Shooting At Ft Lauderdale Airport

[HTRN]

nobody ever seems to respond by just telling those asshole voices to fuck off.

Imagine somebody screaming in your ear, 24/7 to do something, combined with a serious chemical imbalance in your brain, and you start to get an inkling of what they go through. I believe suicide is far more common among schizophrenics, than homicide, as an attempt to deal with the noise.

Ok, _not_ on my list of trusted sources... Would not pass muster under the Chris Media Ban. Still worth posting with that disclaimer for a crowdsourced vetting.

"Aashiq Hammad?"

...and this with reference to the NY Times where I do not see this quote in the linked article.

"Federal law enforcement officials investigated Santiago last year. He told FBI agents that he heard voices in his head that told him to watch Islamic State materials, but he said he was in control and had no intention of hurting anyone, according to The New York Times. "

Yep, seems he has a touch of Mussie: http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/201 ... media.html

Estaban Sanitago’s aka Aashiq Hammad journey to Islam goes back at least 10 years. His MySpace page is eyeopening. More news the enemedia ignores, censors, scrubs – thanks to Charles Johnson over Got News.
As for mental illness, that is now the default cover for Islam. It was “lone wolf” until the number of ‘lone wolves’ made the narrative ridiculous and absurd. Now Islam is a mental illness.

The reporting news station seems legit.

Did they get the quote wrong?
Or link to the wrong article?
Or <place tinfoil hat on head securely> has the NYT gone back and editted it out?

Nobody ever seems to get the voices in the head that tell them

MAINTAIN PROPRIETY IN PUBLIC.

Or

BE POLITE.

Or

IMPULSE CONTROL IS IMPORTANT

I have those voices. I call them my killjoy conscience.

You never met my mother.

Maybe they do, but those people never make the news?

Oddly that would rather increase my opinion of humanity so I'm open to the possibility. Not sure how to test it, though.

The simplest explanation is that the kid was a paranoid schizophrenic. He showed the symptoms, and he's the right age, especially for a few years of a developing problem.

My guess? The first symptoms started manifesting around the time he came back from Iraq. The timing caused it to be masked or blamed on his Iraq experience, PTSD/"broken vet" syndrome or whatever. Symptoms got worse, but he didn't tell anyone, and eventually he was discharged from the Guard in Alaska. Shortly after he walks into the Anchorage FBI office and says the CIA is controlling his brain.

Classic paranoid schizophrenia symptom, so he's refered to local authorities and put in a mental hospital, where he's evaluated, medicated and released. Whatever firearms he had were probably purchased prior to his trip to the mental hospital, and weren't taken away either because he didn't admit to having them, or just plain old bureaucratic inertia/inefficiency. Then he goes off his meds, and we know how that ended.

Violent behavior from paranoid schizophrenics is known to be rare.

They are far more likely to hide in their homes because the UPS guy has nefarious intentions than to try to fight the Illuminati. They're much more at risk of suicide more than going out to hurt other people.
