May they Rest In Peace.

The identities of all five victims in the Maryland newsroom shooting were released by law enforcement officials late Thursday.

Hiassen, 59, of Timonium, was employed as an assistant editor and columnist for the newspaper.

Fischman, 61, worked as the editorial page editor and Winters, 65, as the special publications editor.

McNamara, 56, was a writer and Smith, 34, a sales assistant.

That woman that he harassed is very, very lucky to be alive.

Wow. She sure is...what a scary experience.

So now when someone feels disgruntled over anything, they just think it's ok to up the ante and start murdering people ?
Something's wrong with this picture. What with all the shootings over the last few months, years, it appears to be a situation of desensitization , which makes it easier for someone to commit a crime such as this. Call it copycat or whatever, it's a desensitization . It makes it easier for them to do it.
Maybe part of the problem is that it's being reported all over the world, every bad thing that happens, it's reported in every state, in every country. In the olden days all we heard was local news. But now the news is like the fuel that fires the flame.

The thing I hate is that after nearly every tragedy like this the signs are obvious the threat the person posed with social media posts etc and nothing is done about it until after the event. Surely when there are signs alarm bells should be going off and action taken to protect people. I know this is easy to say in hindsight it’s just very frustrating.

anyone know anything about what federal position he was in

I would think he would have gotten fired after the case made the papers

My apologies if this has already been answered... the newspaper article that caused him to file the defamation lawsuit said he worked for the Dept of Labor.

Yes, it is reported all over the world. Why don't people in other countries go the copycat route too?

 

[EuTuCroquet?]

That's the messenger, not the problem. Respectfully, this story would still be national news regardless of what era it happened in. I'll just stop at that.

I think at first people thought that he was another journalist who had worked at the newspaper, but that turned out to be not true. He sued the newspaper for reporting a criminal case against him and his case was thrown out of court.

In a statement Thursday, the APME called on newspapers across the country to help the victims of the shooting so they can continue to cover their community and fight for freedom of the press.​

Fatal shooting of 5 at Capital Gazette is rare attack on U.S. journalists

I am surprised by this. Yes, many journalists are in danger in authoritarian and third world countries, but not in countries which have the same values as the US. It is common in the US by those standards.

Newspaper Shooting Suspect Had History of Harassment
Comments made by a conspiracy blogger about vigilantes killing journalists also received scrutiny in the aftermath of the mass shooting.

Hi @CARIIS. I'm glad to see you posting updates in (yet another) breaking news thread here. Typist extraordinaire! <3



There are more details about the criminal harassment case against Ramos. He included the news article about his guilty plea in his "defamation" lawsuit against a Capital Gazette reporter. (His behavior was frightening, imo!! Whoa.)

Bumping pdf link to his appeal: https://www.mdcourts.gov/sites/default/files/import/appellate/unreportedopinions/2015/2281s13.pdf

Here's a USA Today story that summarizes it pretty well, too: Accused Capital Gazette shooter had sued paper, held grudge

Thanks for the USA Today article as that summs it up pretty well. A very disturbed individual.

In a nutshell if I read it right

It all began many years ago when he was charged with harrassment of a female.

Then the paper did a story on the case and he gets really upset about the article and he files a defamation suit

He loses his case and then gets mad about his perceived non justice

His anger against judges and the newspaper continues for a long time until today.

Yeah. The news is the problem here.

SMDH.

I know. Don't report it and it has not happened. Easy peasy.

Here's What We Know About The Suspect In The Maryland Newspaper Shooting

(Former editor and publisher Tom) Marquardt told the Baltimore Sun, a sister paper of the Capital, he wasn't surprised that Ramos had been identified as the suspected shooter.

He said Ramos harassed the newspaper for years after it published the 2011 article.

"I was seriously concerned he would threaten us with physical violence," Marquardt told the Sun, adding that he reached out to Anne Arundel County authorities about Ramos years ago, but nothing came of it.

He also considered filing a restraining order, but decided against it.

"I remember telling our attorneys, 'This is a guy who is going to come in and shoot us,'" Marquardt said.​

Annapolis attack: Deadliest day for journalism in US since 9/11

"News of the shooting spree caused a chill in newsrooms across the United States on Thursday. Law enforcement in several cities stepped up security around major news organizations as a precautionary measure.

Threats against members of the media have been on the rise in recent years. But murders of American journalists are very rare.

The last time multiple journalists were killed while on assignment in the U.S. was in 2015, when an ex-employee attacked two members of a WDBJ TV news crew during a live report in Virginia."

Snip

"The Committee to Protect Journalists, which tracks threats to journalists around the world, said that "seven journalists have been killed in relation to their work in the United States" since the group began its tracking effort in 1992."

Yes, because ...............guns.

Not sure if this was posted, yikez:

"Two law enforcement sources said his fingerprints appeared to have been altered, which made it difficult to identify him, but one law enforcement source said he was identified through facial recognition software."
