Twelve dead, thirty-one wounded, in Ft. Hood shooting.

My dad was stationed there. I went to high school in Lampasas, just up the road. I doubt I still know anyone there, because it's a mobile community, but it's still just a little too close to home.

I just... yeah.

Well, as Buffy would say, "I did not jump to conclusions. I took a tiny step and there conclusions were."

And I took the same tiny step. It wasn't too difficult. :(

Well. "Soldiers reported that the gunman shouted "Allahu Akbar!" — an Arabic phrase for "God is great!" — before opening fire, said Lt. Gen. Robert Cone, the base commander. He said officials had not yet confirmed that Hasan made the comment."

Yeah. Not even that tiny of a step. More like the conclusion jumped out from behind a door and mugged us.
