Police in Uvalde appear to have been taken to bed when 18-year-old Salvador Ramos stormed Robb Primary School in Uvalde, Texas. Ramos was detained for more than an hour before being stopped, and at least 19 police officers were waiting outside the classroom where he killed children. But for the young people who had contact with Ramos on social media, in the time before he committed the worst school shooting in a decade, it did not come as a surprise. Shocking, perhaps. But not surprisingly. Many had reported more than a few statements. However, they did not think he was serious until after they saw the news of what he had done.

Threatened with murder and rape Salvador Ramos left no letter with any explanation as to why he first shot his own grandmother in the face, before traveling to a nearby primary school and killing 19 children and two teachers. It is thus difficult to point to a motive for the horrific actions. On the app Yubo, a social medium that allows users to video chat with each other, he was nicknamed the “Yubo school shooter”. On Yubo, Ramos is said to have threatened girls with raping them, shown a rifle he had bought, and threatened with school shootings. It tells several young people who had contact with him to Sky News and CNN. Ramos also made threats of violence and talked about school shootings on Instagram, according to the newspaper San Antonio Express-News. Contacted by SMS CNN has seen a message correspondence where Ramos is said to have sent a picture of a bill of 2000 dollars for a weapon purchase. Sky News has seen message exchanges between Ramos and a 17-year-old girl. Through Yubo’s messaging service, Ramos encourages the girl to jump off a bridge.

The girl did not answer. – Answer me. You will regret that you did not do as I said, Ramos writes in the message reproduced by Sky News. When the news that Ramos was behind the attack on Robb primary school came, the 17-year-old says that she was shocked, but not surprised. Ramos reported for the behavior Several of the users on Yubo reacted to the fact that he threatened to kill, kidnap and rape on live video. Yubo’s regulations forbid much of what Ramos shared. “Never threaten or intimidate other users”. «Do not share content that is sexist […] or otherwise discriminatory ». “Do not share content that promotes violence, such as acts of violence, firearms, knives or other weapons.” Therefore, several reported him to Yubo. Schoolchildren in the United States are protesting against the country’s gun laws after the school massacre in Uvalde, Texas, in which 19 children and two adults were shot and killed. It led nowhere. Four days after the school shooting, Sky News was still able to find Ramos’ account on the app. Only on Saturday morning, after Sky News contacted Yubo for a comment, was the account removed. Yubo says technical delays are the reason the account was active for so long. A spokesman for the app told CNN that Yubo is cooperating with the police in their investigation. – We are sorry for this indescribable loss, and cooperate fully with the police in their investigation. Yubo takes users’ safety seriously and is now investigating an account that has since been banned from the platform, Yubo told CNN.
