It’s always heartwarming to read about supportive parents.
💀
If the kid has ambition, you’ve gotta support that. /s
Too many don’t get involved with their children’s activities at all these days.
oh hey satan
I dunno, I feel like the adult sized surplus tactical gear is just going to get her son teased as he’s carrying out his rampage.
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.
Ah yes, those are options too. Thanks for the replies, guys!
Either stock library or AI, yeah. The news org won’t want to pay royalties for every single article that they post, so they’ll end up using stock media or AI, which doesn’t incur royalties.
Thoughts and prayers.
She looks nice
😅 1992!!!
Must be a gang tattoo.
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.
We need fully funded, comprehensive health and fully funded education, fully funded social safety nets, as well.
Just share your account info. We’ll get right on it!
And some people just want to see the world burn.

Mother of the year.
Thank goodness for that grandmother
You go Granny! Fuck those guys
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.
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.
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.
The internet tends to reinforce more than teach. Echo chambers tend to do that.
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.
Agreed. We really should have better mental rehabilitative services, especially for youth but who am I kidding with how this country is going.
Sadly I think the reason why don’t is that “modern” medicine really has no idea how to do it. I mean if we did, we probably still wouldn’t spend on it… but one thing at a time.
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.
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.
Yeah that mugshot tells me most of the story
I dunno, I thought the story was about lady Gaga before reading the headline.
So you like stereotyping?
Them brows though. /hj
/handjob? Wtf is /hj?
It means ‘half joking’ but yours is funnier.
Hahaha! Oh, ok. Thank you for clarifying! 🤣
It’s literally just a tattooed girl with dyed hair. You’d be more likely to see someone like her at an antifascist protest or a punk show than planning a neonazi massacre. Ask me to pick between that and a white guy in a polo shirt for which one is more likely to be a threat to society and it’d be the white guy ten times out of ten.
Teardrop tattoos, so hot right now
Yeah I was just being snarky, you’re absolutely right.
the type of tattoos tell a very, very different story than punk or antifascist….
for example, tear drops tattooed on the face usually mean you’ve killed someone.
the style of tattoo, like Olde English 1992 suggests gangbanger… i wouldn’t expect her to be a nazi but, wouldn’t want to hang out with her at a punk show either.You learn that on a true crime podcast or something? It’s a relatively common tattoo (at least relative to face tattoos in general) and can have all kinds of meanings. You haven’t cracked a secret code language.
The only thing you can read from this photo is she got tattoos on her face, so she probably wasn’t planning to work an office job when she got them.
awfully defensive, eh?
it’s not a secret code, bruh:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teardrop_tattoo
(in can mean other things, but a very crime/gang/prison thing)just because you’re not in the culture, doesn’t mean all face tatts are equal, or that you have any idea what you’re talking about.
and i’m not against face tattoos, i am very against judging people based on their tattoos, and i know the difference between gang tattoos and other subcultures.
if i were a betting man, which i am, i would put my money on: she’s being railroaded because she has crimey tattoos (most tattoos aren’t related to criminal subcultures, hers are)
Anything i could glean from those is that she’s NOT the kind of person to support neo-nazi ideology and murder, but probably had a gun or two and ammo…LOL. And are you “in the culture” after reading the Wiki page that specifically talks about how they can mean a lot of things and maybe none of them at all? Girls (and guys) get tears for all kinds of reasons, and jumping to “she killed people” or “she’s in a gang”, rather than “she’s experienced loss” or “she’s been abused” is the same level of tattoo pop-symbology that’s labeling every brown man with ink as “MS-13”.
oh child….
She looks like the women who ran the bakery at the grocery chain I worked for. She also looks like the head of logostics for the third party shipper we use though her hair is Manic-Panic Magenta and Blue .
I dunno. I like tattoos a lot and think they can look great on people but these are hella questionable.
Reads headline “Huh?”
Sees picture “Oh.”
Edit: oh my god it just keeps getting better.
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.
Somebody forgot to explain to this kid what the 14 words crowd think about Hispanics.
I want to know why it’s so easy for some hispanics to become nazis. Like bruh, that ain’t a tan, you ain’t white. I got a half mexican uncle with a swastika tattoo and he does not pull it off, so what the hell?
They are shamed into wanting to be white
And they’re close enough a lot of them pass
Just like asians
Ok I’ve never heard of Asians passing as white.
I mean, if we’re rich we’re as white as we want to be.
That’s how race works in this country:
If there’s a chance that you’re secretly wealthy and could ruin the career of a shitty cop, that’s the criteria for being considered white.
The closest we get is being referred to as “one of the good ones” by the bigoted assholes.
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.
Nobody:
Americans: GUNS SHOULD BE MANDATORAY!!!
But I thought colored hair = liBeRaL!
