Family spokesman: Mental health issues dogged shooter who killed 5

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.

Islam does that to people.

One can only imagine of the horror dumped on the planet as the madrasas continue to dump their deranged students out on the streets.... http://www.islam-watch.org/SujitDas/Madrasa.htm

He wasn’t depressed. He was propagandized.

“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.

Then he went to Jordan to get radicalized like many young adults do. Psychoactive drugs and religion do not mix, at the very least for those religions that believe in death to infidels.

However, unlike Trayvon and Michael, Abdul actually got it together and went to college. he did more than just telling his mom he was fixing to.

Obama has now ignored four terrorist attacks resulting in death of Americans.

It would seem that only an attack directly on Friends will get his real attention and active involvement beyond the political aspect

A lie, of course, but the media will run with it and make sure that every living human hears it, 5 times.

Generations of inbreeding turns them looney. Add islam and the result is what we see.

Yes, a defunct, dead, and defeated Confederacy had more to do with Dylann Roof’s actions than the present, ongoing, and aggressive “religion of peace”/s I hate these bastards! Why don’t these Muslim terrorists ever get as far as Sodom on the Potomoc? Would those louses-our “representatives” in DC-have anything worthwhile to say if their own were the victims-by “their own” I mean any members of the Uniparty and/or this rotten, evil administration?

I wouldn’t be surprised to see him get the mental insanity treatment, then released in time like the idiot that shot Reagan.
