Salesman Frederick Brannan would later say, quote, "'His initial interest was in the most high-tech handgun we had.'" I wasn't the salesman talking to him that day, but the guy who did showed him the gun and gave him some information on it. Major Hassan left and came back the next day. He had researched the gun on the internet. He wanted to buy that one, an FN57.

We showed him how to load it, how to operate it, take it apart for cleaning, and so on. He videotaped everything on his cell phone so that he could review it later. I've never seen anyone do that before. But the impression that we had was that he was an army major and that he wasn't into any kind of sports like target shooting. This was something new and he was interested in doing it all right.

I don't want to use a term like egghead, but when you have somebody who has absolutely no experience with something and they decide to get into it, they're immediately in over their head and they do things to try and catch up. That's what he did, so we went along with it." End quote.

Soon enough, it seemed as if Nadal had a pretty good routine in Killeen, Texas. Every morning, he left his apartment around 5 a.m., went to the mosque for prayer, and then he grabbed breakfast at the local 7-Eleven convenience store before arriving for a shift at the Darnell Medical Center. But things would only get worse from here.

On August 16th, his apartment complex informed him that someone had vandalized his Honda Civic. One of Nadal's neighbors, a man named John Van D. Walker, was walking outside of the apartment complex when he noticed Nadal's car with a bumper sticker that read, quote, Allah is love.

Apparently, the bumper sticker offended John, so he decided to rip it off the Civic and then used his own car keys to scratch it up. When Nadal found out about this, he immediately called the Killeen Police Department, and ultimately, John Van D. Walker was arrested for criminal mischief. Now, this is clearly a hate crime and completely unacceptable, and sadly,

This wouldn't be the only instance where Nadal was targeted. He also had his car keyed at work, and it was very clear that it was due to his ties with the Islamic community. Now, moving from Washington, D.C. to a conservative town in Texas was an adjustment, to say the least. He was definitely not as accepted here.

However, Nadal told colleagues of his that he forgave the people who did this to his car.
