Anchorage police contact with Santiago: at least four physical disturbances from January - October. The first resulted in an arrest warrant.
November 7, he goest to the FBI with his story. After being released from the hospital for mental health observation or treatment, he tried to get the gun back November 30. His gun was released to him December 8th, 30 days after it was seized.
Qupqugiaq Inn where Santiago stayed when not at the girlfriend's house is $60 per night, and near the airport.
Bunch of people need to be fired. This guy had mental issues, has an Islamic name, was apparently Islamic, claimed some twisted affiliation, and so forth. That he ad adopted Islam should have been enough to put him on no-fly list, the rest? Incredible competence.
Isn’t interesting how quickly this information came out? Within minutes of the shooting, Sen. Bill Nelson (RAT-FL) was already out there spouting this stuff.
Oh, they don't know? Not buying it. No sale.
I tried a divorce case once where possession of three guns was an issue. I played a voice mail of the husband in which he threatened to kill not only his wife but me. The judge awarded him the guns. Fortunately I had had the guns taken to a gun store for storage by my then partner who was/is rabidly anti-gun. LOL So he’s a registered gun owner for life but I digress.... and it took about six months for this former partner through hearings involving the gun shop owner to get the guns back to the ex-husband. And also fortunately the ex-husband got back on his meds.
So either the FBI and DHS are preposterously incompetent,or they are COMPLICIT!!!.
This animal walked into an FBI office and stated that he had jihadist tendencies-STRIKE ONE.
This guys employer reported him to the FBI-STRIKE TWO.
Who the hell is responsible for maintaining the no fly/terror watch list, and what exactly do you have to do to get on it, because obviously this scumbag, a known jihadist mental defective with military training , was allowed to fly FROM ALASKA TO FLORIDA WITH A GUN AND AMMO!!!-STRIKE THREE
Heads need to roll, this is not going to get swept under the rug, NOT THIS TIME!!!!!
What year was that and what state?
The FBI appears to be unable to search social media to evaluate threats. FR posts are quite clear that the guy was a developing threat.
Long ago in a galaxy far far away. :-D Frankly I don’t remember the year.
What in tarnation does this mean? He went into the building and left his newborn in the vehicle? Or was he accompanied by his newborn?
Uh huh.
The “gun” part of this terrorist attack is kind of a non issue with me. When someone has made up their mind to do something like this, they will find a way. The means is the easy part. Had this guy not had a firearm, he would either have purchased one, stolen one, used a motor vehicle,home made bomb instead,etc. The biggest loss of life due to a terrorist attack was perpetrated with box cutters. Most people in this country live in densely populated areas. It is easy to come up with a means to kill a number of people. And in some cases, it can’t be prevented, although tighter restrictions on who gets in the country, along with better evaluation of those who have been detained would help..IMHO..
Mining down even deeper, the real cause of 911 was D.C. loser leadership and their terrible reckless chain immigration policies, after we'd already been attacked and repeatedly threatened by these same people and their terrorist organizations. Also see the brutal San Bernardino Christmas party massacre where government again literally imported mass murdering terrorist into our towns and cities.
My point is you’re correct, the weapon is a lesser factor, but government’s reckless dangerous chain immigration policies are at the heart of many of these brutal attacks. Not to mention the more they welcome in, the more they’ll convert easily influenced individuals.
Good post.
If we have to have “no fly lists” and “background checks” to fight terror and protect the snowflakes while we exercise our rights, we should also be sincere enough to put any individual on those lists for terrorism and or mental health crises.
PTSD makes sense here but more than likely schizophrenia seem to be at play and if we cannot have mental health professionals take the steps to add his name to the list of people who cannot have a gun, or get his gun back from police confiscation, then the background check process makes no sense.
Alaska dropped the ball here, but almost everywhere our government seems to show a very unserious side when it comes to rooting out this evil. Can we really place all the blame on the present administration? Is Alaska a sanctuary state for Islam?
Note: He tried to get the gun back from LEO on Nov 30. DJT was headed to Palm Beach for THX & Christmas. Anchorage police made Santiago wait until Dec 8 for his gun.
Dec 8- A plane ticket booked 2 weeks before Christmas would have been near impossible. Likely, $1,800 or more to S. Florida, assuming he could find one. The flights were already sold out from Alaska, so maybe Santiago booked the first ticket available that he could afford to Florida. Palm Beach would have been sold out, as well.
Frustrations upon him, Trump is long gone. So he goes to his -plan B. Shoot-up whatever he could since it was seeded in his head and he felt compelled to act.
That is one plausible theory on why he chose Ft. Lauderdale airport. And perhaps he meant to target Palm Beach airport, but couldn’t afford or find a ticket to that destination.
Also-If he has been paying attention to islam for at least ten years, Santiago may have known that 15 of the 19 terrorists lived and plotted in South Florida the year prior to 9/11/01. Mohammed Atta lived in Delray Beach. Maybe he FLL as unfinished business, who knows.
It would be great to know when he had purchased his plane ticket. Or if he had attempted to book one for Thanksgiving weekend and how he paid for the ticket. That is key.
It would explain why Santiago is not saying why he chose a South Florida airport.
Interesting.
I’m not sure it would have been that hard to book a ticket during that time frame. Our son managed it.
