Terrorism is Cowardice

20 Armor Piercing Rounds

Insanity Seems Quiet on the Inside

Or so I have been told. The mind is a marvelous creation, but when it becomes warped, the devastation we can bring forth on our fellow man seems incomprehensible. Thursday was an example of a mind bent on destruction, which orders it’s universe before going out to complete it’s task. In this case it was a terrorist act against the U.S. Military at a home base.

Terrorism is an act of cowardice. Only cowards find solace in killing unarmed people. Unjustifiable in a “man’s” world cowardice seems to be spreading across the face of the earth. Will we finally silence the timid and take this plague head on? Or will be be swept up in defending our Republic? Which comes first? This is not about Islam nor about religion. This is about terrorism and cowardice.

Hash Browns, Then 4 Minutes of Chaos

Role of Texas Shooter’s Muslim Faith Is Examined; Policewoman Hailed as Hero

FORT HOOD, Texas — On Thursday morning, Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan gave a key to his apartment manager, lined up some cleaning supplies under his sink and asked Patricia Villa if he could pay her $60 to tidy up his one-bedroom place. He was shipping out to Afghanistan on Friday, he told her.

“I asked him, ‘Are you afraid of going over there?’” Ms. Villa recalls. “He said, ‘I’m ready for it.”

Then, authorities said, he packed two handguns, drove to this bustling military base, and opened fire on a brigade of young engineers prepping to deploy to Afghanistan after Christmas. In a matter of about four minutes — before he himself was taken down in a face-to-face shootout with a female police officer — he killed 13 people and wounded 30.

As victims and witnesses came forward to describe the worst soldier-on-soldier violence in U.S. military history, authorities worked Friday to learn more about the alleged shooter, Maj. Hasan. They seized his home computer in hopes of trying to discern a motive.
