprising?

It isn't surprising because it was always bound to happen when terrible and continual imperialist foreign policy subjugates people in the very army it uses to unjustifiably attack other members of their religion.
