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.
Well, yes. Like attracts like.
No, he was not.
He enlisted in the National Guard in August 2016, and was discharged in September.
Maybe Homeland Security is investigating these guys for recruitment.
Radio news calling him an army veteran!
He was in for one month?! How did he get an honorable discharge?
CNN lightened his skin in their copy of the perp’s picture.
Another shooter investigated by FBI!
If they don’t make it through basic, they get an entry-level discharge, which in the absence of criminal behavior, is considered honorable.
It’s a bit much for the media (or most of the people) to understand the minute details
He’s wearing an arab caftan in military olive drab.
Computing....
Which probably means that he’s a BSer. That is, they start asking him who, where, and when he was being threatened and he can’t tell them anything. With a lot of these nuts, their story changes continually and they wind up being put on a 72-hour psych hold because they seem unbalanced. A lot of times, the cops don’t want to release them just to have them immediately go do something crazy but they just don’t have enough to hold them on anything either, hence the 72-hour psych hold. It can be a tough situation.
I’m seriously doubting this guy was ever in the military unless he washed out of boot camp and didn’t give his ID back.
FEDGOV on the ball, as usual.
If information true it speaks to ineptness of our FBI and Homeland
security to coordinate against terrorism. Let’s see guy confessed
To being recruited by ISIS , FBI sends to
Psychiatric hospital. Guy then is able to get on
Flight with gun and ammunition no alerts set off
He is also proved to be a member of The Men Who Ate Spinach.
Dude goes for help in November saying someone’s trying to program him to be a killer.
People say no way dude.
Dude shoots 5 in Junuary.
I just saw a link to the Daily Mail. So he was in the military for a year and was honorably discharged. That tells me that he probably got out on a psych. If he got kicked out for misconduct or just being an incurable F-up, it wouldn’t be honorable, it would be general or administrative or OTH (other-than-honorable) or something like that.
And from the story in the Daily Mail, it’s a lot more believable that he did this because he was pissed-off over an argument with people on his flight than he was being “forced” to fight for ISIS. There’s plenty of egghead volunteers, they don’t need to force people to do it.
And the hand sign.
Jihad
Gotnews is digging up a lot on the guy.
ISIS could be abducting people’s family members and forcing them to fight....
Less risk for ISIS cells, and after the attack they just kill the hostages for no witnesses....
