Law enforcement said he was found with an active military ID and is an American citizen, born in New Jersey. Previous known addresses include Penuelas, Puerto Rico and Anchorage, Alaska.

They add that in November 2016, he walked into an FBI office in Anchorage claiming that he was being forced to fight for ISIS. He was sent to a psychiatric hospital.

In 2011 or 2012, he was investigated by Homeland Security Investigations for child porn. Three weapons and a computer were seized, but there was not enough evidence to prosecute, according to law enforcement sources.

My Spanish kinda sucks but looks like this guy did something 13 minutes long. Don't know if it's about isis, islam or what but 13 minutes is of anything takes some coherent thought.

initially found Comment site where an Esteban Santiago commented on Islam @STSTWO then this utube links below @janinegrand @iamleahmaria

He was a passenger on a flight traveling with a checked gun in his baggage, said federal law enforcement officials, who asked to speak on the condition of anonymity to discuss the ongoing investigation. The officials said that Santiago had picked up his bag and took the gun into the bathroom to load it before returning to the baggage claim area to begin firing at people.

..................

So here we have the WaPost, a card carrying DBM publication, quoting an unnamed law enforcement source that the gun was on the flight and that shooter picked it up, went to the bathroom, loaded it and than started shooting.

Maybe. But, I'd rather have cameras proving all that which should be everywhere there except the bathroom of course. I just don't trust anything the WApost says. Could have happened the way they say but then again its the Post....

It does look like the govt was involved with him. Why wasn’t he prosecuted for the supposed criminal offenses ? Did they blackmail him ? Lots of questions to be asked.

Or either he wants everyone to believe he was crazy. The Trump administration needs to fight that Muslims are a terrorist group , not a religion. That way they wouldn’t be allowed to build mosques or so called worship in the US.

The “mosque thing” is even more complicated now for the US.
Seems some of the muzzies anticipated a blowback on using mosques for terror hideouts. So now they are building “islamic centers”.Bigger and better hideouts for terror types.

“I just don't trust anything the WApost says. “

Neither do I but however you cut it the gun was accessed in the restroom either by him directly or “dropped off” and he came out blasting.

it’s perfectly legal to fly with a gun in checked baggage. I do it all the time as a CHL holder. multiple guns in fact I typically fly with a Sig 229 and a Keltec P3AT unloaded in a locked padded pistol safe and 4 boxes of ammo two each. magazine unloaded in the pistol safe bullets in a separate locked case per TSA regulations. when you check it in you fill out the paper work and they tag your bags with a red fragile tag which actually means firearm inside. when you arrive your bags come out the baggage claim like anyone else’s bags no special claim area. If this guy was a chl and had checked his guns they would have come out in baggage claim he could then take the bag to the bathroom open it load the gun and put it in his pocket all legally as the claim area is not the secured part of an airport and your chl license allows you to conceal carry in the unsecured areas of an airport. when I fly I load up in the bathroom and CHL carry to the rental car pickup all perfectly legal provided the state has reciprocity with my Texas chl license.

Hope this wasn't a planned distraction; hate to think what might have been smuggled past check points during the kaos.

You don’t know Florida law and your legal advice could get you or others is big trouble.

I never said legal advice I said what I personally do on a regular basis, the two are not even remotely the same thing. I can and will ignore laws that I deem to be unenforceable or the penalty low enough to justify the risk reward equation. following legal advise off an internet forum is a fools act, but since I never said legal advice and only stated what I personally do it is irrelevant. The pertinent Florida statues are publicly available and someone posted then farther up the thread.
