Hasan: 'I switched sides'

The Army psychiatrist charged with killing 13 comrades and wounding more than 30 delivered his own opening statement in his court-martial Tuesday, declaring, "I am the shooter."

Maj. Nidal Hasan is charged with 13 counts of premeditated murder and 32 counts of attempted murder in the 2009 massacre at Ford Hood, the largest U.S. Army installation. Testimony in his long-delayed court-martial began Tuesday morning at the post, with Hasan representing himself.

"The evidence will clearly show that I am the shooter," Hasan told the panel that will decide his fate. "The evidence presented with this trial will show one side. The evidence will also show that I was on the wrong side. I then switched sides."

    Evidence will show he was on the wrong side? Then he switched sides? Oh no no no...we should not show any racial profiling here, especially when he's on trial like this. Seems like he's in a deep enigma. Does this greaseball stupid f___ even know what planet he's on?

    Looks crazy enough unlike other mass murderers who we were unfortunate to also look at recently who appeared smug and content. Or cocky like the Norwegian.
    Swift judgement and execution is the only punishment that comes to mind for this perp.
