The mother of the 18-year-old gunman, Salvador Ramos, who shot dead 19 young children and two teachers and wounded many others in an elementary school in the small town of Uvalde, Texas, this week has said: “Forgive me, forgive my son.”
The Guardian reports that Adriana Martinez looked distraught as she wept in her car, telling CNN affiliate Televisa, in Spanish: “I have no words to say. I don’t know what he was thinking.”
Her interview aired on Friday as questions continued to multiply over the actions of law enforcement officials three days ago during the shooting, with gaps in the timeline and bewilderment and anger about how the gunman was inside for about an hour as armed officers held back. “He had his reasons for doing what he did. Please don’t judge him. I only want the innocent children who died to forgive me,” she said.
Earlier this week, Ramos, who had recently turned 18, shot his grandmother, badly wounding her, before storming into Robb elementary school in Uvalde. He was heavily armed and had a huge stash of ammunition, and killed 19 fourth-graders aged eight to 10 and two teachers with a semi-automatic rifle, wounding about 17 others. He was ultimately shot dead by a federal agent in a classroom in which he had barricaded himself with his victims.

General new cold faced days. It is horrible.
Apology NOT accepted!!! Cursed are the parents that beget such an evil child.
I have no idea whether the parents are guilty or not but it is wrong to assume guilt on the part of parents knowing nothing about them.
They weren’t the ones who gave him the gun
On NBC and on CNN they have 2 different fathers “mourning” over the same child but no tears. They interviewed other “parents” who didn’t shed a tear either. One of the “parents” interviewed had lively music in the background. At first they reported 15 dead and no injuries were reported. Then they suddenly got another 6 dead but no injuries. You have to be a first-class idiot to believe this hoax shooting. The same fake shooting as in Buffalo.
Your hoax
A spambot typed out your comment.
You have to be a first class idiot to believe a human composed that
Hey sleeper, take another shot and you’ll live forever.
Which alternate universe are you from?
Some things are not forgivable
So what was the sign that she missed her son was nuts?
“‘He had his reasons for doing what he did. Please don’t judge him. I only want the innocent children who died to forgive me,’ she said.”
Sure – he had legitimate reasons for gunning down innocent children and their teacher – we’re just too small-minded to fathom them, so therefore we shouldn’t judge him.
She is negating one of the sheva mitzvos bnei noach: Dinnim.
No one should be held accountable for their deeds and therefore should not be judged. They must have “a [justifiable] reason”.
And the dead children should forgive his mother. She may or may not have been at fault. It’s hard to believe that she didn’t know that he was unbalanced, but she may not have known that he purchased guns and therefore, very dangerous. If she did, then she should be jailed for not reporting to authorities.
