Sick details of how purple-haired mom 'helped son, 13, plan mass school shooting as a reward for babysitting'

A Texas mother with purple hair and a history of violent behavior is facing explosive new charges after allegedly arming her 13-year-old son in a foiled plot to unleash mass violence at his San Antonio middle school.

Ashley Pardo, 33, was arrested on Friday on a new charge of endangering a child with criminal negligence, just months after being accused of aiding in the commission of terrorism - the first person in Bexar County history to face such a charge.

According to court documents, Pardo purchased ammunition, tactical gear, and loaded magazines for her son, who authorities say drew chilling maps of his school marked 'suicide route,' idolized white supremacist mass shooters, and planned to carry out a massacre at Rhodes Middle School.

According to the arrest affidavit, Pardo allegedly gave her son tactical equipment 'in exchange for babysitting his siblings'.

Among the disturbing evidence was a photo Pardo allegedly sent to the father of an 11-month-old child, showing her holding a shotgun inches from the baby's head, finger on the trigger guard, while the child reached for the barrel.

'Tell her to keep being bad,' she reportedly texted, calling the infant a 'brat.'

Now in jail, Pardo was ordered on Friday to have no contact with her children and wear an ankle monitor if released. The judge also banned her from possessing firearms or consuming alcohol. Police say she showed no remorse.

'She appeared to be dismissive and unconcerned with her son's behavior,' San Antonio Police Chief William McManus said during a news conference in May...

The teen, who had previously been found hitting a live bullet with a hammer and researching the 2019 Christchurch mosque massacre, told his grandmother he was 'going to be famous,' referencing Brenton Tarrant, the New Zealand white supremacist responsible for killing 51 Muslims.

HOWEVER, I do wonder what the founders would have thought re: gun laws, had they realized just HOW far gone spiritually and mentally future generations would be...and how lethal the weaponry.

The Founders fully expected that there would be spiritually and mentally corrupt people in the USA - they just expected that they would be located primarily in the government (and they weren't entirely wrong). As far as some crazy anti troon types shooting up public places goes, the Founders would most likely be asking "Why don't the people shoot back?"

I did preface that our govt is itself problematic...and untrustworthy.

But I also wrote in a different post that I’ve been to some authoritarian-esque countries, and did appreciate things like cleaner public spaces and stringent day to day safety and order...However it comes with a huge moral cost...

I just don’t think our founders could have ever ever predicted and imagined the derangement present in this country...violence has always been a thing ,yes.

But not: the fatherlessness, the gender dysphoria, psychiatric epidemics, conscience numbing technologies, etc...

I doubt that. You make the Founders sound like Libertarians. "Everything is the fault of Statists."

I'm sure the Founders expected corrupt people to be located throughout society.

I see a drug addled freak. People like her need to be drug tested.

[Bikkuri]

She doesn’t look “white” at all...

Sure, but they wrote the 2nd Amendment with the idea of corrupt people overrunning the government specifically.

And the Founders were mostly libertarian in their thinking (in the traditional definition of the term, not the modern gay dope-uber-alles definition of the Libertarian Party).

Most Hispanics are Caucasian...

Skip Gates put a bug waaay up Sunny Hostin’s butt when he told her her ancestors on her mother’s side were Spanish slave-holders. Sunny says her mom identifies as Puerto Rican. Duh....

[null and void]

Laz?.....

[CondoleezzaProtege]

No it is not. Kids are safer today then they were through out most of human history.

Yes but could even the ancients (of ANY culture, even the most "savage") foreseen fellow KIDS shooting up other kids?

And all the hormonal gender dysphoric stuff? eek...

Some phenomena really is unique to our time....

I’m Hispanic, and when I heard that term White Hispanic for the 1st time, I just thought wtf-does this person not know anyone who is Hispanic? Two of my cousins in Florida are married to Hispanics who are mostly Black-but neither of them is from the continental US-one came from Puerto Rico and joined the AF, and the other was brought to Florida from Castro’s Cuba by her parents as a kid...

Indeed.

I agree.

[No name given]

I’m with you on this one.

[No name given]

Sadly.

One for the woodchipper. And take the son with her.

[joshua c]

they would have thought

self defense is self defense

and

self defense is a natural right

they also allowed an amendment process

[VanShuyten]

Just slightly more off than the Alpha Karen on the Dim ticket to be the new governor of Virginia.

[Deo volente]

If evil was personified she would fit the bill to a tee.

[Whatever Works]

Bring back asylums, consequences and sanity.

"Kids" were often sent into war well before turning 18.
