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.

I think a psychotic, not a terrorist.

Also, not my area of law, but I think a history of involuntary commitment to a psychiatric facility is a bar to purchase at a FFL, but not to private sales or possession.

We have to try to be one step ahead of them.

Yeah, I remember when it was Vietnam vets that were being portrayed as nuts all over the place. The media was completely blowing off the fact that drug use, domestic violence, and other crimes were being committed by Vietnam vets at a MUCH LOWER rate than the national average. Same thing is going on now with Iraq/Afghanistan vets. We’re being told that they’re all a bunch of nuts with PTSD that come home and go on mass-shootings. It’s completely assinine.

CNN can say definitively (Erin Burnett show) that he was just mentally troubled and it had nothing to do with terrorism.

Oh - and the FBI did not do anything wrong

Thought it odd when Nelson rushed in front of the cameras so quickly with the name. Now it is clear they were trying to get ahead of the news to hide the muslim connection. I am behind on reading, this may have been answered already, but it was stated there was not a passenger on the plane with the name of Esteban Santiago. Did he fly under his muslim name?

I remember it well.

Guys from my unit were routinely discriminated against after discharge.

One, applying for a job at a major NYC advertising agency, had to get a letter from me that, while under my command, he had never used drugs, killed a Vietnamese, etc.

When I wrote back that he had never killed an Vietnamese who was not bearing arms against him, they refused to employ him.

I had to get one of my then-law school profs, a veteran of Anzio, write a letter threatening all sorts of litigation. They relented and hired him.

Well, at least you’re not an unemployed, pregnant, single man.

Lord knows you couldn’t afford to feed another mouth under those conditions...

No, what was stated was there was no one with his name on AirCanada. That’s because he did not fly out of Canada.

It’s pretty far fetched, but if he somehow managed to Father someone while serving in Iraq, there is a remote possibility he could be telling the truth.
