Sometimes the shooter really is a quiet neighbor who nobody thought would ever go on a murder spree.

But this guy — he gave us more than a decade of not-very-subtle hints.
Another clue: In 2016, Roy Den Hollander sued 7 journalists (including @chucktodd @KatyTurNBC @Acosta @MajorCBS) for, essentially, being mean to Donald Trump.

Dude even had the nerve to quote Ida B. Wells.

The media got a lot of mileage out of Hollander's craaazzzeee lawsuits, going back again and again for more good copy.

But a newspaper never would have covered a guy who described himself as a "Jew-hater" or was as openly racist as Hollander was misogynistic.
He was still trying to convince people he was "in his 40s" in the 2000s, but he was old enough to declare bankruptcy in 1976
He was 72 when he killed himself; here he is turning 7 in the October 12, 1954 edition of The Paterson News
