Esteban Santiago, an Iraq war veteran who for reasons still unclear shot more than a dozen random travelers in an airport 5,000 miles from his Alaska home, lived just three blocks from a popular Veterans of Foreign Wars hangout. He never visited.
Santiago spent two years in Alaska, working as a security guard and National Guardsman... he didnt make much of a mark except with law enforcement from a string of domestic disputes with his girlfriend and mother of his infant son. But, increasingly, his life was falling apart.
Last January, he was arrested after roughing up his girlfriend, accused of trying to strangle her. In August, the National Guard booted him for unsatisfactory performance and unexplained absences. In November, he entered the FBI office reporting hearing voices in his head ordering him to watch ISIS videos, a confession that sent him to a state-run mental health center, but only for a short stay. -snip-
Federal investigators say they have found nothing on his computer or social media feeds to suggest any links to Muslim extremists and they have dismissed an unsubstantiated Internet narrative that Esteban had converted to the religion as a teen and had secretly become a radicalized terrorist.
His years in Anchorage also remain murky including why Santiago, who grew up in sunny Puerto Rico, chose to move to Anchorage, a city with freezing temperatures and long hours of darkness in the winter. His girlfriend has refused numerous requests for interviews and has avoided cameras ...
After an initial press conference on Saturday, local police, prosecutors and the FBI have largely refused further comment. The National Guard and Veteran Administration also clammed up on any interactions with Santiago. -snip-

Smells like fake news to me too...

Funny how they could have made that statement ~18 hours after he went on a bloody rampage.
The FBI had yet to retrieve his laptop from the Anchorage pawn shop where he had hocked it.
Just like they had thoroughly interviewed and the APD discovers his newborn baby in the parking-lot in the car, not frozen.
Obviously, they dumped him over to APD within a few minutes, Baby Pierre was fine.
False news. What other group “randomly” goes out and murders people. moozlums, that’s who. ...and they do it daily around the world. moozlums practicing their “faith”.

Certainly there’s an easier way to eliminate one observer of drug running than Friday’s bloody rampage. There’s got to be something more to it than that.
Oh there's lots more than that. Watch that reporter George Webbs videos. This is typical Dyncorp MO. They routinely mask some of their hits with other cover murders to mask and confuse the investigation. If they just whacked Prather then the potential for followup investigations is high, but they screwed up and Prather didn't die yet.

Seriously? That is a stupidly complicated assassination plan and it failed and the alleged assassin is in custody.
It’s Floriduh where you could fake death by armed robbers all day long and not get sniffed out by the local constables. But no, instead we’re gonna send a mind warped assassin from Alaska to do it in an airport baggage claim and involve every law enforcement agency the feds have and hope like hell our assassin and our mind warping doesn’t break. Yeah, that’s what we’ll do, because that’s how drug lords roll.

He wouldn’t be the first Puerto Rican to become a jihadi.
Jose Padilla - Abdullah al Muhadir was born in Brooklyn, NY -his role aiding terrorists led to a 21 yr. prison sentence.
“and early morning dew”
Agreed. While things are not always as they appear, this theory doesn’t fly.
From the last few paragraphs:
Since when does a US Senator (Bill Nelson), not law enforcement, be the one to so quickly release this terrorists Hispanic name but nothing about his more relevant Islamic background? the letter asks.
Obama must have told Sen. Nelson to keep this from looking like a Muslim Terrorist attack during the last 12 days of his watch. Bad for his legacy.
-”its better to portray this atrocity as white Hispanic Alaskan mental Iraq war vet gun violence. writes Jim Morlock.
“The letter poses interesting questions, including why this Muslim terrorist chose Ft. Lauderdale out of all the nations airports and who Santiago knows in Broward county, which has a large and growing Islamic community. There is now a blanket of silence over the arrest. “
This article by is most accurate- They HAVE NOT ruled out terrorism. Media lies.
Airport Gunman Charged, US Seeks Death Penalty
By Kelli Kennedy and Curt Anderson , Associated Press.
Fort Lauderdale, Fla Jan 7, 2017, 7:23 PM ET
.....Esteban Santiago, 26, told investigators that he planned the attack, buying a one-way ticket to the Fort Lauderdale airport, a federal complaint said.
Authorities don’t know why he chose his target and have not ruled out terrorism.
The only thing unclear is whether the writer Charles Rabin is retarded, brainwashed, or a liar.
Since the Boston bombiers we have found the FBI impotent in every instance. Good thing they are seriously working on the fake Russian hacking. Hint to the Fried Bros of Impotence.. they were emails, in other words, the inside scoop on the pedophillic demoncraps, in their own words.
