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.

[–] webghost0101@sopuli.xyz 43 points 6 days ago

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.

Loser Nazi fucks only go down the rabbit hole because they're worthless and powerless in real life. They should bunker bust just like their dear leader did in 45'

This is a child. He attended middle school, so he’s at oldest 14. The article makes it sound like he was severely disturbed, he needs psychological care.

[–] bathing_in_bismuth@sh.itjust.works 23 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Or they are, young and easy to manipulate. But yeah just throw em all away, When minors need psychological help ignore them and when theyre down the drain just tell em to off themselves.

You're a disgrace

[–] abbadon420@lemm.ee 5 points 6 days ago (1 children)

This is an American story. Psychological help is not an option there.

It's always heartwarming to read about supportive parents.

[–] tal@lemmy.today 59 points 1 week ago

Too many don't get involved with their children's activities at all these days.

If the kid has ambition, you've gotta support that. /s

I dunno, I feel like the adult sized surplus tactical gear is just going to get her son teased as he's carrying out his rampage.

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

[–] Modern_medicine_isnt@lemmy.world 9 points 6 days ago (1 children)

In a sad way she supported her kids dreams more than many parents.

[–] IamSparticles@lemmy.zip 9 points 6 days ago (1 children)

More like supporting his nightmares.

Charged with terrorism for being racist and owning "tactical" gear in Texas?

Seems more like a friendly fire incident tbh.

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.

[–] Modern_medicine_isnt@lemmy.world 14 points 6 days ago (1 children)

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.

[–] IamSparticles@lemmy.zip 10 points 6 days ago (1 children)

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.

Yeah that mugshot tells me most of the story

[–] Zaktor@sopuli.xyz 96 points 1 week ago (4 children)

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.

[–] xor@lemmy.dbzer0.com 19 points 6 days ago (4 children)

the type of tattoos tell a very, very different story than punk or antifascist….
for example, tear drops tattooed on the face usually mean you’ve killed someone.
the style of tattoo, like Olde English 1992 suggests gangbanger… i wouldn’t expect her to be a nazi but, wouldn’t want to hang out with her at a punk show either.

Yeah I was just being snarky, you're absolutely right.

[–] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 6 days ago

I dunno. I like tattoos a lot and think they can look great on people but these are hella questionable.

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 .

Reads headline "Huh?"

Sees picture "Oh."

Edit: oh my god it just keeps getting better.

Somebody forgot to explain to this kid what the 14 words crowd think about Hispanics.

[–] Stamau123@lemmy.world 23 points 6 days ago

I want to know why it's so easy for some hispanics to become nazis. Like bruh, that ain't a tan, you ain't white. I got a half mexican uncle with a swastika tattoo and he does not pull it off, so what the hell?

I'm sure she was raised by terrible parents or a terrible system. Nurture/Nature. Some people just need a hug.

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 21 points 1 week ago (1 children)

We need fully funded, comprehensive health and fully funded education, fully funded social safety nets, as well.

While her parents may have been terrible people, it sounds as if it was the grandmother who reported it. Could be the grandmother from the fathers side though.

This most definitely seems like the child should have stayed full time at grandmas and not allowed the mother have bail though.

[–] Jerb322@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

And some people just want to see the world burn.
