I don't think we should be too concerned if he's more crazy than terrorist.

I think that's likely the case, but who knows. My main driving factor is that more terrorist than nutjob likely wouldn't go complain about ISIS controlling his thoughts to the FBI.

But either way, the narrative is the same. He's either a true believer, or he's a nutjob and the ideology of radical Islam is so dangerous that it can aggravate mental illness to acts of terror.


I'm not one to shy away from attributing acts of violence to Wahhabism, but I really do think this guy was just off his rocker, and if it hadn't been Islamism, it would have been something else.

The guy was in the Puerto Rican National Guard in a support unit in a relatively calm part of the war. I doubt he ever saw a day of actual combat, and he's claiming PTSD.

He's schizo.

This is the point we all will miss in this. (And it's not the first time the FBI has dropped the ball in complete wtf ineptitiude.) Seriously, is the FBI/Police run by Barney Fife nowadays or what? Are there too many agencies? To: the point that the left hand doesn't know what the right (DHS) hand is doing?

The shooter – whose troubled behavior had already drawn the attention of the FBI, Army, and Anchorage police – arrived Friday afternoon at the busy airport on a flight from Alaska, with the gun used in the shooting properly stored in his checked baggage, NBC News reports. Police had taken the gun the month before after the FBI encounter but returned it.
