The brother of a man accused of killing five people at a Florida airport questioned Saturday why his brother was allowed to keep his gun after U.S. authorities knew he’d become increasingly paranoid and was hearing voices.

Speaking in Spanish outside his family’s house in Penuelas, the brother said: “The federal government already knew about this for months, they had been evaluating him for a while, but they didn’t do anything.”

In recent years, Esteban Santiago — a new dad — had been living in Anchorage, Alaska. But there were signs of trouble.

Esteban told FBI agents in Alaska that the government was forcing him to watch Islamic State group videos, a law enforcement official said Friday. The official was not authorized to discuss an ongoing investigation by name and spoke on condition of anonymity.

The FBI office in Alaska, which declined to comment ahead of a Saturday news conference, interviewed Esteban Santiago and then notified police, who took him in for a mental health evaluation.

True true brotha.

Esteban told FBI agents in Alaska that the government was forcing him to watch Islamic State group videos, a law enforcement official said Friday.

Its an Obama executive order. All military must watch isis videos and do Muslim prayers.

Thanks Obama

What is untrue about the guy's statement:

"The federal government already knew about this for months, they had been evaluating him for a while, but they didn’t do anything."

This is a sad, sad story. Dude was nuts. And for whatever reason, no one could/did stop it. Remember the kid that attacked his politician dad? And that father did try everything at his disposal. The vt shooter was a nut, sandy hook dude was a nut, woman tased and died in ffx city custody was out of it. We need to figure out a better way of dealing with seriously mentally ill people.

Maybe 30 or 40 years ago that may have been the case, but not today. Since the Gulf War, all branches of the military are considered part of the Total Force. There is no "easy payday" in the Guard or Reserve because Guard and Reserve members have to meet the same standards and fulfill the same training requirements as active duty troops, and they have less time to do so.

The Guard and Reserve are not really part-time anymore either, with respect to both units and individual members. Guard and Reserve units and individual members are integrated into the total force and perform the same missions alongside the active duty component. Very often they perform those missions better than their active duty cohorts.

The Air National Guard has 31 percent of the Air Force’s total strike fighter capability, 38 percent of the Air Force’s total airlift capability, and 40 percent of the Air Force’s total air refueling tanker fleet. About half of the Air Force Aeromedical crews are AF Reserve. Nearly all the Combat Communications capabilities of the Air Force are provided by the Guard and Reserve.

A New York National Guard unit flies the only ski-equipped LC-130's in the world and provides the entire Antarctic transport mission for the United States. From October through March, about 500 Air National Guard members deploy for 30–60 days each, working two 12-hour shifts six days each week, running supplies and people to field camps across the continent and the South Pole station.

The DC Air National Guard is responsible for defense of the US Capital region and is on alert 24/7, every day of the year. It is the most active air defense unit in the world and has responded to over 4,000 alerts since Sep 2001 (more than all other air defense units in the AF).

No wonder we can't whip anyone's ass anymore.

All of Iraq, Iran, and Afghanistan should have been turned to glass immediately after 9/11, yet here we are still fucking around with a bunch of untrained camel jockeys who fight wearing pajamas.

Seven day shitters and slippers work great in a shithole desert.

Except for the President on Air Force One, all the military's VIP transport flights are courtesy of the Air National Guard, the 201st Airlift Squadron at Andrews.

Whenever a VIP from the Executive Branch (Vice President, First Lady, etc), Congressional Members, Department of Defense officials and high-ranking U.S. and foreign dignitaries takes a military flight, it is with the 201 ALS of the DC Air National Guard. Their mission is 24/7, 365-days per year, and the pilots, crew, and maintenance people are all members of the National Guard.
