She was curled up on the floor, holding her stomach. Protecting her baby.
"My baby, my baby."
A soldier shot beside her told the court that's what she cried.
Another soldier, on the other side of a door, heard "Please don't, please don't. My baby, my baby."
She was shot once in the back.
Pfc. Francheska Velez was 21.
She had just come home from Iraq, about 3 months pregnant, her family said. Her dad said she had "the spirit of a child."
This is what Nidal Hasan did at Fort Hood on Nov. 5, 2009.
He planned it for months.
He asked a gun store for "the most technologically advanced handgun on the market."
He added two laser sights and 30-round magazines.
He practiced headshots at 100 yards.
He asked the range instructor how to reload faster.
That morning he gave a neighbor his Koran and his furniture.
He told another neighbor, "I'm going to do good work for God." At prayer he said goodbye. He was "going home."
At about 1:34 p.m. he walked into a room full of unarmed soldiers getting ready to deploy.
He sent the civilian clerk away.
He yelled "Allahu Akbar" and opened fire.
He covered both exits.
He shot soldiers in the back as they ran.
He shot people hiding under tables.
Pathologists testified at least 5 were shot while lying on the ground.
Spc. Frederick Greene charged him. He was shot 12 times.
Michael Cahill, 62, charged him with a chair. He was shot 6 times.
Pfc. Kham Xiong, father of 3, was shot twice in the head.
A civilian outside asked what was happening. Hasan told him it was a training exercise.
He fired more than 200 rounds.
He still had 177 left when a police officer finally dropped him.
13 killed. More than 30 wounded.
He wasn't hiding who he was. He emailed terrorist cleric Anwar al-Awlaki 18 times.
He asked if soldiers who killed fellow soldiers would be martyrs.
His slideshow at Walter Reed said "We love death more then you love life."
His business cards said "SoA," Soldier of Allah.
The Army knew. 2 officers called him a "ticking time bomb."
He ranked in the bottom 25 percent.
He got glowing evaluations and a promotion anyway.
The FBI read his emails. Its review took 4 hours. Nobody interviewed him.
Then the Obama Pentagon called it "workplace violence."
The families waited more than 5 years for Purple Hearts.
At trial he said, "The evidence will clearly show I am the shooter." He said he "switched sides."
In prison he asked ISIS to make him a citizen.
He was sentenced to death in 2013.
Nearly 17 years after the massacre, he is still alive.
His firing squad is set for Dec. 3 at Fort Hood.
Do it. Fire away.
Do it where he did this.
And yes, let America watch.
Not for him.
For them:
Michael Cahill. Maj. Eduardo Caraveo. Staff Sgt. Justin DeCrow. Capt. John Gaffaney. Spc. Frederick Greene. Spc. Jason Hunt. Staff Sgt. Amy Krueger. Pfc. Aaron Nemelka. Pfc. Michael Pearson. Capt. Russell Seager. Pfc. Francheska Velez. Lt. Col. Juanita Warman. Pfc. Kham Xiong.
This guy built a squirrel city with over 1,000 homes, complete with cameras to capture what they get up to
including hugging and “kissing” their loved ones in the privacy of their own homes.
48-year-old Keith Theodore Constantin is set to be released into the Durham Region community on Sunday after serving time for multiple serious crimes including sexual assault and robbery with police warning he poses a significant risk especially to children
WATCH & READ:
Protester attacks Kyle from behind, dragging him to the ground and punching him in the head. He is defenceless throughout.
Others then swarm around the victim, pointing, laughing, and seemingly trying to prevent others from helping.
The assailant escapes into the crowd after being urged to leave by one of his comrades.
A familiar presence in the protest landscape, Kyle has participated in a range of causes as a protester, counterprotester, and independent content creator.
Today, he was accompanying @mitch6669, who’d been threatened for peacefully recording the demonstration.
Kyle was taken to hospital with a serious knee injury and is currently unable to walk.
This is what happens when repeated warnings about unlawful behaviour at protests go unanswered, and police refuse to meaningfully address concerns about enforcement.
It’s as though protesters have been led to believe they can assault people with impunity, particularly those documenting their public activities.

Kanata Medical Arts Centre on Kakulu.
Recent controversy with the greedy property owner creating paid parking here. Sorry, but there’s no need for paid parking anywhere in Kanata.
Also, not sure how deliveries and snow removal are supposed to get around that gate.
Darnell Nurse telling off Mark Spector for the personal attacks and hit pieces directed at him while he was an Edmonton Oilers.
Apparently didn’t appreciate Spector saying he has low IQ.
“Next!” 😅😅😅
Crazy story from a customer next door.
He tells me his 15 year old son was walking home in Kanata lakes at 9:30pm and was horrifically jumped by a group of 8. They stomped the boy.
The boy has been to 2 days of school since. Won’t leave the house.
The trauma mentally is worse
Sad
Currently listening to closing arguments from the CBC in my $7M+ defamation trial against them.
Their counsel have admitted that the following statements about me (several of which were news headlines) were not true:
"Star UCP candidate who resigned over white supremacist comments also questioned value of Pride parades’"
"Ford lamented that white supremacist terrorists face a double standard compared to Islamic terrorists."
"UCP finds replacement for star candidate who resigned after white supremacist comments"
"White supremacist and homophobic posts force UCP candidates out"
"two candidates have resigned from the United Conservative Party over Islamophobic, white supremacist, homophobic and transphobic messages on social media"
“[Ford] said some things that were really really really hard to defend. Stuff that was quite literally sympathetic to white supremacists.”
"Over the past several weeks, there have been high-profile controversies involving UCP candidates making sexist, homophobic, or racist remarks. Two of those candidates, Caylan Ford and Eva Kiryakos, have since resigned"
And more.
I remember being called all manner of pejoratives when I pointed out that Brampton was mortgage fraud central.
This is not surprising to anyone in the know

His parents moved back to Ottawa as part of their grieving process.
On Thursday, the Emery family will ring the bell inside the CTC — to launch the home opener.

This is uncomfortable viewing for me. Takes me back to when I was attacked by a mob of some 200 men in Tahrir Square in Cairo, when I was reporting for 60 Minutes and I was gang-raped, sodomized & beaten. Mob violence is a call to the worst of humanity because it is cover for cowards.
