The Ft. Hood shooter should get life in prison.

I do not feel that Nidal Hasan should get the death penalty BECAUSE it would not be fair. When an American kills a Arab, he gets away with it and at the most gets life in prison. Take the soldier who raped and murdered a 14-year-old Iraqi girl, her little sister and parents. He got life in prison. A Blackwater guard who along with 4 other Blackwater guards killed 17 unarmed Iraqi civilians will have the charges against him dropped after US prosecutors asked for that. An Arab life is worth just as much as an American so let's treat them that way is all I'm saying.

Thank you myndseye! All other responders should read her response to understand what's really going on inn the justice system of this country. All of you know and maybe just don't give a damn that minority members get harsher punishments than white Americans; this is WRONG. No way to argue against that unless you're a prejudiced person.

If he deserves the death penalty than so do the white men who murdered all those innocent Middle Easterners. I can't believe anyone would argue against this! If you believe that American lives are more precious than other nationals' lives, you should be ashamed of yourself.

People, let's get real. You know damn well that an American can murder a minority group or foreigner and get a light punishment. This is far less likely to happen if the tables are turned and it's an American that's killed. I don't think that's right! How can anyone? A life is a life!

I meant minority group member.

I'm sure istillhatescreennames thinks Americans are superior to Arabs and that it's not such a big deal if an Iraqi or Afghani is murdered. Something is seriously wrong with that man.
