The guy had problems from childhood yet none of the school records show him yelling "Allahu akbar" when he bullied his classmates.
FORT PIERCE, Fla. — As early as the third grade, the Florida nightclub shooter talked frequently about sex and violence and before finishing high school was suspended for a total of 48 days, including suspensions for fighting and hurting classmates, school records showed...
In the years since, other people reported having disturbing run-ins with Omar Mateen, including a bartender who said he stalked her nearly a decade ago and sent so many uncomfortable Facebook messages that she blocked him on the social network.
Teachers "couldn't seem to help him," said Dan Alley, retired dean of Martin County High School. "We tried to counsel him and show him the error of his ways, but it never had the effect that we were hoping for."
At least some of the suspensions were for fighting that involved injuries. Others were for unspecified rules violations, according to the records...
A third-grade teacher wrote that Mateen was "very active ... constantly moving, verbally abusive, rude, aggressive." The teacher described "much talk about violence & sex," with Mateen's "hands all over the place — on other children, in his mouth."
The same teacher wrote that Mateen and another student sang the words "marijuana, marijuana" rather than the school's song, "mariposa, mariposa." In seventh grade, school administrators moved Mateen to another class to "avoid conflicts with other students." That same report said Mateen was doing poorly in several subjects because of "many instances of behavioral problems."
In a 1999 letter to Mateen's father, one of his middle school teachers wrote that the boy's "attitude and inability to show self-control in the classroom create distractions and become a main source of difficulty for him."
