Fort Hood jihad victims seek $750 million in compensation from the Army

Of course it was willful negligence: many people knew that Hasan was a jihadi, but political correctness and fear kept them from doing anything about him. "Victims, Family Seek $750M For Fort Hood Tragedy," from The Associated Press, November 10

If someone killed one of the members of my family, I would be looking for blood not money. If I couldn't get at the perpetrator I would settle for someone from his or her family or community.

 

I'll be looking for both.

 

If these clowns win the lawsuit, they will be the largest terrorists of all (economically to the bankrupt USA).

 

i find it disgusting they are asking for that much. not only are they trying to bank off their family members death, but also gonna punish the whole (*)(*)(*)(*)ing military for the actions of some psycho muslim. i mean these guys had they lived wouldnt even had made $750 million in their lifetimes all put together.

it sucks that they died at the hands of a sick freak of a extremely violent religion as of late, but how can you truly justify this by hurting people who had nothing to do with it?

i mean come on, this is truly jacked up.

 

The penalty insures that they will deal with the next Muslim terrorist they discover properly for fear of being sued again.

 

if my family was killed, and the superiors knew of the culprits ideals, religion, and Jihad rhetoric I would want blood and a hefty sum of money.

 

yeah sure, after someone takes all this oney from the military then how the hell we gonna deal with it?

 

I agree the monetary compensation would not be on my mind either after loosing a loved one but how is killing or harming someone from his family or community in any way justified? Why would you do what he did?

 

Quite right, it's about teaching a lesson. If political correctness overrides all other concerns, then that's risk taking. If this risk taking borders on recklessness placing others' lives in danger, then you can't let the feelgooder think tanks who set the whole thing up and permitted the set of circumstances, get away with it scott free after what's done is done.

 

You've got to JAG up the heat in this case.

 

Good. Maybe they should consider profiling next time.

 

They will but it would be harsh to reject a person just because he loves the true version of Islam.

 

Yeah - if you do the math, each plaintiff (if that's the proper term here) is asking for approximately $90 million each.

However, it's typical that people ask for more than they expect to receive in a lawsuit. I expect the Army will end up paying significantly less money...

 

$9 million each is probably more likely. That's still pretty generous, all things considered.

 

Considering the scope of the attack, how many people who were killed/injured, and the number of families involved...I'm not actually shocked at how much the suit is worth.

The military made a huge and glaring mistake, they were negligent in dealing with the Major in his mental health crisis/islamic extremist tendencies, and dropped the ball in general on the entire issue.

Why shouldn't they pay for ther FATAL mistake?

 

That's what he said:

 

Does anyone really think money will motivate anyone in govt to do the right thing next time? Those responsible for keeping the man in uniform and not in a jail cell, should be fired and their pensions taken away. How is suing the govt going to punish them when no one in govt will actually suffer? There has to be personal responsibility for it to have any effect. People in govt have to be scared for their jobs for them to think twice about being PC about this sort of thing.

 

and i still think these people are truly (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)s for even daring to ask for that much. god (*)(*)(*)(*) if it was up to these freaking losers we wouldnt even have a military because they would want every god (*)(*)(*)(*)ed dime.

seriously asking for such an amount should be laughed out of court. lawsuit amounts should be serious, not completely out of this world. its not just raping our military, its also a waste of our tax dollars.

maybe at the most they should get $1million each family.

 

Although I don't like the idea of seeking monetary damages for something like this, I would welcome a civil trial that lays out and exposes how negligent the Army was in allowing Hasan carte blanche. All in the name of political correctness.

 

The tax payer shouldn't have to pay for other people's problems. Financing the legal system and military is expensive enough as it is.

 

by The Judge. An incompetent psychologist in no way justifies a taxpayer expenditure.

 

The victims should never have lost their loved ones by a well known Islamic Jihadist.

 

So, you want for the tax payers to donate free money to the far right extreme whenever some individual does a crime?

 

the people who lost their loved ones are far right? WHere did you read that?
