Airport shooting suspect 'lost his mind' after Iraq tour: Aunt

The man police say opened fire with a gun from his checked baggage at a Florida airport had a history of mental health issues — some of which followed his military service in Iraq — and was receiving psychological treatment at his home in Alaska, his relatives said Friday after the deadly shooting.

“Only thing I could tell you was when he came out of Iraq, he wasn’t feeling too good,” his uncle, Hernan Rivera, told The Record newspaper.

Esteban Santiago, 26, deployed in 2010 as part of the Puerto Rico National Guard, spending a year with an engineering battalion, according to Guard spokesman Maj. Paul Dahlen.

In recent years, Santiago had been living in Anchorage, Alaska, his brother, Bryan Santiago, told The Associated Press from Puerto Rico. Bryan Santiago said his brother’s girlfriend had recently called the family to alert them to his treatment.

In November, Esteban told FBI agents in Alaska that the government was controlling his mind and was forcing him to watch Islamic State group videos, a law enforcement official said. The official was not authorized to discuss an ongoing investigation by name and spoke Friday on condition of anonymity.

He pretty much threw himself at security once his last clip was spent. Not typical jihadi behavior, maybe he’s only half-jihadi.

I missed the part in the article where he converted to Islam. Is it posted somewhere else?

Of course, I remember the DC sniper captor. They reported instantly that he was a military veteran. It was hours or even days later before the Islamic connection was reported.

He joined the military just as the schizophrenia began to fester in his life. Once a mental condition was noticed all access to guns owned already or other guns should have been left with this guy.
Schizophrenics have a total logic disconnect and when they attack they feel it was justified in their minds. Hardest thing is keeping them medicated.

Know what you mean. Today is the death anniversary of my mom’s dad in 1926, my dad in 1984 and my mom in 2007. It has been hard.

Just another islamic retard that should have been aborted once his unattended and miserable useless life was set on course.

Who is is mother? Who is his father? Why did they allow this satanic creature to evolve? Who are his moronic relatives that defend him and his evil?

These kind of filthy creatures should never be allowed to grow into their evil selves. Sterilize islam and all other future evil breeders.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Obama was indeed behind a program to brainwash veterans to kill again back home, sounds just like a twisted homo islamo fascist petty man type of a game.

John Muhammad.
= = = = = = = = = =
OH!! That John Muhammad...

The white racist who was running around the DC area in a white van or pickup or flatbed or dumptruck or SUV or box truck.

These the same orgs that ID’d the ‘snipers’ that were investigating the Boston Bombers and picked up the data that Russia manipulated the election?

No wonder Russia laughs at us. THEY gave us the Boston group and we did virtually nothing about it....

The FBI and the entire FEDGOV security apparatus are a bunch of useless imbeciles who are capable only of collecting a paycheck.

Protecting US citizens from muslim terrorists and the Chinese from stealing the security clearance info of MILLIONS of Americans?

They really SUCK at those things.

They TELL LIES REALLY GREAT THOUGH!

ISIS teaches terrorists to claim that they have mental illness to cover jihad attacks.

New mantra to deny Islamic terror: ‘Mental illness’

Or Dissociative Identity Disorder (Multiple Personality Disorder)? Via induced trauma where the original nice guy personality is not even aware of a trained assassin personality (or sexually abused personality) existence in the person. And likely neither are the person’s family or friends etc. aware of the one of many personalities split from the original on purpose and for purposes of evil.

Until a triggering sign, word(s), tone, time or code etc. is given causing one of the evil personalities to come to the surface for a time.

I am not sure if this is same as Manchurian candidate but it seems very similar. It is reported we have a fourth generation of these programmed people with sodomized kids as young as eight years old showing split personalities in America. One researcher mentioned an estimated 10 million in America including all four generations starting with the first generation who are in their 60s and 70s now (if alive still).

His surname might have been Muhammad, but it had nothing to do with the peaceful religion of Islam. Or, so we were supposed to believe.

—— Hernan Rivera-—

Although some believe the man is related to Whorealdo, the precise connection has not been revealed. However since Whorealdo is a far left sympathiser, he can not be disassociated from the terrible incident
