AMN: A Federal Grand Jury has issued a 22-count indictment on the suspect that shot up the baggage claim area of the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport earlier this month. Esteban Santiago has been formally charged with 11 counts of causing death or bodily harm at an international airport, five counts of causing death during a crime of violence and six counts of using a firearm during a crime. None of the charges are terrorism related, despite Santiago claiming the attack was inspired by ISIS after being arrested. If convicted, Santiago could face the death penalty.
On January 6, 2017 Santiago opened fire on Fort Lauderdale–Hollywood International Airport in Broward County, Florida, after disembarking from a flight from Anchorage, AK. He retrieved his legally transported firearm from his checked luggage, loaded the firearm in the bathroom, then opened fire as he left the restroom, killing five people and injuring six others. After carrying out the attack, Santiago claimed that the shooting was inspired by videos and chat rooms affiliated with the Islamic State extremist group. Despite these assertions, none of the charges brought against Santiago are terrorism related. more
I think Trump will look into this. It’s sort of his forte on this subject. And then he’ll jam his foot down the judges’ throat till blood comes gushing out.
Tee hee hee.
After reading the whole article I am led to believe that anyone who ever set foot on Iraqi soil can claim PTSD. Missing from the story is whether or not the man saw combat, which might bolster a PTSD claim. A rear echelon supply clerk or mess hall guy who did time in Iraq doesn’t quite meet the PTSD threshold.
Muslim convert is more likely.
Ya can’t go throwing those terrorism charges around at just any old body. Ya gotta save those terrorism charges for the real enemies of national security like Dwight and Steven Hammond.
Why did this POS make it to a jail cell?
