The Capital Gazette shooter has been identified as Jarrod Warren Ramos. He is apparently a stalker who had a longstanding beef with the newspaper — according to his Twitter feed, he’s been stalking and abusing the paper and its reporters for six years! — and took it to court. Here’s his Twitter feed, which he named after Eric Hartley, the former CapGaz journalist he sued for defamation, and lost. Look at this before they take it down:

He hadn’t posted since 2016. Till then, it was mostly psychotic, profane rage about the newspaper, lawyers, judges, and other supposed enemies of his. Here are chilling ones in light of today’s event:

“Ignore the problem and it will go away” isn’t my style. Bob’s maybe. Here’s to continued aggravation, and attorney fees as may be entitled.

2000 Capital Drive, just as @capgaznews left it, passes for authentic office of blood-stained tabloid publication:https://t.co/SggYUJcmGN

I’ll enjoy seeing @capgaznews cease publication, but it would be nicer to see Hartley and Marquardt cease breathing.https://t.co/oLcaqmT1NF

Look at this: a court document in which Ramos was ordered to delete his Twitter account, quit harassing lawyers, judges, and others, and to get a mental health evaluation:

I signed this order to help Lori Sondervan with her feelings of guilt. We are dangerous and need mental evaluations! pic.twitter.com/nXa96zVhye

Whoa!

Mass shootings cannot happen anywhere, @ChiefKevinDavis. For example: 2000 Capital Drive. No one left there to shoot. https://t.co/jCbhe1uTPa

That address is his old high school, it seems. He had been in trouble with the law for stalking an old high school classmate. The address is the old CapGaz building.

Then, today, he posted this just before his rampage:

Fuck you, leave me alone @judgemoylanfrnd.

There is nothing ideological about this monster. He is a psychotic stalker — and now, it appears, a mass murderer.
