Omar's Adulthood (2006 - 2016), A Timeline

From 2002 to 2006, from when Omar was 16 years old to 20 years old, he had 8 jobs in 4 years. 

At 18 years old, Omar Mateen worked as an assistant at Gold’s Gym in St. Lucie West, and he'd worked as a sales associate at Hollister Clothing and General Nutrition Center (GNC) at the Treasure Coast Square mall in Jensen Beach. 37 year old Stefan Comvalius said that Omar Mateen was a fitness buff with a terrible temper. Comvalius figured the anger was coming from steroid use.

When Omar was 19 years old, in 2006, Mateen was injured when a St. Lucie County Sheriff's deputy lost control of his cruiser while racing to the scene of an automobile crash. Mateen was a passenger in the patrol car, taking part in a citizen ride-along.

Also in 2006, Omar earned an associate of science degree in criminal justice technology from Indian River State Community College in 2006. That's a degree required to become a law enforcement officer in Florida. 

This is also when a former colleague said that Omar Mateen had asked him out on a romantic date, a colleague from the police academy, who wasn't "out" yet. Omar Mateen was also on 3 gay dating app sites... Jack'd, Adam 4 Adam, and Grindr. When that anonymous gay man said no, Omar Mateen said, "Well, if you were gay, you would be my type." Many of the men at the police academy would go out after classes to gay clubs. Omar would later on send a dick pic to a gay man who was disgusted with Omar, and spurned his advances.

Also in 2006, Omar Mir Seddique to the courthouse in St. Lucie County to change his name from Omar Mir Seddique to Omar Mir Seddique Mateen, adding Mateen, to match his parents' surname. 

Omar Mateen applied to be a Florida Jailer in the Fall of 2006 with a recommendation from Steven J. Brown, a Port St. Lucie police officer who knew Mateen from Gold's gym and GNC where Mateen worked. Steven J. Brown wrote that Mateen’s character was “beyond reproach” and his “judgment, work ethic, sensibility, and problem solving are impeccable.” ... “I would sleep soundly at night knowing that a person like Omar is protecting us for the element which resides behind your concrete and steal (sic) walls.” Brown wrote that he had known Mateen for 3 years. 

October 2006 - April 2007. Omar Mateen, with Steven Brown's recommendation, became a Florida prison guard in October 2006, when he was 19 years old. Mateen worked for the Florida Department of Corrections, assigned to the Martin Correctional Institution, just west of Port St. Lucie, located at 1150 S.W. Allapattah Road in Indiantown for half of a year. Omar left the probationary employment position in April 2007 for an "administrative matter unrelated to misconduct." 

In 2007, 20 year old Omar Mateen got another science degree in criminal justice technology from Indian River State College in Fort Pierce, Florida. 

April 2007, Omar was released from the academy (Indian River State College) when his employment with the Department of Corrections ended.

While this incident wasn't mentioned in the official reasons for the firing, Omar Mateen got pissed off at a BBQ in early spring 2007. When Omar's hamburger touched a piece of pork, he mentioned that he was pissed about it. When the BBQers didn't take Omar serious about the religious affront, Omar became incensed. Omar told the class he ought to kill all of them, said 61 year old Susanne Coburn Laforest, who had attended the barbecue as a trainee. Omar said that the matter was serious and that Omar was going to come back and shoot them. Shortly thereafter, Mateen was sitting in his car in the parking lot as classes were about to resume, when local cops swarmed the automobile and escorted him off the property.

September 10, 2007 to June 11, 2016. Seeing that Omar Mateen had 6 months experience, and passing a background check with flying colors, G4S Secure Solutions USA snagged Omar Mateen right up. Omar Mateen was hired with the company when the company was known as Wackenhut. Omar also passed a psychological evaluation called the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory administered by G4S. Omar had no criminal record, didn't qualify as crazy on the exam, and G4S loved Omar Mateen. Omar Mateen would work dutifully for G4S for nearly a decade. Within the month, on October 5, 2007, Omar scored a D "security guard" license, and then, a year later, October 8, 2008, Omar scored a G Florida "statewide firearms" license. Now Omar could buy all the guns he wanted to buy, and carry them around as he liked, as a wannabe-rent-a-cop-officer of the law. 

Omar's first job with Wackenhut in 2007 was working at a Florida facility housing juvenile deliquents... a "St. Lucie juvenile assessment center", where it was reported that Omar would rough the juveniles up.

In 2008, 21 year old Omar Mateen meets his future wife, Sitora Yusufiy, on Myspace. Sitora Yusufiy was from Uzbekistan. Sitora Yusufiy was drawn to Omar Mateen because of his alluring and funny messages. Miss Yusufiy said he seemed perfect. “This man was a simple, Americanized guy that was also from my culture. And, you know, had the same religion,” Sitora Yusufiy said. “So I was like, O.K., this could potentially satisfy my parents.” 

In 2009, Sitora Yusufiy moved to Florida to marry 22 year old Omar Mateen in a quiet courthouse ceremony in Port St. Lucie. Sitora Yusufiy said that one night, she fell asleep on the floor waiting for Omar Mateen to return home. “All I remember is being woken up by a pillow being taken from under my head,” Sitora Yusufiy said. “I hit my head on the ground and then he started pulling my hair.” “He almost killed me,” she said. “Because he started choking me. And I somehow got out of it and I tried to tackle him.” 

Less than 2 years later, Sitora Yusufiy and Omar Mateen were divorced in July 2011.

When Omar was 23 years old, G4S Global Security Solutions USA sent Omar to protect the 2010 BP oil spoil along the Gulf Coast in Florida. An undercover reporter records an unsuspecting Omar Mateen telling her the truth. "No one gives a shit here. Everybody's just, get out to get paid. They're like hoping for more oil to come out and more people to complain so they'll have jobs. They want more disaster to happen," said Mateen. 

When Omar was 24 years old, in March 2011, for 10 days, Mateen traveled to Saudi Arabia for a religious pilgrimage known as the umrah. 

On June 24, 2011, Omar Mateen failed the Basic Abilities Test, which was a test to become a cop. This test would later on be changed because it was racist, and according to the changes, Omar Mateen would have passed it. The Office of Civil Rights at the Department of Justice found that the test Omar Mateen took in 2011 through the vendor I/O Solutions had certain items on the test forms that "disproportionately affect African-American and Hispanic test takers." The change was ordered in February of 2016. The change impacted roughly 6,500 test takers including Mateen. By the time the change was made, Mateen had already passed the test when he retook it in 2014.

September 29, 2011. Omar Mateen begins another romantic relationship online with Noor Zahi Salman. Noor Zahi Salman and Omar Mateen would eventually wed on September 29, 2011. 

In March 2012, 25 year old Omar went to Saudi Arabia for eight days. Muslims believe in apostasy, and then, of course, there's "the prophet" Muhammad's pedophilia that's totally fucked up.

By 2013, 26 year old Omar Mateen was working at the St. Lucie County courthouse as a security guard through a contract with G4S Secure Solutions. Omar Mateen would often man the metal detectors at the front of the building. Omar's co-workers would harass Omar for being Muslim, and so, like he did on 9-11, retort that he knew people in al-Qaeda and claiming he was a Hezbollah member. Omar also told co-workers that he knew associates of the Tsarnaev brothers, who had bombed the Boston Marathon. 

2013. The 1st FBI Interview. James Comey, the FBI director said, “First he claimed family connections to Al Qaeda,” which, like the Islamic State, is a Sunni Muslim terrorist group. "He also said he was a member of Hezbollah", which is a Shiite group in conflict with Al Qaeda and the Islamic State. “[Omar] said he hoped that law enforcement would raid his apartment and assault his wife and child so that he could martyr himself." The FBI would plant confidential associates around him, introduce themselves to him, record their conversations with them, tail him, reviewing financial transactions, and phone and Internet conversations.  The FBI interviewed Omar twice. Omar admitted that he made the statements, but did it because he was being discriminated against by his co-workers because he was Muslim. 

In 2013, G4S would conduct another background check, and administer the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory psychological evaluation on Omar again, and once again, Omar passed the psychological evaluation, and having no prior criminal record, Omar Mateen passed the background check and pscyh evaluation with flying colors. 

After Omar was flagged for making terroristic comments at the St. Lucie courthouse, G4S transferred him to work security detail at the PGA Village, a closed gated golf community, located at 1916 Perfect Drive, Port St Lucie, FL 34986. 

2014. The 2nd FBI Interview. On May 25, 2014. Moner Mohammad Abu-Salha, a Florida man, became the first American suicide bomber in Syria, and shortly afterwards, Omar Mateen was interviewed by the FBI in 2014, because Omar Mateen went to the same mosque as Moner Mohammad Abu-Salha - Islamic Center of Fort Pierce. A Fort Pierce mosque leader said Mateen was quiet and would not be seen with any friends when he attended nightly prayers at the Islamic Center of Fort Pierce. Rahman, 50, of Fort Pierce, said Mateen would visit the mosque with his son for prayer night a few nights out of the week. He said Mateen’s mother and father attended the mosque separately. “The father would come to help out,” Rahman said.

In 2014, Omar Mateen retook the Basic Abilities Test, the test that qualifies Omar to become a police officer, and Omar passed it.

2014. Omar's last job was when he worked as a security guard for the PGA Village, a closed gated community, located at 1916 Perfect Drive, Port St Lucie, FL 34986, when he was 27 years old. Daniel Gilroy, a former Fort Pierce Police officer who once worked with Mateen at PGA Village, called Mateen “unhinged and unstable.” Gilroy worked the 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. shift with G4S Security at the south gate at PGA Village for several months in 2014-15. Mateen took over from him for a 3 to 11 p.m. shift. Gilroy said he complained to his employer, G4S Security, several times about Mateen’s homophobic and racial comments, but said it did nothing because Mateen was Muslim. When Gilroy finally confronted Mateen, he said Mateen began stalking him via multiple text messages — 20 or 30 a day. He also sent Gilroy 13 to 15 phone messages a day, he said. Gilroy also said that Omar Mateen was “a devout Muslim” who prayed several times during his shifts at the security company where they both worked. Gilroy said "[Omar] would bring a prayer mat with him and he would pray right in front of me" ... “He would kneel down and chant and kiss objects and put on different… I think he put on a hat while he did that. And he did that for about ten minutes…a couple times during the shift. He was a devout Muslim.” "When I saw his picture on the news, I thought, of course, he did that," fellow security guard Eric Baumer told Newsday. "He had bad things to say about everybody—blacks, Jews, gays, a lot of politicians, our soldiers. He had a lot of hate in him. He told me America destroyed Afghanistan."

PGA Village resident Eleanora Dorsi recognized Mateen’s face as a friendly one who guarded her community. “Whenever I saw him, he was very polite,” Dorsi said Sunday from her summer home in Connecticut. “He was always a gentleman.” Dorsi, who has lived in the community since 2011, estimated she saw Mateen a dozen times through the years, but he left a big impression on her because of his chivalry, she said. “He even helped me with the car once, so I can’t say he was creepy,” she said. Mateen helped her work the windshield cleaning function in her new car one time, she said. “He was always smiling and just seemed like a very nice, positive person,” Dorsi said.

By 2016, Omar Mateen had a home in Fort Pierce, on the Atlantic Coast. 

A week prior to the Orlando Massacre. Ed Henson sold Omar Mateen both the Sig Sauer AR-15-type assault-style rifle and the Glock 9mm semiautomatic pistol Omar used to kill 49 Hispanic gay folks. When Omar bought the guns at a Fort Pierce gun shop, also a shooting center, Mateen went through a full background check. Having no criminal record, Omar, again, passed the background check. Owner Edward Henson said he "vaguely" remembered Omar. "He's a nobody," Edward Henson said. "He's just a customer. He came in, bought the guns, and left."

On June 11, 2016, Omar Mateen worked at the PGA Village just one day before the shootings. Omar got off of work in the morning, or afternoon, and in the afternoon, around 3pm, Omar visited with his father Mirr Seddique Mateen. 

When reporters asked questions to the G4S security guards at the PGA Village, 3 of Mateen's security guard co-workers declined to comment, referring questions to the Jupiter-based G4S headquarters. The 3 unnamed co-workers said they weren't permitted to talk about their experiences with Mateen.

Omar left his gray Toyota Camry behind at his Fort Pierce home. Omar's gray Toyota Camry was decorated with Marine Corps bumper stickers, and it had a Florida Marine Corps license plate on it.
When Omar drove to Orlando from St. Lucie County, he was dressed in his beige G4S uniform.

Books Read By Anne Frank

2 outta 5 Kyians can't read, according to a 1999 Paul Patton Task Force commission report. “44% of Kentuckians struggle with minimal literacy skills, and 37% of the Kentuckians age 25 and older do not have a high school diploma.” http://www.lrc.ky.gov/lrcpubs/rr296.pdf But hey, Kentucky, don't lose heart. Just look at the good side. If 44% of Kentuckians CAN'T read, then that means that 56% of Kentuckians CAN read, so let's look at the positive side. Here's Wendy, a Kentuckian, from Letcher County, who I met the other day:  Many Kentuckians, especially the backwards, racist, and illiterate, love to fuck up their words as bad as they possibly can. “Taters” isn't only stupid... it's childish. Plus, potatoes aren't that great. Potatoes were responsible for killing off a huge Irish population... sure it's one of the world's main basic food staples, but rice, pork, beef, wheat, sugar, etc., are so much more important, and more d

100 Greatest Works Humanity Has Ever Made

A Great Books Canon “To ignore the leaps and bounds we've advanced in the fields of technology and science is to forever play patty-cake to the cavepeople of yesteryear.” Podcast Explanation for the first few Great Books of the Freedom Skool: http://youtu.be/7jD_v4ji1kU This is the Freedom Skool's 2015 list of the 100 Greatest Works Humanity Has Ever Made in the order of most important to least.
