The father of the 18-year-old who shot and killed 19 students and two teachers at an Uvalde elementary school after shooting his grandmother in the face has apologized for his sons actions — but demanded “I don’t want them calling him a monster.” Salvador Ramos Sr. told the Daily Beast on Thursday, “I just want the people to know I’m sorry man, [for] what my son did.”
The 42-year-old admitted that he had not seen his son in some time due to his fears about being exposed to COVID-19. He said that his son became frustrated with his COVID concerns about a month ago and stopped speaking to him.
“I never expected my son to do something like that,” Ramos continued. “He should’ve just killed me, you know, instead of doing something like that to someone.”
Ramos told the outlet that he was working when his mother called him to tell him what was going on. He called the local jail looking for his son, before realizing what had happened.
“They killed my baby man,” he said. “I’m never gonna see my son again, just like they’re not gonna see their kids. And that hurts me.”
The Daily Beast reports that “Ramos insisted that his son was ‘a good person’ who ‘stuck to himself.'”
The father of the killer said that he wished his son had just shot him instead.
“My mom tells me he probably would have shot me too, because he would always say I didn’t love him,” he said.
The seemingly MIA parent blamed his son’s reportedly drug-addicted mother Adriana Reyes for not buying him more clothes. He said that he was often bullied at school for wearing the same pants every day. The father was, apparently, not concerned enough to buy him some himself.

“I don’t want them calling him a monster… they don’t know nothing, man,” he said. “They don’t know anything he was going through.”
The killer’s mother also made excuses for the monster she helped create.
In a Spanish-language interview she asked the public not to “judge” him because he “had his reasons.”
“I have no words. I have no words to say. I don’t know what he was thinking,” Reyes told CNN affiliate Televisa. “He had his reasons for doing what he did and please don’t judge him. I only want the innocent children who died to forgive me.”
Asked by the reporter what she would say to the victim’s families, Reyes said: “Forgive me. Forgive my son. I know he had his reasons.”
When asked what possibly reason he could have had, Reyes said “to get closer to those children instead of paying attention to the other bad things, I have no words. I don’t know.”
Here is the more important question: Did this KILLER wear or have any tactical gear (body armor etc) which is not available to the General Public?
He killed children ready to face a fun world of enlightenment.
You created this monster.
He hated you and destroyed them for it.
Yep - the “he’s really a good boy” is a dead giveaway of ultra crappy parenting. When murderer Scott Peterson’s parents went on TV to talk about what a good boy was, I knew he was guilty as hell.
If they were so “dirt poor” how did this KILLER drive a new $60K truck? “Oh, it was the Grandmother’s) How did she afford it?
Thanks.
I wouldn’t call him a monster. Demon possessed maybe, but not monster, which would be too good for him.

I don’t care what the sperm donor wants.
I’ll bet the apple didn’t fall far from the tree.
Having raised two Sociopaths, with one them also being a complete narcissistic psychopath, all I can say is I did everything I could to get them treatment, but to also insulate myself and my wife against any backlash for when they ultimately lose it like this piece of shit.
When the news reports some crime, I always assume its one of the two who was involved.
When that day comes, they will not get my sympathy or help. I will gladly take the stand against them. No matter how messed up they are, they know right from wrong, but always chose to do the wrong thing. When questioned why by their psychologist or Psychiatrist, they would just shrug and say I don’t know.
Cant they just shoot the kids dad and move on….
One of those AR15s lists for $2,100. The optics on that piece is $650. Tack on the 2nd AR, ammo, illegal pistol, and body armor, you’re looking at $5,000. All you need is a credit card and an FFL dealership for transfer for the weapons, and you’re in business. If he has decided to make this a 1 way trip, who cares about payments.
Most credit cards are unsecured. They don’t care about credit score. That’s how you build a credit score, through credit cards.
That wouldn’t have stopped anything, the shooter was out for blood lots of blood.
Damn him to hell, he got his blood.
That’s not true at all. At 18 I had an American Express card with no preset limits. I had been working full time since 16 so two years of work history as no Where near minimum wages. If you are not a Dr ad beat Amex will gladly give you a substantial line of credit. Four decades later I hold a Amex black card my membership.date is in the 1980s I love the look on people’s faces when you whip out the black and they see a 40 year membership.date.
That’s irrelevant to this story there already was an extensive write up on how this kid took a job at Wendy’s to save for guns he creeped his co-workers out talking about it all the time. They said he told them as soon as he had enough money he was.gone. $4000 is not that long of a time at $13 he which is what fast-food.pays now or more. The local Chic fil A is $15 plus now
At the age of 40, with a zero credit score and a 40k job I couldn’t get a credit card or a loan.
I don’t buy it. Nor do I buy that an 18 y/o saved his burger-flipping wages over the course of more than a year to fulfill a plan about which nobody had a clue.
19 children dead and 2 adults.
Not a monster?
Okie dokie.
LEAVE THE COUNTRY, you PATHETIC LOSERS!
WHO gains from this horror??? DEMOCRATS!
he had a job at Wendy’s.
“ WHO gains from this horror??? DEMOCRATS!”
Who gains from every horror?
The Democrats believe the American peasants are easily controlled imbeciles.
And every single time we prove them right.
