  1. Why is it that he has the typical lifeless, soulless, creepy eyes of a murderer. He appears to be full of hate and rage towards everybody and everything. And if the death penalty is ever applied towards him he should be shot, hung, put in a lethal gas chamber, electrocuted or beheaded with a guillotine and not put to sleep with a lethal injection, and it should be immediately carried out on pronouncement of his guilt.

  2. It has become very clear once again that this poor benighted idiot was a tool in the Obama administration’s plans. The FBI knew about him and his tendencies but did nothing about them. It is as if they put the gun in his hand and the idea in his head to do what he did! And now, on schedule, we again hear a cacophony of noise about more gun control from the usual traitors and tormentors of our republican system!

  3. Here we go again. The MSM is going to go into one of its compassion circle jerks where they try to outdo one another into understanding the the motives of this poor tortured soul. Yeah, that will serve as a deterrent to the next guy who wants to kill himself and take strangers down with him

    Of course, if the media were to ruthlessly and endlessly mock this POS in the most vile way imaginable, that might make an impression on the next kid thinking of going out in a blaze of glory.

    But no, they only do that to people who richly deserve it; like white male gold medal winners who were victims of armed robbery

    They DID put the gun in his hand. Literally:

    On Nov. 7, Esteban Santiago parked at an FBI office in Anchorage, Alaska — leaving his newborn son and his gun in the car — and told agents the CIA was trying to control his mind, pushing him to watch Islamic State terrorist videos.

    The feds called local police, who took Santiago into custody and sent him to get a psychiatric evaluation. Santiago’s girlfriend picked up the baby. The cops took the gun — and a loaded magazine Santiago carried on him.

    He got the gun back 31 days later. Twenty-nine days after that, one-way plane ticket in hand, Santiago hopped on a flight that brought him to Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport. He picked up a Walther 9mm gun he’d checked in as luggage, loaded it in a men’s room stall, and shot 11 people, five of them to death.

  5. Death my ass. Put that fukinmuzzie POS in solitary confinement for the rest of his life it no TV, Quran, prayer rug…NOTHING! Don’t even tell him which way EAST is, let him rot not become a MARTYR!
