The other day
I wrote this upon learning that the Fort Hood shooter looked like he'd survive his wounds:
I guess I could accept a remaining life full of painful debilitating injuries from the shooting.
And then hell.
Still wouldn't be justice, but it would be a start.
Well, sometimes you
get your wish:
The accused Fort Hood gunman is paralyzed and likely will never be able walk again, his lawyer said Friday.
Attorney John Galligan said Maj. Nidal Hasan's medical condition remains "extremely serious" and "it appears he won't be able to walk in the future."
Jim Treacher adds this via Twitter:
The good news is that Hasan is getting his 72 virgins. The bad news is that they're at the top of that staircase.
Justice will be very slow and painful in this case.

I had a few suggestions earlier about how his execution would be conducted. I overlooked the most obvious:
The all-volunteer (naturally) squad would be made up of women soldiers.
Departing from the ususal custom of having one weapon with blanks (so each person could think that maybe they didn't actually kill someone), there would be no blanks (so each woman would know she did).
...And at the top of that staircase, may each of the 72 virgins look like Yasser Arafat.

Is the lawyer the same one who got the Lockerbie bomber out because "he'll be dead in 3 months"?
It's his story; I'll need verification.
Oh. ZZMike, those bullets should be lubed with lard and the target on him be slice of ham.
