Naame's comment: I fear for my community even more now. First, the article Ramos was mad about was basically a timeline of events with quotes from the victim of Ramos's harrassment. There was nothing more to it, yet he felt that he was defamed by this. Trump also has an affinity for feeling defamed by newspapers that just give a timeline of his behavior and record his statements. Second, the facial recognition tech used to identify Ramos was first used on antiwar protesters here in Maryland. Do you think there will be facial recognition technology used to identify the people at tonight's vigil for the newspaper? You're damn right there will be. Thirdly is the rage. We need to address the rage and anger that is palpable within a segment of people in this country. There needs to be a campaign for people to address the rage, a campaign of atonement and forgiveness.

"It’s the sort of rage that puts you at a loss when you work for a newspaper, where you see people trying, every day, to get it right because they believe in how much getting it right matters for a better country made up of better citizens. It’s enough even to glance at the headlines of Capital Gazette stories: “Helping the homeless one bag at a time in a Hanover classroom,” “Annapolis City Council apologizes for historic lynchings,” “Six things we learned from Anne Arundel’s primary.” This paper was providing its community with what all newspapers try to provide, in aggregate, for the nation.

The question, of course, is what to do now. There’s no road map to shoring up trust in the journalistic enterprise; there’s no manifesto that will change the minds of a citizenry that seems to exist in a series of separate realities. There are only people to talk to and stories to write and pages to set and presses to print them. All you can do, really, is what the Capital Gazette does every day, and what it did today, despite everything: You put out a paper."
