The Other Shooter: The Banality of Terror
Posted by ROBERT STEINNov 8th, 2009 | Comments
As the nation was reeling from the Ft. Hood horror yesterday, a pathetic loner killed one man and wounded five other people in an Orlando office building shootout.
Compared to the complexity of Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, Jason Rodriguez looks like a run-of-the-mill loser with a failed marriage and the inability to hold a job after being fired two years ago from the architectural firm he shot up and later from a Subway eatery in a career of downward mobility.
As he was being led away by police, he told...
House Passes Health Care Bill But Future Unclear
Posted by PATRICK EDABURNNov 8th, 2009 | Comments
The House has just passed the Health Care Reform bill by a vote of 220-215.
Democrats voted 219-39 in favor
Republicans voted 176-1 against.
Lots of cheering on the Democratic side.
However I wouldn’t get so excited yet.
Assuming for the sake of argument the same proportions held up in the Senate then the vote on cloture would be:
Democrats 50-10 in favor
Republicans 40-0 against
The vote would fail with just 50 votes, ten short of the required 60. Indeed it would be barely enough to pass...
Should Kids Get Life Without Parole?
Posted by JOE WINDISH, Technology EditorNov 7th, 2009 | Comments
My answer is NO! The Supreme Court will hear appeals from two juvenile offenders on Monday arguing the Eighth Amendment’s ban on cruel and unusual punishment forbids life in prison for crimes other than homicide. (The court ruled in the 2005 Roper v. Simmons decision that it was unconstitutional to impose the death penalty for any minor who committed murder.)

Forensics Key To Shootings
Posted by JERRY REMMERS, ColumnistNov 7th, 2009 | Comments
What bothers me is the time frame and number of shots fired from one if not two pistols by Army Maj. Nidal M. Hasan in Thursday’s shooting spree at Fort Hood, Tex.
News reports and eye witnesses said the shootings lasted nearly 30 minutes. Army investigators said more than 100 shots were fired. Local police were quoted as saying all the shell casings were recovered from the same gun.
If that is true, what about the shell casings fired by police officer Kimberly Munley who is credited for gunning...

Obama Appeals To House Democrats As Health Care Reform Approaches House Vote
Posted by JOE GANDELMAN, Editor-In-ChiefNov 7th, 2009 | Comments
President Barack Obama met with House Democrats to make a final appeal today — a day when the epic health care reform battle is expected to come to a House vote. It’s a vote that promises to be historic in terms of social programs — and how it defines both parties.
One one side, the Democrats, whose votes could determine how members do when they’re up for re-election in 2010. On the other, the Republicans, whose votes are expected to unanimously oppose the plan —...

Miss Kimberly Munley, the mother of a three-year-old daughter, and a civie policewoman, is in stable condition, with injuries to the upper leg and thigh. General Cone said her fearless response to gunman at Fort Hood, had saved countless lives. Trained in active-response tactics, she rushed into the building where Major Nidal Malik Hasan began firing on comrades as they prepared to deploy to Afghanistan and Iraq. Officials confirmed that she had continued firing even after being hit.

Same-Sex Marriage Setback in Maine, Hope for the Future
Posted by MICHAEL STICKINGS, Assistant EditorNov 5th, 2009 | Comments
Washington voted for domestic partnerships, but Maine, a similarly blue state (despite having two Republican senators), voted against same-sex marriage.
There is no denying that the vote in Maine is a setback for gay rights. Simply put, the anti-gay forces of the right mobilize well, as they showed in California last year, playing to lingering bigotry and fear, and they did again here. Furthermore, there was little support for the same-sex marriage law in rural, more conservative parts of the state....
