But I thought colored hair = liBeRaL!
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.
Ffs, the radical right has entirely too much influence.
Both of these comments having the same votes and only a single downvote is kinda wholesome props for Lemmy.
These positions are not in competition or at odds with eachother, they are both respected in different ways.

At least she's remorseful. You can see she's crying.
They cry when they get caught. Up until they get caught it isn’t a problem.
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.
Oh. Mother of the year award here
In a sad way she supported her kids dreams more than many parents.
More like supporting his nightmares.
One man's nightmare is another man's dream
son got tired of the "your mom = big tiddy goth gf" comments
Are the tiddies big?
Thank goodness for that grandmother
Poor kid. It’s the mom who should be punished, not him. Obviously, there are ethics considerations but these are the kinds of stories that make me momentarily feel like forced sterilization isn’t necessarily a bad thing.
Having a kid really should require a license. But there is no entity on earth that could be trusted to manage the process of issuing those licenses fairly. So, damned if we do, damned if we don't.
Hell, even if you could find someone to handle it fairly, it would just be a matter of time until someone subverted that organization for their own purposes. If there's power to be wielded, someone will abuse it.
Exactly. That is why humans can't have nice things. The same skills that made us the dominant species ensures we will ruin everything eventually.
The article said that the kid had stuff with Nazi and white supremacy symbols and words on it. I'm pretty sure he's not innocent in any of this.
Well, kids learn from thier parents. Unfortunately he was taught to hate. I don't think he is to blame. But of course he can't just go free either.
Agreed. We really should have better mental rehabilitative services, especially for youth but who am I kidding with how this country is going.
Sadly I think the reason why don't is that "modern" medicine really has no idea how to do it. I mean if we did, we probably still wouldn't spend on it... but one thing at a time.
Kids also learn from unfettered access to the internet, which it sounds like was a big factor in this case.
I had unfettered internet access and even checked out stormfront and other Nazi communities out of morbid curiosity (it was the 90s -- I really didn't think they'd ever be relevant again), but then I also didn't have social media, infinite scrolling, or dopamine jacking feeds, so fuck me maybe I just got lucky.
The internet tends to reinforce more than teach. Echo chambers tend to do that.
He’s in middle school. 13 year olds’ political beliefs don’t typically extend beyond whatever news channel their parents watch, and whatever pipeline YouTube has pushed them down. Could he cause a lot of damage with those political beliefs? Absolutely. But those beliefs didn’t spawn out of the ether. He didn’t just casually stumble upon them. They were put in front of him.
He's 14. He's about as innocent as every other child. While he should certainly be educated and corrected, allowing a child to fall into that shit is the fault of their guardian.
Do you remember all the stupid shit you thought and believed at 14?

You go Granny! Fuck those guys
Yeah that mugshot tells me most of the story
It's literally just a tattooed girl with dyed hair. You'd be more likely to see someone like her at an antifascist protest or a punk show than planning a neonazi massacre. Ask me to pick between that and a white guy in a polo shirt for which one is more likely to be a threat to society and it'd be the white guy ten times out of ten.
Yeah I was just being snarky, you're absolutely right.
I dunno. I like tattoos a lot and think they can look great on people but these are hella questionable.
Teardrop tattoos, so hot right now
She looks like the women who ran the bakery at the grocery chain I worked for. She also looks like the head of logostics for the third party shipper we use though her hair is Manic-Panic Magenta and Blue .

Thoughts and prayers.
Charged with terrorism for being racist and owning "tactical" gear in Texas?
Seems more like a friendly fire incident tbh.
The cops really didn't feel like standing outside the school for hours doing nothing.
Okay, so anybody knows what music is playing in the video?
Shazam is giving me wrong tracks only...

I bet you I can tell you what year she was born.
Ahhh, and here I thought she got '1992' tattooed to commemorate the year that Mae Jemison became the first black woman to go to space.

I'm sure she was raised by terrible parents or a terrible system. Nurture/Nature. Some people just need a hug.
We need fully funded, comprehensive health and fully funded education, fully funded social safety nets, as well.
