And the Feds still don't know what the motive is for all of these attacks! Maybe they were all mentally ill?

A Kuwait-born man who shot and killed five service members in Tennessee suffered from depression since his early teen years and also fought drug and alcohol abuse, spending time in Jordan last year to help him clean himself up, a family spokesman said Sunday.
The representative, who spoke on condition of anonymity to avoid unwanted publicity, said relatives of 24-year-old Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez believe those personal struggles are at the heart of last week's killings at a pair of military sites in Chattanooga.
"They do not know of anything else to explain it," said the representative, who has been involved with the family since the shootings.
The claim fits a pattern of behavior by Abdulazeez that includes a drunken driving arrest earlier this year and the loss of a job over a failed drug test.
Abdulazeez had spent several months in Jordan last year under a mutual agreement with his parents to help him get away from drugs, alcohol and a group of friends who relatives considered a bad influence, the spokesman said
Counterterrorism investigators continue to interview Abdulazeez's acquaintances and delve into his visit to Jordan, looking for clues to whom or what might have influenced him and set off the bloodshed.

What is the name of the family spokesMuslim?
Have any high school friends talked about the depressed high schooler? Any college friends? He texted a friend before he let his depression overtake his civility. How many of the mentally ill mass killers of recent times had friends?
Of course. It's anything but the Islamic extremism, right? It just must be!
It's the radical Islam, stupid!
This guy sure got "cleaned up" by spending several months in Jordan, didn't he? How did his "rehab" work out?
My God! The depth of denial is just breathtaking!
The politically correct apologetics which the left-wing crowd is indulging in is becoming palpably negligent, and downright deadly. And this willful blindness is leading to needless loss of life.
It's the radical Islam, stupid!
We can't address this problem fully until we are totally honest about what it is.
It's the radical Islam, stupid!
It's not "family problems", depression, drugs, alcohol, or any other bullshit excuse.
It's the radical Islam, stupid!
Islam is demonic. Sometimes insanity is really demonic possession. This is Islam.
This excuse has been used by other families who have had their relatives get a case of Sudden Jihad Syndrome.
Muslims are permitted to do the most unethical and illegal acts as long as it forwards Allah’s agenda. It’s aka the ends justifies the means.
Their Allah - Satan - never had a son.
Yes, joining an insane death cult could well be a “mental health issue.”
Aw, diddums.
“The terrorists always have an excuse.”
So do illegals! I will bet you that this Taco Turd that shot the young lady to death in San Francisco, skates!
I think the American people, emboldened by Trump’s straight talk, aren’t going to buy the media’s usual line of BS anymore. Love him or hate him, one huge thing Trump has done is take on the media’s liberal bias and call these propagandists out.
Abdulazeez, who was shot and killed by police after a hail of gunfire, was first treated by a child psychiatrist for depression when he was 12 or 13 years old, said the family representative.
“He was medicated like many children are. Through high school and college he did a better job sometimes than others staying with it,” said the spokesman.
Several years ago, relatives tried to have Abdulazeez admitted to an in-patient program for drug and alcohol abuse but a health insurer refused to approve the expense, said the representative.
Recently, Abdulazeez had begun working the night shift at a manufacturing plant and was taking medication to help with problems sleeping in the daytime, the representative said, and he also had a prescription for muscle relaxants because of a back problem.
It’s unknown what substances were in the man’s system at the time of the slayings, but toxicology tests should provide an answer.

“”They do not know of anything else to explain it,” said the representative, who has been involved with the family since the shootings.”
Somehow it’s hard to get past the fact that if this guy had problems, how his family let him keep an AK-47! My bet is that this is simply yet another case of muzzies lying to save their asses. I mean it’s in the koran, right?
Excellent synopsis of the Obama administration!!! ;)
Conflicting descriptions of this brilliant, friendly, depressed, alcohol/drug-abusing engineer.
Sounds like the sweet young men who flew planes into buildings.
The gunman was depressed.
Nothing to do with islam.
How dare you suggest it, you racist!
islam is a religion of peace!
Not important enough to lower the flags to half staff.
Not like when the terrorist mandela died.
Like that pretty White girl that got her head blown off by a negro with a shotgun in Hollywood last week.
So sad.
Just random violence.
Nothing to see here, just move along.
We need more funding for mental health and the White Republicans won't open their wallets!
Howzabout Bruce...er.. I mean Caitlyn's dress? Wasn't he hot?
If you were drunk enough you might almost think...
There it is. Afraid of heights? Don’t fall asleep fast enough? Afraid of spiders? It’s not the enemy savages from the Middle East. More gun control for you.
And the GOP can’t understand why Trump is getting more and more support. He is the only one making the lying media the issue.
Bo Bergdahl is a Muslim convert like his parents, correct?
