According to some former classmates of Orlando terrorist, Omar Mateen,
he terrorized his Florida grade school – Mariposa Elementary by bullying
students and threatening to go on a shooting spree in school. He
constantly bullied others and once told a group of kids at their school
he was going to bring a gun to school and kill everyone. When it became
clear that he didn’t sound like he was joking, they immediately told a
teacher, and Mateen was suspended for 2 weeks.
According to his
classmates who have granted interviews after the club massacre, his
behavior issues continued into middle school and he also threw chairs
and spat at teachers. He even bragged to his High School classmates on
9/11 about being related to Osama bin Laden. His former classmates
insist the warning signs were there at an early age and wish more had
been done in terms of discipline or counseling.
