Here's another surprise

The accused Capital Gazette murderer was a misogynist.  How many of the mass shooters have turned out to have a past of abuse of women?  It seems to be a very common thread.

In July 2011, an article in a Maryland newspaper titled "Jarrod wants to be your friend" told of how a man had befriended a former female high school classmate on Facebook and began a "yearlong nightmare" of harassing her over the Internet.

The article published in the Capital Gazette identified the man as Jarrod Warren Ramos -- the suspect in Thursday's deadly shooting at the Maryland paper's newsroom.

Nearly seven years ago, Ramos pleaded guilty to a harassment charge in the District Court of Maryland, according to court documents.

After connecting on Facebook, Ramos sent the woman messages asking for help, calling her vulgar names, and telling her to kill herself, according to the Gazette article, written by former staffer Eric Thomas Hartley.

[...]

Court records show that a year later, in July 2012, Ramos filed a complaint against Hartley and the newspaper, alleging he was defamed by the story.

Months later, Ramos filed another complaint and added a charge of invasion of privacy. The case was eventually dismissed.

Threats against the paper had been made as recently as the day of the shooting, Anne Arundel County Deputy Police Chief Bill Krampf said. The threats were general in nature but indicated violence, Krampf said.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.

UPDATE 7/2:

The staff of the Annapolis, Md., newspaper released a letter on Sunday to thank those who have offered support in the aftermath of the shooting.

“We won’t forget being called an enemy of the people,” the staff wrote. “No, we won’t forget that. Because exposing evil, shining light on wrongs and fighting injustice is what we do.”
