But I thought colored hair = liBeRaL!
You go Granny! Fuck those guys

Americans: GUNS SHOULD BE MANDATORAY!!!
Poor kid. It’s the mom who should be punished, not him. Obviously, there are ethics considerations but these are the kinds of stories that make me momentarily feel like forced sterilization isn’t necessarily a bad thing.
Having a kid really should require a license. But there is no entity on earth that could be trusted to manage the process of issuing those licenses fairly. So, damned if we do, damned if we don’t.
Hell, even if you could find someone to handle it fairly, it would just be a matter of time until someone subverted that organization for their own purposes. If there’s power to be wielded, someone will abuse it.
Exactly. That is why humans can’t have nice things. The same skills that made us the dominant species ensures we will ruin everything eventually.
The article said that the kid had stuff with Nazi and white supremacy symbols and words on it. I’m pretty sure he’s not innocent in any of this.
He’s in middle school. 13 year olds’ political beliefs don’t typically extend beyond whatever news channel their parents watch, and whatever pipeline YouTube has pushed them down. Could he cause a lot of damage with those political beliefs? Absolutely. But those beliefs didn’t spawn out of the ether. He didn’t just casually stumble upon them. They were put in front of him.
Well, kids learn from thier parents. Unfortunately he was taught to hate. I don’t think he is to blame. But of course he can’t just go free either.
Kids also learn from unfettered access to the internet, which it sounds like was a big factor in this case.
I had unfettered internet access and even checked out stormfront and other Nazi communities out of morbid curiosity (it was the 90s – I really didn’t think they’d ever be relevant again), but then I also didn’t have social media, infinite scrolling, or dopamine jacking feeds, so fuck me maybe I just got lucky.
The internet tends to reinforce more than teach. Echo chambers tend to do that.
Agreed. We really should have better mental rehabilitative services, especially for youth but who am I kidding with how this country is going.
He’s 14. He’s about as innocent as every other child. While he should certainly be educated and corrected, allowing a child to fall into that shit is the fault of their guardian.
Do you remember all the stupid shit you thought and believed at 14?
Kids do dumb things and hopefully learn from their mistakes but I dont think actively planning to shoot up a school is one of those things you can argue as innocuous.
The article doesn’t say whether he originally had these thoughts or if it was pressed onto him by his mother. It definitely sounds like he was at the very least encouraged to do extreme violence by his mother and he said himself that he looked up to other shooters and thought he would be famous.
The kid needs some mental health counseling at the very least in my opinion.
Thoughts and prayers.
Okay, so anybody knows what music is playing in the video?
Shazam is giving me wrong tracks only…I’m guessing it’s from a stock library.
Could also be AI generated.
Thank goodness for that grandmother
Pardo had been aware of the threats made by her son, expressed to the school her support of his “violent expressions and drawings” and said she did not feel concerned for his behavior, according to the affidavit.
Oh. Mother of the year award here
In a sad way she supported her kids dreams more than many parents.
More like supporting his nightmares.
Charged with terrorism for being racist and owning “tactical” gear in Texas?
Seems more like a friendly fire incident tbh.
The cops really didn’t feel like standing outside the school for hours doing nothing.
She looks nice
😅 1992!!!
Must be a gang tattoo.
Is this the unavoidable outcome of Juggalos reproducing?
Juggalos seem like decent people from everything I’ve seen.
I don’t know. Go ask your mom how you turned out.
This is the unavoidable outcome of multigenerational, societal failure.
It’s quite a hellhole we’ve made for ourselves here.
I bet you I can tell you what year she was born.
Ahhh, and here I thought she got ‘1992’ tattooed to commemorate the year that Mae Jemison became the first black woman to go to space.
Not too difficult.
Not sure what you mean, care to explain? It says her age in the article so you should be able to get within a 365 day guess.
Look at her neck
Can’t see it in the photo, and the video didn’t like to play, guessing you just don’t like her tattoo? I was thinking you were trying to say everyone born in a certain year was damned for some reason lol
Dude 1992 is tattooed on her neck. It’s in the photograph in the article.
So is everyone from 92’ a shit show? Or should we say that is a disgraceful thing to say all people from a tattoo are terrorists?
You seem to want to be angry so go ahead. Might I suggest being angry with this white supremacist who was buying ammo for their child to do a school shooting?
I said she shouldn’t have been allowed bail and the child should have been moved to her grandmother’s until it was sorted out. But it wasn’t anything about how she looks that mandated my wishes, it was her actions.
No, they are saying they can just read. They don’t imply anything about people born in 92.
? That was 100% tattoo bias. Think whatever you want.
Edit: or maybe arrest them and deport them to El Salvador for having a tattoo dictator
Sorry. But every person here is worse than Trump for their bias about a tattoo. If you think otherwise look yourself into her mirror. It’s a date, your a prescious bastard
At least she’s remorseful. You can see she’s crying.
They cry when they get caught. Up until they get caught it isn’t a problem.
She also found an “improvised explosive device” – a mortar-style firework wrapped in duct tape – among the boy’s belongings, the affidavit noted. The explosive device had the words “For Brenton Tarrant,” referencing the shooter in the 2019 mosque attack, along with multiple “SS” symbols and “14 words” – referencing white supremacy – written on it, according to the affidavit.
Ffs, the radical right has entirely too much influence.
Both of these comments having the same votes and only a single downvote is kinda wholesome props for Lemmy.
These positions are not in competition or at odds with eachother, they are both respected in different ways.
Loser Nazi fucks only go down the rabbit hole because they’re worthless and powerless in real life. They should bunker bust just like their dear leader did in 45’
Or they are, young and easy to manipulate. But yeah just throw em all away, When minors need psychological help ignore them and when theyre down the drain just tell em to off themselves.
You’re a disgrace
This is an American story. Psychological help is not an option there.
This is an American story. Psychological help is not an option there.
More to the point, it’s not an accessible option for most people in the USA.
This is a child. He attended middle school, so he’s at oldest 14. The article makes it sound like he was severely disturbed, he needs psychological care.
I’m sure she was raised by terrible parents or a terrible system. Nurture/Nature. Some people just need a hug.
While her parents may have been terrible people, it sounds as if it was the grandmother who reported it. Could be the grandmother from the fathers side though.
This most definitely seems like the child should have stayed full time at grandmas and not allowed the mother have bail though.
And some people just want to see the world burn.
We need fully funded, comprehensive health and fully funded education, fully funded social safety nets, as well.
