@TheOfficerTatum There are literally cameras everywhere. Even on rural roads due to Ring cameras at homes and game cameras. Perhaps someone can assist her in finding her driving route that morning or at the very least where her car was parked while she ventured out to fix signs at 2 AM.
There’s a bar in downtown Ft Worth that has the picture of Burt Reynold’s stretched out naked with a hat over his junk on the wall of the stalls. ‘Second Rodeo.’ It’s always funny to see women go in there and come out giggling. They also have firemen posing with cats on the inside of the stalls.
We were stationed at Hood when this happened. My kids and I were at an off post dentist appointment, and the radio announced the base lock down. My husband was deployed at the time. It’s as vivid as 9/11 for many families; the families of the victims for sure. It’s beyond time.
Nearly $300,000.
That's how much the Fort Hood terrorist collected in Army pay while he sat in a jail cell.
Nov. 5, 2009. Nidal Hasan, an Army major, opens fire on unarmed soldiers waiting for medical checkups. 13 dead, one of them pregnant. More than 30 wounded.
And the paychecks kept coming.
Over $7,000 a month, every month, for almost 4 years while he waited for trial.
The Pentagon confirmed it.
Military rules said his pay couldn't be cut off until he was convicted.
His lawyer says he gave nearly all of it away to charity.
Which charities? The attorney won't say.
So his victims sued and found nothing left to collect.
The Army says it can't claw back a dime.
Meanwhile Obama's government called his terror attack "workplace violence."
That label kept his victims from getting combat benefits for years.
They didn't get their Purple Hearts until 2015, after Congress forced the issue.
The killer got a salary. His victims got a fight.
On Dec. 3 he finally faces a firing squad. 17 years late.
Justice for the Fort Hood 13.
I don’t know where you stand on faith, but as I read your post yesterday, I kept getting a strong urge to say “in His time.” I pray for you to find comfort in all of us reading your posts, listening when you speak, knowing we all have definitely not forgotten, and we understand completely your frustrations. I pray, one day, this world will make some form of sense and justice will mean justice. 💕
At an Army medical clinic, this happened to me one time and in the end, I got told “the doc ran late playing golf, we need to reschedule.” I had waited over an hour. Granted it was an appt that would’ve been just after lunch. At the time I had even had to get a babysitter to attend the appointment. There really isn’t a mutual respect in that relationship for most.
@ThrillaRilla369 Had a cashier do a 1 minute light check on a $5 bill at Hobby Lobby the other day. She also had to ask me if .40 change was right. She started out trying to make the change with a quarter and a dime, but got confused, so she just gave me 4 dimes. 🤷🏼♀️
I’d be interested to hear from her victim’s mother. Where does she stand on this. If Pike is allowed to live, it would seem then that the state has failed to hold up their end of justice for Colleen, and should be made to pay her mother a monthly amount until Pike passes. That’s the very least they could do for botching the sentence. It would be a good incentive to never botch another one. 🤷🏼♀️
@ClownWorld Polls mean nothing because whomever asks the questions chooses who they ask often in an effort to skew it to what they want. Just go vote. Tune out the noise. Vote.
@MustangMan_TX Having been moved by the military to many states outside of Texas, we missed feeling at home. We missed HEB. We missed TX BBQ, the bluebonnets, the wide open spaces, and the Hill Country. Glad to be HOME. Let’s keep Texas, Texas.
