Hassan strikes me as a sad, sick, lonely man. No social network to deal with his stress. He was on a downward spiral without the tools to rectify his situation. What gets me is the reports of his disjointed thinking, his inability to communicate, his mixing of fact and conjecture (ie religon) into his reports. He turned to islam for comfort.
It seems he reached a breaking point. He of course should be held accountable.
However, we as a nation should not react like scaredy cats, which was typical during the Bush administration. This incident does not warrant further intrusions into our rights. We should not overreact. Crimes like this while unfortunate are rare and unavoidable. Further intrusions on our rights will not solve it.
This guy was under investigation and surveillance. Though even that raises some concerns for me (i.e. Big Brother and all), but I will accept for now that the FBI etc have to do these sorts of things and that the invesigations were done legally.
But it seems from the evidence that people with experience on terrorism could not string the clues together that this guy was going to break and like it or not, it is impossible to determine that in advance. In hindsight the clues are obvious. But not so in foresight.

break? Fuck, I swear you guys come up with your victimization theories all of the time and are rarely right!
If the dude did just break down, do you think he'd have a gun in his home to penetrate kevlar and body armor? btw, he was sending money to pakistan too. This scumbag was living off 30,000 and sending upwards to $58,000 to pakistan. Oh I know, he was really trying to help the needy. Give me a break, I can connect the dots. He planned this like a soldier of allah.
If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck. I'll guarantee you it is a duck. Not to mention that Barak Huisane Obama removed the lone wolf provision from the patriot act. What a coincidence?
Let's not forget Allah Ackbar. Yeah right, I'm sure you said the same fucking thing when you were outside killing the ants in your backyard. He said the same thing every other terrorist says as he's mowing down people.
So repeat after me. Cheney was right. We aren't safe under the incompetent policies of Obama. Or is it the fact that you guys acted like a cat that just ate a mouse after 9/11 and saying that bush owned 9/11 well your liberal messiah owns this. There is no way around it, it was a terror attack on our soil because the liberal messiah made changes to policies that were meant to keep us safe.
