Parade of the Red Flags
| From the Corner. A quick summary of the number of times authorities were notified about Omar Mateen: |
- September 11, 2001 -- Omar openly celebrated 9/11 at school. School authorities notified.
- Spring 2007 -- Omar threatened to kill people at the training school he was at when his hamburger touched a piece of pork. Authorities escorted him out of school.
- May 2013 -- reviewed by the FBI after boasting to co-workers about ties to terrorist groups. Perhaps not a boast.
- Spring 2014 -- reviewed by the FBI again after a member of his mosque (130 worshippers, of whom two were splodydopes) kaboomed himself in Syria. Mateen had mentioned watching videos by Anwar al-Awlaki. We all know him.
- Spring 2016 -- Disney notified authorities because they thought Omar was conducting surveillance.
- May 2016 -- gun store owner called the FBI after Omar tried to buy body armor and large quantities of ammo.
| As Jim Geraghty says, "And government officials wonder why people think they should to own a gun to protect themselves!" |
| Not to mention the rather high profile Mateem's father has enjoyed for many years. |
