A Texas mother has been arrested and charged for allegedly buying ammunition and tactical gear for her son's planned "mass targeted violence" at his middle school, officials said.

Ashley Pardo, 33, was arrested on Monday and charged with aiding in commission of terrorism after she allegedly provided ammunition and tactical gear to her son, whose behavior demonstrated plans for a "mass targeted violence" aimed at Rhodes Middle School in San Antonio, according to an affidavit obtained by ABC News.

Back in January, Pardo's son was first contacted in reference to "drawings of the local school he currently attended," the affidavit said. These drawings included a map of the school -- labeled "suicide route" -- and the name of the school written beside a rifle, the affidavit said.

The son, who was not named in the affidavit, was contacted by officials at the time and described a "fascination with past mass shooters," according to the affidavit.

When I was a schoolboy, if my mother looked like that, I would have been placed in a foster home, and my mother placed in an asylum.

Mother looks like a purple-haired gangbanger.
She should be ordered to have her tubes tied.
Not good mother material.

Seems like the electric chair would be a fitting punishment, and that’s just for the damage to my eyes.

But on the inside she’s as ugly as sin.

We are told not to judge a book by it’s cover but when the cover shows a human sacrifice it is a pretty sure bet that what you find inside will not be a sweet love story.

Again more proof we need to reopen the mental hospitals closed in the 1970s. When closed and the inmates dumped on the streets mass killings took off like a rocket.
