A mom is accused of buying ammunition and tactical gear for her son, despite repeated warnings about violent plans at sc

school

Warning signs that a San Antonio middle school student had deadly intentions had been building for months, police say. They took on a new urgency Sunday when his grandmother walked into his bedroom.

There, she found rifle and pistol magazines “loaded with live ammunition” and a homemade explosive, according to a court document.

The following morning, while the boy’s mother took him to school, the grandmother called the police.

The mother, Ashley Pardo, 33, was arrested Monday and charged with aiding in the commission of terrorism. Authorities allege she provided her son with ammunition and tactical gear as payment for babysitting his younger siblings.

Well, the first mistake was paying her son to take care of the younger children. That should've been a family obligation Walleye May 2025 #6

Are they still around? For years they've been warning about jack-booted thugs, and now that they are actually here, crickets!

But that appears to be one really troubled and self-medicating mom.
Thank goodness for grandma at least having enough sense of self-preservation to report the boy when she found out what was going on.

The end result if the kid carried out his plan: 1) Killed by police or self-inflicted; or 2) Next 20 to life in prison. Either way, she'd lose her son. Again, who does this? Jesus.
