Before massacre, Uvalde gunman frequently threatened teen girls online
Young people who met the alleged gunman online said he had threatened to kidnap, rape or kill. But they said their reports were ignored and that his kind of angry misogyny was just “how online is.”
He could be cryptic, demeaning and scary, sending angry messages and photos of guns. If they didn’t respond how he wanted, he sometimes threatened to rape or kidnap them — then laughed it off as some big joke.
But the girls and young women who talked with Salvador Ramos online in the months before he allegedly killed 19 children in an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, rarely reported him. His threats seemed too vague, several said in interviews with The Washington Post. One teen who reported Ramos on the social app Yubo said nothing happened as a result.

This article cites and quotes anonymous entities and provides no citation to the original posts it speaks of ... How am I supposed to take their accusations seriously if I can't look up the original post?

SFC Kelly Fuerhoff What videos... I want to see them for myself.... What posts... Did they alter them? How do I know they even exist? What stops them from making things up when they can't show where they got the evidence from?

SFC Kelly Fuerhoff You can't refute an accusation of making things up if you use an anonymous source.
