What? Surely They Jest?

 Judge in trial of Fort Hood jihad mass murderer removed for bias for requiring shaving of his beard

What the hell is wrong with this place?  The regs are clear, Nidal needs to shave.  To rule so makes the judge biased?  To follow the rules makes him unable to be objective in interpreting the law?  The Court of Appeals is the one not able to be objective.  They are far too interested in appearing pro Muslim to actually care about the law.  Sure, the article says the ruling isn't necessarily negated, but the message to the next judge is clear... be a dhimmi or be dismissed.  

It is consistent that the courts are always far more concerned about the rights of the criminal than the rights of the victim or the victim's family.  Or for that matter, the future victims.  Sure, they are accused not convicted until the end of the trial, but to coddle them to the extent the courts do ensures justice is seldom actually achieved.  I don't want medieval justice, just a reasonable time frame and reasonable treatment.  There really isn't any question as to Nidal's guilt here, the only question now is can the slimebag defense attorneys find a way to cheat the families of the people he murdered of any closure or justice.  

The man who shot Gabriel Giffords has already been tried and sentenced.  That was just a year ago.  Nidal's trial hasn't even begun for the murders he committed over three years ago.  Gee, I wonder why?  Could it be that the victims are unimportant to the legal system?  Or perhaps there are things that will come out in the trial that will prove to be an embarrassment to the Army, and others.   Certainly the Army did everything it could to ignore the mounting evidence of Nidal's growing radicalism.  Perhaps they are more interested in covering their own iniquities than in justice for the slain, or protection for the living.  Typical.
