Bye, bye, beardie
Ex-PH2 and FrostyCWO send us an NBC link to the report that Nidal Hasan, the convicted Fort Hood murderer is now clean shaven;
Maj. Nidal Hasan, the Army psychiatrist sentenced to death for the Fort Hood shooting rampage, has been forcibly shaved, an Army spokesman said Tuesday.
Now, Hasan is an inmate at the U.S. Detention Barracks at Fort Leavenworth, Kan., home to the military death row. Lt. Col. S. Justin Platt, a spokesman for military prison, said in a statement Tuesday that Hasan had been shaved. He did not specify when or provide details, however.
Too bad that they didn’t provide us with a video, but just knowing that his precious beard is gone makes me happier. Now if they can just put him on the fast track to the needle….

I was hoping that jihadi hasan would resist the effort and that the detention personnel doing the shaving would “accidentally” break what remains of his back, but hey that’s just me…
Good.
I will do the happy dance at least twice over this one.
It still troubles me that the media refers to him as “Major” Hasan. Wasn’t he demoted to Private E-1 and all pay forfeited and all that? The media should get it right.
It has begun. The murdering terrorist bastard is in Leavenworth and his special entitlements are no more. Make no mistake about this. His fellow inmates despise him too. They are highly unlikely to get to him physically but he can hear them, morning, noon, and night. And, of course, facial hair grows rather quickly, so if he doesn’t begin shaving himself, he’ll be forcibly shaved on a routine basis. And that won’t make his handlers happy. All in all, it is a stinking, miserable life for him with no prospects for it to improve whatsoever. Allahu Akbar, indeed.
@ ex-PH2
Happy Dance indeed!
No longer a major either
I am still betting that a movivated lifer, who despite his incarsiration, takes matters into his own hands.
20 bucks on ILRBGWPD method!
After, all the time we spent on Hasan’s Beard here at TAH … Yes a video of the “Shaving Party” would have been grand!
All I can say is, I hope it fucking hurt. Dry shaved, too?
Begging your pardon, Master Chief…what is “ILRBGWPD”, please?
@8: ILRBGWPD method? Never heard the term. Please define.
This is me doing my happy dance!… Zippity du da, zippity hey… Well you guys know the rest
@4 & 7: According to Article 71 of the UCMJ (http://www.au.af.mil/au/awc/awcgate/ucmj2.htm) he won’t officially get busted to private (technically, “dismissed”) until at least part of the appeal process has been completed, and the Secretary of the Army has approved the sentance.
So we’ve got a while to wait.
On the bright side, the forfeiture of all pay and allowances portion of the sentence appears to begin immediately.
They can call that sack of shit King Billie the Turd for all I care. Once that needle goes in his arm, it won’t matter one way or the other. Oh, and I am glad they shaved his crippled, sorry, numb ass too.
I think they should have shaved extremely close around his neck….. sharp end of straight razor at 90 Degree angle.
I hope he resisted. I really hope he resisted.
I hope they used a Ladies’ epillator, beard gone now, HAHAHAHAHAHA…
Good. Still frustrated that it all took so blasted long, but there is some measure of satisfaction that finally, FINALLY, he is operating within regs.
Ariel Castro dead, Hassan shaved, throw in a couple of dead robbers and this day will be just about perfect….
I hope they didn’t spend too much on the weed-whacker they had to use to initially trim that beard. Hell, I’d have been more than happy to lend them mine and save them the $$. Just bought a new spool of line for it, no less.
I wish I could have been there! And isn’t he an E1 now? Didn’t they award him forfeiture of rank?
NavyChief: technically, he still is a Major – reduction and dismissal are not yet effective. See link provided by Don H. in comment 13 above.
However, he’s still a prisoner in confinement. And as a prisoner, he can be forcibly shaved if he refuses to do so himself in order to maintain military standards of appearance.
I’m not buying it. The shaving would have been video recorded, to prevent abuse allegations — and I want to see it. That’s my tax dollars at work!
Hence forth just call him Major Fuck Up or Major Asshole. See he still has his rank odor about him.
“- and I want to see it.”
Hmmmmm. I’m thinking the USDB has an opportunity here for a pay-per-view way to recoup part or all of the cost of Hassan’s upkeep. I know I’d pay a buck or two to watch that.
And if he keeps refusing . . . . regular new episodes!(smile)

ROFLMFAO!!!
Here’s wishing him a long and miserable life in Protective custody. Alone in the dark, 23 and a half hours a day. The chances that he will be executed in my lifetime are very slim, based on the fact that no military prisoner has been executed since the 1960’s. Odds are that his health conditions will kill him well before he has to face the needle. He will have plenty of time to memorize the Koran but he will have no one to preach to. When he dies he will be a drooling, babbling, crazy man.
Having worked in a detention facility, I can tell you that #5 is correct. The other prisoners will despise him and take every opportunity to abuse him. Who do you think delivers his food and cleans his cell? He won’t see a tray of food that hasn’t been spit in or worse. He shits in a bag, and is verbally abused all day. It’s not enough, but it will do for now.
I’m still hoping they employ Sweeney Todd.
#27 – If the military needs help with the execution, I’m sure that Texas or Virginia would let PVT Hasan cut in line on their death rows.
“Bye, bye, beardie”
LOL good one
Wow, TWO awesome feel good stories to make me grin like an idiot this afternoon(after raging a bit on the Breanna story. Cracked my ass up on the headlines:
“Ariel Castro completes life sentence in record time”
and “Bye Bye Beardie”. Hell yes. Some great comments above too. Doubt this nozzle will give us the ending we’d like, but if there’s any truth to what 5, 27, and 28 posted, that’ll do. It won’t be enough, but it’ll do. Oh, and I’m a Virginia resident, so I hereby grant permission requested by 30.
I vote for Texas, their Death Row is an express lane!
I’m volunteering for the next shaving detail. I won’t hurt him, but he’ll damn sure think I’m gonna send him off to the Muslim Valhalla, I want him living in fear that death will take him on any terms but his own
Use that chemical paste they used to give to guys that had no shaving chits. It burned like hell and stunk to high heaven. Smear that gop on his face every other day, leave it for an hour or two.
I hope they had to drag him to the chair “kicking and screaming”….oops, I meant just screaming…too early?
