What aggravates me most about this whole situation isn't that he's still getting paid, he hasn't been found guilty yet and when he is they'll recoup that money through liens and restitution. I'm not even upset that this has taken 4 years to come to trial. The most disappointing is that instead of charging him with Acts of Terrorism, or Violent Treason Resulting in Fatality, they are charging him with Workplace Violence. What does this do? It means that when found guilty, the victims and families of victims cannot receive any Survivor Benefits that they would had the US Govt charged him as a terrorist, which in my opinion he is. This reminds me of a quote by H.L. Mencken ~"Every decent man is ashamed of the government under which he lives."

^^^Yeah, I agree that he's a terrorist. It seems like America is so fixated on bombs being the only weapon of terror. Is a wacko who's hellbent on a holy war, killing numerous troops with small arms fire a terrorist? No way. Is killing a handful of people with a tea kettle at the Boston Marathon a terrorist act? Without question....
