Hispanics aren’t white? This is all so confusing.

Hispanics are white unless you're a journalist. Then there are "white hispanics" and "brown hispanics" who are more real hispanics than the white ones. Unless they are referring to Mexican hispanics. Then the "white hispanics" are the real ones and the "brown hispanics" are the fake ones who deserve no real power because they are Indians. I'm sure it's all there in the Journalist Guide to Race in America.

It’s more complicated than that. White people stole California from the Mexicans, who stole it from the Spanish, who stole it from the Indians ...

Woman who was stalked, harassed, sued, and scared away to another state by suspect in fatal shooting of 5 at Capital Gazette in Annapolis told me he became, for no obvious reason, “fixated” with her..caused her to move 3x, changed her name, and now sleeps with a gun.

Mental illness is the common theme with these mass shooters - there are many other factors, but the prevailing theme that receives little discussion in our hyper-partisan society and media (on both sides) is mental illness. The reasons for the mental illness are varied - fetal alcohol syndrome, psychotropic meds, etc etc.

It is frustrating to watch the media coverage seeking to blame politics and/or the tool they used. The rational cannot reconcile the logic of the irrational. These events are made far worse by the know-nothings in the media trying to find some political advantage or spin in the actions of a madman. It takes away from the humanity of the victims and the loss their loved ones must feel.

To be fair, if this columnist had just not used the guy’s real name, it could have avoided a lot of grief. Not saying it’s all this guy’s fault, but a little common sense might have been used here.

There is no way he’s Hispanic if the picture is accurate. That’s a big time Caucasian. White big time.

You are exactly right.

We are witnessing emotional/mental illness when these things happen.

It has little to do with guns or whatever other tool the perp uses, or the availability of such tools. It has to do with what we decide to value - or DEvalue - in our culture.

You do realize lots of ‘Hispanics’ come from German, French and Italian ancestry?

“The factual background to the defamation action is that on July 26, 2011, the appellant entered a guilty plea on a charge of criminal harassment in the District Court of Maryland sitting in Anne Arundel County. Judge Jonas D. Legum initially imposed a 90-day jail sentence but then suspended the sentence and placed the appellant on supervised probation for a period of 18 months with the additional requirement that the appellant continue with his ongoing therapy and that he refrain from any further contact with the harassment victim or her family.

Five days later, on July 31, 2011, the article in issue by staff writer Eric Thomas Hartley appeared in the Sunday issue of The Capital under the heading “Anne Arundel Report.” The article was entitled, “Jarrod wants to be your friend.”

The article, in its entirety,
read:

“If you’re on Facebook, you’ve probably gotten a friend request or message from an old high school classmate you didn’t quite remember.

“For one woman, that experience turned into a yearlong nightmare.

“Out of the blue, Jarrod Ramos wrote and thanked her for being the only person ever to say hello or be nice to him in school.

“She didn’t remember him, so he sent pictures. She Googled him, found a yearbook picture and realized they apparently did go to Arundel High together.

“He was having some problems, so she wrote back and tried to help, suggesting a counseling center.

“’I just thought I was being friendly,’ she said.

“That sparked months of emails in which Ramos alternately asked for help, called her vulgar names and told her to kill herself.

He emailed her company and tried to get her fired.

“She stopped writing back and told him to stop, but he continued.

When she blocked him from seeing her Facebook page, he found things she wrote on other people’s pages and taunted her with it, attaching screenshots of the postings to some of his emails.

“She called police, and for months he stopped. But then he started again, nastier than ever.

“All this without having seen her in person since high school.

They never met until they came to court a couple of months ago.

“Last week, Ramos, a 31-year-old federal employee, pleaded guilty in District Court to a misdemeanor harassment charge.

“Judge Jonas Legum, who called his behavior ‘rather bizarre,’ suspended a 90-day jail sentence and placed him on probation, ordering him to continue in therapy and not contact the victim or her family in any way.

“The case is extreme. But it provides a frightening look at the false intimacy the Internet can offer and the venom that can hide behind a computer screen.

“’I read about this all the time, where Facebook conversations, email conversations, start out fine and then take a turn where they become nastier over the course of time,’ said Ramos’ lawyer, Christopher Drewniak, ‘And this
is apparently one of those situations.’

“The victim, who asked that her name not be printed, said she lived in fear for her safety for months.

“The emails started in late 2009 or early 2010 – she can’t remember exactly, because it was only a few months later that they grew disturbing and she started documenting things.

“At first, she felt bad for him, so she shared some personal information and offered advice.

“’But when it seemed to me that it was turning into something that gave me a bad feeling in the pit of my stomach, that he seems to think there’s some sort of relationship here that does not exist ...

I tried to slowly back away from it, and he just started getting angry and vulgar to the point I had to tell him to
stop,’ she told the judge.

“’And he was not OK with that. He would send me things and basically tell me, “You’re going to need restraining order now.” “You can’t make me stop.

I know all these things about you.” “I’m going to tell everyone about your life.”

“An email in April 2010 said, ‘Have another drink and go hang yourself, you cowardly little lush.

Don’t contact you again? I don’t give a (expletive).
(Expletive) you.’

“Later that month, the woman was suddenly put on probation at the bank where she worked. She said a supervisor told her it was because of an email from Ramos and a follow-up phone call in which he advised them to fire her.

“She said she was laid off in September and believes, but can’t prove, it was because of Ramos. She’s since gotten another job.

“When she learned what Ramos had done, she called police. He stopped contacting her for a while and started counseling in November.

Still, the silence was not comforting.

“’That just left me to feel like he was stewing,’ she said.

‘For all the time he was silent, he’s collecting things about me. And then comes back at me, like, 10 times worse than he had before.’

“The messages resumed in January, referring to friends’ Facebook profiles and postings about her and Ramos himself.

“His messages rambled, calling her ‘a bipolar drunkard leading a double life’ and saying ‘Expletive you, leave me alone’ though she hadn’t written him in months.

He told her she was afraid to let a man get close to her and discussed her family, friends, job and Rotary Club involvement – all information gleaned from the Internet.

“In January, the victim went to court to get a peace order and file charges.

Finally, he stopped for good. Ramos, a tall, thin man with long hair he wears in a ponytail, did not speak at the hearing and did not return a call for comment left with his attorney.

“He has a degree in computer engineering and has worked for the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics for six years, Drewniak said.

He had no previous criminal record.

“Detective Rob Cremen, who handles domestic violence cases in the county police Southern District, said sustained harassment like this is rare.

“Facebook and networks like it offer the chance to reconnect with old friends.

But they also can invite unwanted attention. Many people don’t realize how much information about them is on social networking sites and elsewhere on the web. ...”

Hollywoodlife.com:

The paper’s former editor was scared that Ramos would one day come in and shoot up the office.

Thomas Marquart, who was Editor-in-Chief of the Capital Gazette until 2012, told the LA Times via a phone interview after the massacre that Ramos “Waged a one person attack on anything he could muster in court against The Capital. I said a the time ‘this guy is crazy enough to come in and blow us all away.'” He said he an other newspaper officials at the time worried about his behavior and harassment against the paper. He recalled his fear of Ramos and how he felt powerless to stop the harassment against the Capital and its employees. Marquart even told the paper he “prayed” that Ramos wouldn’t be ID’d at the suspected shooter and that he would feel ‘f**king responsible” if it was him.

In the ‘60’ LIBS closed most mental hospitals because they felt the hospitals were somehow restrictive and attacked patients’ rights. Actually , I believe they closed them because they realized that they were lunatics...and would be involuntarily committed eventually .

He reminds me a bit of the woman in the Clint Eastwood film, Play Misty For Me.

From Wikipedia...

“Dave Garver [Clint Eastwood] is a KRML radio disc jockey who broadcasts nightly from a studio in Carmel-by-the-Sea, California, often incorporating poetry into his program.

At his favorite bar, seemingly by chance, he encounters a woman named Evelyn Draper. Dave drives her home, where she reveals that their meeting was not accidental; she sought him out after hearing the bar mentioned on his radio show. He guesses correctly that she is the recurring caller who always requests the jazz standard “Misty”. The two have sex.

A casual relationship begins between Dave and Evelyn.

But before long, Evelyn begins to display obsessive behavior.

She shows up at Dave’s house uninvited, follows him to work, and calls to demand that he not leave her alone for a single minute.

The final straw comes when Evelyn disrupts a business meeting, mistaking Dave’s lunch companion for his date.

His efforts to gently sever ties with Evelyn lead her to attempt suicide in his home by slashing her wrists.

After Dave rejects her again, Evelyn breaks into his home and his housekeeper finds her vandalizing his possessions. Evelyn stabs the housekeeper and is subsequently committed to a psychiatric hospital.

During Evelyn’s incarceration, Dave rekindles a relationship with his ex-girlfriend, Tobie Williams.

A few months later, Evelyn again calls the studio to request “Misty”. She tells Dave that she has been released from the mental hospital and is moving to Hawaii for a fresh start in life.

She then quotes an Edgar Allan Poe poem, “Annabel Lee”. That night, while Dave is asleep, she sneaks into his house and tries to kill him with a butcher knife. He fights her, she flees, and he contacts the police.

Dave tells Tobie about Evelyn and cautions her to stay away from him until the woman is caught.

For her safety, she goes home. There, she meets with a girl who answered her ad for a roommate: Evelyn, using the alias Annabel.

Tobie eventually realizes that Annabel is Evelyn when she sees the fresh scars on Evelyn’s wrists, but before Tobie can escape, Evelyn takes her hostage.

Evelyn also kills McCallum, a police detective who had come to check on Tobie.

Dave makes the connection between Tobie’s roommate and the quote from “Annabel Lee”.

When he calls Tobie to warn her, Evelyn answers and says Tobie and she are waiting for him. Dave switches from a live show to taped music and rushes to the house, where he finds Tobie bound and gagged.

Evelyn attacks him with the butcher knife, slashing Dave multiple times. He punches Evelyn, knocking her through the window, over a railing, down onto the rocky shore below.

Dave and Tobie look down at Evelyn’s body as Dave’s voice on the radio show dedicates “Misty” to Evelyn one final time.
