Salvador Ramos, Uvalde School Shooting Suspect: 5 Fast Facts You Need to Know
heavy.com ^ | 5/25/2022 | jessica mcbride

Posted on 05/25/2022 8:13:07 AM PDT by bitt

Salvador Ramos was named as the 18-year-old high school student and fast-food worker who stormed into classrooms at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, gunning down at least 19 students and two fourth-grade teachers on May 24, 2022.

It was the nation’s deadliest elementary school shooting since the 2012 massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary in Connecticut. The suspect, who flashed pictures of guns on Instagram, shot his grandmother before entering the school pursued by law enforcement officers, the Associated Press reported. The Uvalde High School student shot children in grades 2 to 4 and two beloved fourth-grade teachers, Irma Garcia and Eva Mireles, to death before being killed by a border patrol agent who had been working nearby and rushed to help, officials said. There are conflicting reports about whether his grandmother is alive.

“As soon as he made entry into the school he started shooting children, teachers, whoever was in his way, he was shooting everybody,” Texas Department of Public Safety spokesperson Lt. Chris Olivarez said to Daily Beast, which reported that Ramos bought two rifles on his 18th birthday.

Accounts emerged of Ramos being bullied. The Washington Post reported that he spoke with a lisp and endured gay slurs for wearing eyeliner. Another report said he was taunted because of his clothes and family’s finances.

Salvador Rolando Ramos also had a TikTok page with a profile that read, “Kids be scared irl (in real life),” according to CNN. It contained only a clip from a Subway Surfers mobile game, the network reported. His Instagram and TikTok accounts carried the name TheBiggestOpp.

By late evening, the Associated Press reported that officials confirmed at least 21 people, 19 of them children, had died in the shooting.

It is incredible if you post something against Fauci you are banned, marked or shadow banned on Social Media, possibly harrassed by law enforcement or the IRS but if you post something troubling as a teen with guns or violence you get a free pass. Social Media is monitoring the wrong people.

I thought it was common practice to keep schoolhouse entry doors locked during the day.

They are from his instagram before it was deleted.

I suppose he could have pictures of other people who look a lot like him at different weights.

How about these facts:

What meds was he on?
Did he have any prior record?
Was he on anyone’s watch list?
He was obviously a mental case. How did he obtain the guns?

How is it that a “El Salvadoran” origin “parentage” was BORN in North Dakota?

Somebody ask the Open Borders a@@holes that have allowed this to go on for decades.... for cheap illegal and culturally non assimilated labor force. These open borders clowns did this with Chinese labor all over the post Civil War Western US— building railroads and importing opium to keep them hooked. Now it’s fentanyl and the Chi-Coms are getting their revenge (or so they only passingly justify— it’s really about their disgusting murderous culture of human waste and no-value life. Built in to their automaton mentality).

What were this guy’s “parents” doing in N. Dakota— slaughtering beef at some mega packing house? We need to know— run down the facts and put this right on Bidens empty brained doorstep-— an abusive manipulator with zero personal intellect or conscience.

Next, how did a supposedly poor tranny who worked at Wendy’s get the $8k for rifles and body armor and a new $75K Dodge Ram pickup?

Good questions. I can’t see the justification for the pity party. I thought the truck was a ford but they all seem to look alike.

We need to learn the reason all these 18 to 23 year-old males started shooting up schools since 1999. What part of our society has led to this?

My inclination is that it is untreated mental illness, drugs, general decay of morals, no father figures, politically encouraged divisions mostly including race, acceptance and encouragement of perversion, desensitization by the gamer addiction and normalization of deviant behavior.

I recall all the males who have perpetrated these mass murders have one thing in common... mental illness.

I’m a conspiracy type person. Why kids? Why another school? Why May 24?

What if..
* Great time for a other distraction to help anyone
who would do anything to stay in power.
* School shooting would start front page gun control again.
* Get a nut (per visuals and actions) to go crazy by
any means possible for gun control agenda.
* Con control to help the cartels
* AMERICAN CITIZEN CONTROL, PERIOD! Certainly not the invaders!

I bet those murdered children would rather have been bullied. I have no sympathy for someone that thinks it is okay to do this.

I would love to have any kind of proof on that, pleeeeeeeeeeese. I’m against ‘control’, and that is a good ‘point’ to use. We’re going to need all we can get. It’s a never ending fight! Thanks

What kind of proof do you seek? Texas Education Code Sec. 37.0811 allows for armed public school employees as long as they have special training and the district allows it. My local district does, and we have many armed teachers.

On this issue, Uvalde responded there was no reason for the teachers to be armed in this school. Said the district:

"He'll try to pick us off one by one. He'll never do it. At best, he'll get two or three up front there."​

Sounds like he had a crappy life, but that’s no excuse for what he did. I can’t imagine any way to go to Hell faster than shooting innocent, defenseless children.

It was a Ford F150 from the early 2000’s. Yahoo Autos price them as being worth $8-$9k. How did he afford $3,000 worth of guns + the truck if he worked at Wendy’s?

Since we know very few facts, let the speculation begin.

Mother was trafficked by gangs that control prostitution, and wound up in ND because that’s where the money was - he was born about 2004.

Got pregnant, kept the baby for welfare benefits.

Aged out as a prostitute and was discarded, with baby.

No father in the picture, if they even knew who the father was.

Mother barely functioning, moved in with grandmother - blood is indeed thicker than brains.

No strong father figure, no foundation for becoming an adult, ignored at school by teachers (too hard, ya’ know).

Recipe for manipulation by modern society.

Was he prescribed SSRI anti-depressants?

That is a common theme in these kinds of cases.

I think you hit all the high points with that. I have nothing to add.

This nation better wake up. We have a bifurcated society, little to no middle class. Glossing over problems by the constant bombardment of free money and things is making the problem worse by eviscerating a middle class.

There is most likely a correlation between the rise of mass school shootings and the closing of the majority of in-patient institutions and the institution of ineffective “one size fits all” 72 hr psych hold policies.

Also based on news accounts...no father in the picture.

Something he has in common with the vast majority of school mass murderers.

“Did he have any prior record?”


If he just turned 18, it is likely we’ll never know. Juvenile records are sealed. The ‘gentle giant’ of Ferguson, MO had a juvenile record, but it has never been revealed.
