Texas Mother of the Year buys her white supremacist son ammo and tactical gear to kill his classmates

Mother allegedly buys ammunition, tactical gear for son's planned 'mass targeted violence' at middle school: Officials​

"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."

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.

In April, the son was found researching the 2019 Christchuch mosque shooting in New Zealand -- a tragedy that killed 51 people -- on a school-issued computer, the affidavit said.

He was "subsequently suspended and later in the day attempted suicide with a straight razor causing significant injuries and requiring over 100 stitches," the affidavit noted. The boy attended an alternative school until May 7, according to officials.

His grandmother, with whom he had been staying "on various occasions," contacted police on Monday after she found her grandson "hitting a live bullet with a hammer," the affidavit said.

The middle schooler told his grandmother he received the bullet from Pardo and that she had "guns and ammunition at her house," according to the affidavit.

The grandmother then looked through the boy's bedroom, where she found magazines loaded with live rifle ammunition and pistol magazines loaded with live ammunition, the affidavit said.

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.

Looking at the mugshot of her was like one of those 'signs' about trouble on the horizon by itself. Crazy.

Absolutely no signs that she was a nutter.....should be mandatory to sterilize women with purple hair and tattoos.

Are tattoos and colored hair now an immediate government intervention?

That's fun

LOL. It's a good start. That and the crazy eyes....we need a lot of new psych hospitals. That, and labor camps for the obese to cut medical costs by working them down to size. If you need two airline seats it;s off to hard labor for a couple of years. Use them to replace illegals on farms. Sweat them down to a healthy state.

I dunno. I say we get more serious about executions. Start culling the herd. So a few innocents get swept up, Bad luck. Change your hair dye to blonde or something.

Good training for military applicants. "I dodged the bullets from our school's scheduled serial killer."

Sort of like a red flag, wouldn't you say? But more importantly, are the circumstances of the matter:

• The school notified the mother that her son had mental health issues.
• He researched mass killings.
• He drew up plans and wrote messages indicating that he was targeting the school.
• His grandmother found ammunition in his room at her house, where he stayed rather than with his mother.
• The grandmother felt it was a concern and reported it.
• The grandmother saw him pounding a live round with a hammer!
• His MOTHER bought him armored vests, ammo, and he had access to her guns.
• His MOTHER bought him the stuff as payment for babysitting his younger siblings.
• He had an IED!
• The MOTHER said she had no problem with his mental state.

From the mugshot, I'd say the 'government' had some concerns about the mother AND the kid too, and justly so. I imagine the mothers and fathers of the other kids at that school were thinking the same thing, considering the circumstances.

All things considered, it's actually pretty amazing that they jumped on this BEFORE he offed half the school.

Kudo's to whoever made the hard decision.

I'm pretty sure my Mom picked up some bb's for me at the 5&dime.

Well let's face it the Columbine generation are now parents of teens.

Sure. How good is your eyesight now?

Surely, you aren't comparing your fine upbringing to this kid with some serious issues, nor a BB gun to the mother's armory?

It's not something to snicker about.

Guess, the school's parents would appreciate your snark.

Are you one of those all it takes is a little empathy and hand ringing and all the world's problems will be solved? I thank God every day for giving me a loving family and a wonderful life. Making smart choices tho was kinda up to me.

Plus: you're a little bit judgy.

Empathy’s a fine trait—keeps us human. But no, I don’t believe the world’s problems melt away with a group hug and some heartfelt hand-wringing. Real change takes grit, reason, and a little less kumbaya.

As for being judgy—guilty as charged. But hey, at my age, I’ve earned the right to hand out a few verdicts. Call it wisdom... or just too many birthdays and not enough patience.
