A GUNMAN who shot dead five people and injured eight others at a Florida airport “had walked into an FBI office claiming he was being forced to fight for ISIS”.
Esteban Santiago, the prime suspect in the mass shooting at Fort Lauderdale airport’s baggage reclaim, spoke to authorities about the terror group in November.
He told officials he was hearing voices in his head, some of which were telling him to join ISIS and watch their videos, and was taken to hospital for a mental health evaluation.
Santiago, who also told the FBI the government controlled his mind, gunned down 13 people at Fort Lauderdale airport today, killing five and injuring eight.
The suspect's aunt Maria Ruiz Rivera claimed the alleged shooter "lost his mind" while fighting in Iraq.

A converted Jihadi for ISIS - who would have guessed? I was sure it was going to be another white christian terrorist.
That whole watch list tihing is just for plausable denialability for thd lame FBI and Jeh!.
This guy is only the “prime suspect?” You mean it’s possible that someone else committed this?
“Santiago, who also told the FBI the government controlled his mind”.......
Anyone think this MIGHT BE possible? (Tin hat?) Nothing odumbo’s ilk would surprise me, NOTHING!
This is another to-do for the 1st 30 days of the Trump Administration - figuring out who and what went wrong such that this guy just walked away, and didn’t at least make it on a “watch closely if he flies” list. If not the full blown no fly list. If not the go straight to Gitmo list.
Apparently the FBI referral order for mental health treatment is known as a 5150, and people who have that order turn up in a background check are not permitted to buy guns. I don’t know if it affects them in any other way - probably not, although they should certainly be on a no-fly list.
He had probably gotten his gun before the episode with the FBI, which I think was only in November, so the order didn’t have any effect in his case. But we have very lax procedures governing the mentally ill who threaten violence, especially ideologically motivated violence. Dylann Roof was also known to be nuts, for example, but people just tolerated it and assured themselves that he “didn’t really mean it.”
The other thing that is possible in the case of Esteban is that ISIS really had picked up on him, knew he was psychotic, and actually was urging him to do a little bit of jihad for them.
President Trump.....turn the VA Hospitals into MENTAL HOSPITALS!!
Ephesians 6:12 (NIV)
12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.
The same FBI that claimed the Russians hacked the election, the same FBI that interviewed Ahmad Rahami and let him go as well who then went on to bomb New York city, the same FBI that accused an innocent man - Richard Jewell - of a bombing at the 1996 summer olympics yet let’s Jihadis go, the same FBI that interviewed Tamerlan Tsarnaev - the Boston marathon bomber - after the RUSSIANS told them he was a Jihadi and let him go ANYWAY.
It’s interesting data point that he claims the CIA was forcing him to watch ISIS videos.
Mentally unstable, 1 tour in Iraq during the lulls. Was he being groomed by the CIA and being converted into an asset that went wrong?
San Bernardino, Boston, Orlando...quite a few mooslim had contact with the feds just before going jihad.

While I doubt that the government controlled his mind, if it was possible, I would expect that Obambi and his ilk would try to use that capability to hurt America.
Don’t forget the DNC Hillary campaign operative that hired people to disrupt Trump rallies said on that video that he hired crazy people because he could get them to do anything! These type of people have been in positions of power for the last 8 or more years!
Dang! That FBI you are talking about sure doesn't sound as confidence-inspiring as J. Edgar Hoover's FBI (the one that the left belittled for so long). Sounds almost like a completely different FBI… almost like an FBI that would give classified information to some spouse who had arrived in the White House via Illinois and Arkansas.
Mr. niteowl77
Reports are that he was turned over to the local pd
There have been more than just this guy who has said the same about hearing voices telling them to do stuff like this.
I, like you, am beginning to think this may be something to look into.
Just a tinfoil cap, not a hat.
