The Annapolis shooting

[NJCardFan]

Yep. Sure looks like your typical right wing gun nut doesn't he?

I saw something online that implied Ramos' father (Miguel Ramos) worked for the NSA, but I couldn't get adequate confirmation on that. I'll keep looking.

In 2011 Ramos was charged with stalking a woman in the 2009-2010 time frame who had been a high school classmate. He pled guilty. The newspaper did a story on it. In 2012 he filed a defamation lawsuit against the paper, which he lost. He appealed and lost. In 2014 or 2015 he was charged with criminal harassment, possibly in connection with all this, and apparently lost.

Not only did he lose the case, the judge dismissed it with prejudice.

Apparently, Ramos was acting as his own attorney. Bad mistake there.

It didn't help that the newspaper article he claimed was defamatory was true.

Perhaps Ramos thought the woman was lying about him.

He pled guilty to stalking her.

He pled guilty to stalking her.

That doesn't mean he actually thought he was in the wrong. Plea bargains are cheaper than going to trial.
