Apparently it stems from this article: http://www.capitalgazette.com/news/ph-ac-cn-jarrod-ramos-ruling-0923-20150922-story.html ???
we really need to teach defamation and libel laws in school, every four years or so

we can replace the non-creation science courses with it

The shooter is 38 years old and had a restraining order against him due to harassing a random woman he barely knew in high school. He had also spent over five years threatening the newspaper on social media after they published an article about his case.

People like to always slide the blame onto mentally ill people but how is it that someone with a restraining order can buy a gun?

A restraining order hardly seems like a good reason to deny someone a civil right to self defense.

His feud with The Capital, the chain’s daily newspaper, apparently began with a column in 2011 that detailed his alleged harassment of a high school classmate.

After Mr. Ramos reconnected with the classmate in 2009, his emails to her soon turned venomous.

“He seems to think there’s some sort of relationship here that does not exist,” the woman told a judge, according to court documents in a harassment case she brought against Mr. Ramos. “I tried to back away from it, and he just started getting angry and vulgar to the point I had to tell him to stop.”

After she told him not to contact her again, Mr. Ramos wrote in a 2010 email that the woman should “go hang yourself.”

Weeks later, the woman was put on probation at the bank where she worked. A supervisor told her it was because Mr. Ramos had sent an email — and had also called the bank — telling managers that the bank should fire her.

A judge gave Mr. Ramos a 90-day sentence, but suspended the jail time. Instead, Mr. Ramos was granted probation before judgment. He was ordered not to contact the woman and to continue getting therapy.
Quote
Mr. Ramos filed a lawsuit against the owners of The Capital in 2012, claiming that it had defamed him in reporting that Mr. Ramos had pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor criminal harassment charge. Months later, he filed a fuller complaint alleging invasion of privacy, but the lawsuit was dismissed by a judge the next year because Mr. Ramos was unable to describe how he had been harmed by the newspaper article.

Mr. Ramos, who represented himself in the case, appealed the decision. But in 2015 an appellate court affirmed the lower court’s dismissal of the lawsuit, stating that Mr. Ramos showed little knowledge of defamation law and seemed not to “have learned his lesson.”
Quote
Ramos’s harassment of his online victim apparently continued. Maryland court records show that in October 2014, a restraining order was entered against him ordering him not to have contact with the woman. Ramos pursued appeals of that order until 2016 but did not prevail.


Quote
He carried no identification and had damaged his finger tips in an apparent effort to thwart identification by law enforcement, sources said.

Abusive/threatening behavior towards women seems to be more of a through line for these incidents than any political or religious ideology.

Same with murder-suicides. It's almost always a man perpetrating it on a woman and almost always with a gun.

Matt Pearce tweeted that he heard the shooter was in the competition from one of the competitors but hasn't gotten a confirmation from other people yet.

You should really, really, really wait for a source other than Laura Loomer for anything.

Awful news. I definitely considered what it’d be like if a shooter shot up a fighting game event before. It’s actually one of my worst fears. What, with all the bets going on. And the prize money. Not to mention the lax security.

Hopefully they beef up security at tournaments going forward. I’ll gladly sacrifice having my arcade stick and bag checked.

Prayers to the victims and their families.

If it’s true the shooter was in the tournament that makes it even more scary as a competitive player. Salt happens but not that. Yikes.

There's not much to see other than the poor kid that you can see a laser hit chest. Right then the camera goes back to the game and you hear the shots ring out.

The audio is absolutely horrifying though

I would generally agree but it's almost election season and the direct involvement with a video game event will give those who are either genuinely stupid enough to believe that particular myth or those that want to cynically advance it enough, ahem, ammunition that I expect this to hang around in the news cycle for a couple days.

Nah, the news media really likes AR-15 stories. If it’s a shooting with a shotgun or a handgun or even revolver they forget about it reallll quick. If a civilian stopped the shooting then they likely won’t report it.

Complain about media's agenda but bring your own agenda into almost every post  :doge

Don’t really have an agenda. Just stating facts. Going by your logic, your post is for your agenda as well. Just laziness via some petty comeback.

Almost every post you made about the shooting in this thread has been a thinly veneered defense of your gun fetish. And everyone else is just avoiding engaging with you about it because they're trying to be nice to you.

I’m not posting anything with the shooters name or face because I’m not the media that wants to inspire copycats but details are white male, early 20’s, semi-automatic handgun, killed self inside. The fuck doesn’t deserve any attention to his act of brutality.

They said the shooter's name on the radio this morning.  Possible motive is that "he was upset that he lost a game."  Really?  He brought a gun with laser sight to an event in case he lost?   But I guess I could see that if he was just fucked up in the head.  :-\

They also made sure, before going into detail on this shooting, to mention that two more (non-mass) shootings happened in the area last night.
