Man Tries to Send Flowers to Fort Hood Shooter
A day after the massacre at Fort Hood, Dan Ross of Lehigh Acres ordered a $59.95 bouquet of yellow roses.
They were not meant to honor the dead, but to soothe the alleged shooter.
In an e-mail order to Marvel’s Florist in Texas, the 61-year-old asked a note to be addressed to Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, the suspect who remains in intensive care at an Army hospital in Texas.
The florist didn’t complete the order, but alerted the FBI. Ross said the agency visited his home.
Why would someone do such a thing?
As a Christian, Ross said he is called to love his enemies and do good to them.
And as the reincarnated Apostle Peter, Ross said, the Holy Spirit told him to send the flowers.
“He a hero to the Muslim community,” Ross said of Hasan Tuesday night.
