Discussion: Fort Hood Gunman On Death Row To Appear In Court For Review Of Case

Discussion for article #232628

You know we have a mental health problem in this country when a shrink is shooting people up.

Big bone of contention here was whether this was a terror act or workplace violence. Tough call. While he certainly was influenced by and communicated with known terrorists, he did not go on his rampage until he was deployed. And he targeted certain people, so it could easily be classified as workplace violence. He likely would not have done the shooting if he was not being deployed, so workplace violence seems the more logical choice.
