The Orlando shooter, Omar Mateen, was one messed-up individual his whole life, according to the details emerging during the investigation.
Starting in elementary school, long before ISIS exposure, he was kicked out of several schools due to aggressive, threatening, and sexual behavior towards other students and teachers.
He was kicked out of the police academy after making comments about wanting to martyr himself, and then tried to claim he was discriminated against because he was Muslim.
He worked at the BP oil spill as a security guard and was interviewed on camera; he ranted about how it was all about money, everybody was lazy, etc...
He went to the small Pulse gay club many times over several years, and he was reportedly pursuing transexual women and gay men on dating apps since 2007.
A gun store owner claims that Mateen came to the store to buy soft and hard armor and a high volume of ammo the week before the massacre at Pulse. The gun store owner said he was suspicious and turned Mateen down. Mateen called someone and was speaking in another language before he left and the gun store owner called police. The owner didn't have a name or surveillance, so it didn't go anywhere.
Mateen was texting his wife while he held hostages in the bathroom of the Pulse club, in the midst of his massacre. He asked her if she'd seen the news. She replied that she loved him.
He called a tv station in the midst of his crimes. He was also checking out Facebook and social media to see if he was trending on-line.
His phone and computer records should really be of help to LE. If he was the guy at the gun store, who did he call? Who was he in contact with regularly? Are there incriminating casing photos/videos and communications with his wife and others?
