That's a given. I think OP's problem is the military basically accommodating an avowed Islamist by making a temporary exception to the rules so that he could make a spectacle of his "martyrdom" in court. Seems to me that considering the toughest punishment probably would involve another court-martial for some kind of insubordination charge, I think it's a trivial manner in the grand scheme of things. The "good doctor" most likely won't be seen or heard from again, and we're all glad for it.

Also, hopefully, between now and his, preferrably painful, death he is raped repeatedly with a broken broomstick.

Unique defense.

William T. Woodward is facing murder charges for the alleged shooting of three people on Labor Day, two of whom have now died. In his defense, his lawyer is not only making a novel legal argument that Florida’s Stand Your Ground law applies, saying he was protecting himself against “imminent death” because of an ongoing dispute between him and the men he shot. He also invoked the “Bush Doctrine,” the foreign policy Bush used to justify aggressive military intervention, to argue that pre-emptive attack can be a form of self-defense, Florida Today reports.

According to police, Woodward stealthily approached a Labor Day barbecue around 12:30 p.m. and fired 31 rounds. When police arrived, three men had been shot. Two died, while a third who was hit 11 times, survived. In the weeks leading up to the shooting, the neighbors had unsuccessfully tried to get “repeat violence” injunctions against one another. Woodward, a veteran who says he is being treated for psychiatric problems that prevent him from controlling his anger, was caught on surveillance video crawling on his belly toward the neighbor’s house. He told police afterward he considered himself on a “mission” and that he was in a “war zone,” according to WFTV.

So Florida is now a "war zone"?

It seems like this is more of a case of mental illness, probably mixed with PTSD from his time in the military. Pretty idiotic defense regardless.

Perhaps. But I didn't see anything about combat duty in the article. You can't get PTSD in the NCO club at Fort Leonard Wood. Regardless, the luckiest dude on the planet is the guy who got shot 11 times and survived!

Let's see. Three porn "actors" are HIV positive. And the porn "industry" has instituted a "nationwide" moratorium on production. And we're supposed to care about this why? There has been extensive coverage of this situation, with no explanation why anyone, outside of porn "actors" and "actresses" and their partners should care. It's a matter of significant concern for those folks, of course. But my question remains, why should ordinary Americans care any more about three HIV cases in a tiny, discreet group than they do about HIV cases in the population at large?
