27. Woman he harassed told police he would be a shooter

Thomas Marquardt, who retired as The Capital’s publisher in 2012 and was named in Ramos’ defamation lawsuit, told the Los Angeles Times that Ramos, “waged a one-person attack on anything he could muster in court against the Capital. I said during that time, ‘This guy is crazy enough to come in and blow us all away.'”

Marquardt told the Times, “The theory back then was, ‘Let’s not infuriate him more than I have to. … The more you agitate this guy, the worse it’s gonna get.’ If it’s him, I’m gonna feel … responsible for this. I pray it’s not him.”
