2014 Ft. Hood Shooter

4 people dead and 16 injured. Everyone immediately jumped on the bandwagon of he's messed up in the head because he's on all these medicines for depression, sleep problems, alleged PTSD etc. From the outset I told people to wait and let the authorities do their investigation and not to immediately jump to conclusions.
Check after the jump for more of my story!



He shot and killed 3 people and injured 16 others which is horrible and my thoughts and prayers go out to all the people who know and loved them in this time of pain. However, my heart also hurts for his wife and daughter who are also completely innocent in this whole fiasco. What people, especially news media fail to realize when things like this happen is that there are 2 sides to every situation and when you are reporting on something like this, you need to be a bit sensitive as to showing people injured, etc. before they have a chance to even talk to their next of kin!

How would you like it if say you were one of the injured in the Boston Bombing last year and you were showed all over the news as you were wheeled off to a tent or ambulance before you could call your family to let them know what happened and your status. I will tell you that my high school class president, his wife (our class as well), and their 2 kids lived in the building next to the finish line where one of the bombs went off. I had seen a picture timed a hour before the bomb went off that his wife had posted on facebook of a soldier that had crossed the finish line fully dressed rucksack and all from the back.

Our classmates are very close and all freaked until we could get one of them to answer a post with an update.  See, his wife is dealing with Leukemia and had to be admitted into the same hospital as the bomber afterwards due to her immune system and what she walked through to get out of the building to the safety of a friends a few blocks away.

So you see, you cause hysteria when you show the injured people because the families can't get in touch with them and are freaking out if they are ok or not. Also with your wild speculations you put things out there for his daughter to someday grow up and google to see what happened to daddy and see. She did NOTHING wrong and was completely innocent in this as was his wife! When the whole thing started she came out of her apartment upset hoping upon hope her husband wasn't involved and upon hearing he was collapsed and was inconsolable!  She OBVIOUSLY had no idea what he was going to do and has fully cooperated with the authorities since.

You went to the apt complex and went door to door asking people if they knew him, saw him, etc. Do you realize that's compromising the investigation they are trying to get done to get you the answers you are biting at the bit to get?  Talking to ex coworkers does that too.  Just stop and let them get their jobs done and you will get the answers to your questions.  I know we all are need to know now, but you can compromise investigations if you don't BACK OFF!

When they can release information they will! They have already corrected you in the fact the initiating factor was a fight not his mental issues.  BTW @CNN I love how you cut out of the conference the other day when they weren't giving answers that you liked in regards to they were giving them towards the fight and nothing towards the mental state.

So if I were to do a live streaming show spoofing CNN would people watch?  comment below!
