Annapolis is my hometown. I grew up there and frequently visit " crabtown." Today is very upsetting . About the Mason symbols, one of the oldest lodge in the country (1750) ,and that George Washington attended and my family belonged to is the Crownsville lodge. The lodge is not very far from the shooting and same zip code. I never joined. My mother was a high level Eastern Star. Both sides of family were lodge members, generations back. My father 33rd degree. And No, I never thought, knew or felt them evil. My family lineage goes back to the Mayflower .
I think the cabal chose the Capitol Gazette is because it is the oldest running print paper in the nation and it is located in the location of the lodge. JMO
