Capital Gazette shooter was a Trump supporter!

Tweet

The Capital Gazette suspect, Jarrod W. Ramos, had harassed the newspaper's journalists for years. He is also a long time Donald Trump supporter that threatened the newspaper two years ago because of its coverage of Donald Trump:

Referring to @realDonaldTrump as "unqualified" @capgaznews could end badly (again).http://t.co/SnsooKxcN6

Here is a screenshot in case the original gets deleted

As you can see from his twitter home page, which as I write this is still up, this account dates from November 2011, meaning it wasn't just put up for this shooting. He says:

Dear reader: I created this page to defend myself. Now I'm suing the shit out of half of AA County and making corpses of corrupt careers and corporate entities.

He also gives a link to this court filing. We can see from this that his twitter handle is the guy he is suing, and his address [402 Armstrong Court, Apt. B, Laurel, MD 20707] as well as the defendant [Capital-Gazette] leaves little doubt that this is the right Jarrod W. Ramos.

He also seems to have picked up on the "Fake Media" meme. In one tweet he calls a journalist a "fake reporter:" 

and in another he refers to the Capital Gazette as "fake watchdogs:"

I'm still at work. When I have a moment I will fill this story out with some of President Trump's many attacks and threats against what he calls "fake media," but those are already so well known that that probably isn't necessary. The facts are still coming in, and the authorities haven't officially named a shooter yet, but word on the street is that is is this Jarrod W. Ramos, and if that is the case, President Donald Trump has blood on this hands tonight.
