Austin Strip Clubs: Radical cleric tied to shooting at base in Texas
Many questions remain about Hasan’s state of mind, though another revelation Monday added to the complexity of his character. The general manager of a strip club about a quarter of a mile from the mosque where Hasan prayed five times a day, and next door to the gun shop where he bought the pistol used in the shootings, said Hasan was a customer.
The club manager, Matthew Jones, said Hasan had been in the Starz strip club at least three times in the last month. “He’s been here, yes,” Jones said, confirming a report that first appeared on Fox News. Jones said that sometimes Hasan stayed for six or seven hours and paid for lap dances in a private room. His latest appearance at the club came in late October, one of the dancers said.
