U.S.: Fort Hood shooter Nidal Malik Hasan called “Camel Jockey” by peers
- Just keep in mind mass killers pretty much know they want to die and they tend to take as many people with them as they can in a shooting. It is one of those things where he went and wanted to kill a lot of people and commit suicide maybe in his own mind that he’s saving peoples’ lives.
- Ex-FBI agent (and ABC News consultant) Brad Garrett • Trying to explain the mindset of Nidal Malik Hasan, who regularly faced criticism in the military from his peers due to his race and religion. He did, however, say things that seemed to validate that fear of him. Most notably, he commented on the Internet at some point that suicide bombings were like soldiers jumping on bombs, trying to protect others. So clearly, not of a traditional mind on the matter. • source
