The mother of a teenage gunman who shot and killed 21 people at a Texas elementary school is apologizing on behalf of her son and begging victims to forgive her.
"He had his reasons" and "Dont judge him" is not her giving her son a pass. it says "i feel responsible for this, direct your anger towards me, and try to forgive me." if we can't forgive her, we're no better than her son. he couldn't forgive either.
@TravelerPat not sticking up for her. But she did in fact say that. It was edited in this version. And if you tuck round until the end of the video you would have heard the newscaster say that as well.
I understand that she is heartbroken over what her son did... but she needs to understand that there is absolutely NO REASON to walk into a school and shoot innocent people. Her statement "He had his reasons" holds no weight and is a truly disgusting thing to say.
The timeline of events leads me to believe that he shot those kids a few at a time and basically left the others to watch their classmates die. The fact that it took so long and one of the students reported that half of them were still alive halfway through, leads me to believe that he enjoyed watching them suffer. There is NO REASON for what he did.
@@sebastianb.3978 no doubt. But I think there is a difference between him and the average mass shooter. While a lot of them just operate on rage/anger/impulse he seemed a little more sadistic.
Yep, beyond disgusting. Her statement deserves an inifinite amount of backlash from the families involved. Makes me so angry the way those words came out her putrid mouth.
The massacre isn’t on her, it’s on all of us. We failed to keep guns away from the killer. We choose to be the only nation where this kind of carnage happens regularly. Don’t kid yourself.
That should be the headline. I hope she takes that statement back. But the news want to blame everything else. We need to take a closer look at what made that Devil and how he grew up.
Where in the hell was she at when her son was killing innocent children? This lady says to forgive him ?? And he HAD HIS REASONS?? she must be crazy just like her damn son.
I always remind my child that his rights end when he oversteps the rights of other people. Children should be reminded that every action has consequences either good or bad. Don't justify their actions they will think they're never in the wrong or no matter what they do everything will be forgotten or forgiven.
@@baronedipiemonte3990 I'm a single parent I always prioritize my child's well being. Although I got your point. And most parents would think their children are not capable of doing such things.
Yes she did say her son had his reasons For doing that then the interviewer asked what could’ve been a reason she then says maybe for the parents to get closer to their children and not pay attention to other things.... like that even made any sense smh so sad.
@@SundayBlues555 I saw you taking up for the woman in another comment. We're not trying to bash her but when you give a response like that, you have it coming for you! To say "she had her reason" is a smack in the face.
The saddest part is this woman doesn’t understand how disrespectful she’s being to the victims or the parents/ families of the victims. No one wants to hear that their child’s murderer had “reasons” for killing them or that he shouldn’t be judged. A mother will stand by her son side no matter what but at some point you gotta admit that your child isn’t the best person you know and that you’re part of the reason too.
Imagine this serpent shot his own grandmother in the face and this bitch is asking people to forgive him 😂 Was the grandma her mother or the fathers mother?
She did not apologize to the victims families. She gave an excuse for her son and asked for herself to be pardoned. No where in her words was there acceptance of responsibility, accountability, remorse…in fact…not even one real tear.
People love to blame, and this woman's life is ruined forever. A classmate that knew him well was interviewed and made it very clear. "He was NOT bullied." "He liked to hurt animals." Psychopathy is REAL.
@@neilspun3691 yeah like the police will do anything. They say back for 77 minutes while he m*rdered a bunch of children. They stopped parents from going in and waiting while he emptied his weapon on kids. They are useless
The mother said in that interview in Spanish that her son must have had his reasons. 🤦♂️ the guy lived with his grandparents. His mother stayed in town with a boyfriend supposedly. The father lived out of town due to his job. There were warning signs but no one reported him. Even if they reported him there’s no law to keep him from buying those weapons for suspicious activity. The police were cowards for not rushing in immediately. They waited too long, some need to lose their jobs. They rather fight with parents trying to go into school than go after the perpetrator. The police were many with bullet proof vests and the perpetrator was alone. 🤦♂️
So her justification is, “he had his reasons, don’t judge him?” There are no reasons lady, none to justify that evil act. It’s better that she should not have spoken at all.
She didn’t day they were justifiable reasons. Give the woman a break, she’s in shock. She can’t be expected to say anything well thought out so soon after this shooting happened. We don’t even know if her statements were translated accurately. I wish people would stop blaming parents.
What the hell??? Her son killed 21 people and she’s over here with her « he had his reasons » and asking people to forgive him?! SHE FAILED AND IS STILL FAILING AS A MOM. Maam your son KILLED people. Ain’t no one gonna forgive him anytime soon. She’s just bringing shame upon herself now. It stings a little more then me then for some I think since I understand Spanish,and they put captions,so im taking in this pathetic woman’s excuses twice :/ Shame in the mom and the cops
HE HAD HIS REASONS??? WHAT??? With all due respect that is such a fake apology. That’s like disrespecting someone on purpose and then saying “I’m sorry you feel that way” She was better off just not saying anything 😤
I think she is in denial. None of us know how we would react after something like this but I don’t think I would be on camera. I definitely think it’s unfortunate that she said “he had his reasons”, though. Dude…
@@The-Omni-Saiyan_6798 Ppl never do think their child/Brother/Sister/Mother/Dad is capable of this. The problem is there are ppl who clearly are capable of this, and her kid was 1 of them. While the media is pushing the anti Gun rights narrative, along with the Democrat Party and current regime. There needs to he answers on what this kid was about, and what caused him to be so screwed in the head to do this. There also needs to be answer Stat, on just where the hell he got 7 k for 2 AR 15s, a hand gun, all that extremely expensive ammo and clips. There is no way in hell he made that at Wendy's working for a few months. The truth needs to be told right this minute. The media can stop lying about it because ppl who can do basic math know better! Where did he get the money and who helped him get all of this without flagging the system? Who is the woman he was talking to online? Her name is Mae and she has a Hispanic. Last name. Why with all of his behavioral issues at school did the school not insist he gets mental help? This kid was self harming and harming animals. He was so out of control that his Mother could not handle him and dropped him off at her Parents house. Ppl never want to talk about these issues but this is the only place we will ever find answers to what causes ppl to do this. Just talking about taking guns from ppl who have never done this and will never do this gets us nowhere! Wake up! Answers must be sought here.
I believe she's just in shock and is just saying things impulsively, not thinking of her words. She has to live with the fact that her son did an unforgivable thing, and it's tearing her apart from within.
@@TheNotoriousNemo “a loser parent”? Who are you? Are you a parent? If you are your a shitty parent for thinking you are a perfect parent because you sure as hell are not. I pity your children if you do have any because I know they will not be taught to have empathy even in the face of tragedy.
She raised an incel, she knew what kind of person she was shaping him into without knowing the culture surrounding that personality. She most likely has no clue what "incel" is or what "4chan" is, but he was radicalized as an incel on 4chan, and decided to commit a school shooting.
He had NO REASON to do what he did. She’s making excuses for him again. Just as she’s been doing his whole life. She’s still not disciplining her son even after he’s dead, taking 21 innocent people with him.
She sounds like a POS just like her son saying “he had his reasons” she should be held accountable for her sons behavior bc she shouldve reported him if she “felt uneasy about his behavior at times”
I totally agree with you Catapillagirl. This is a multi facetted problem. Concerning the Uvalde massacre of precious children in Texas. This is becoming more frequent. I see many becoming mad, sad or Politicians trying to take advantage or the situation, but very few good idea's being talked about or implemented. Here is my two cents. First off I believe strongly about the 2nd Admendment and no one is taking my gun in a society where they are defunding the Police and taking gang units out by the defunding who were getting guns off the street, zero bail, Soros funded DA's letting out criminals early, not charging them for many of their crimes, and changing laws like theft to $950 before it's a crime to detour. How is this working out? Plus we had lock downs and job losses because of covid and before that riots that burned down businesses, creating more homeless, money problems and mental health problems and more. BUT we need to do something to protect our precious innocent children. When I was young this type of thing was rare. Why? Less population was one and open borders do not help. Also we did not have radicals on the internet trying to radicalize our children then. This needs to be monitored and safeguards by the parents at a minimum or State. If the parents or those in charge see worrisome behavior the parents need to act on it, and not just think their child is that innocent 8 year old they used to have. This is really caring for the child and society. So hold the parents responsible if they can prove the Parent knew and did nothing with a fine and or misdemeanor. We also did not have China giving us a virus and the Government and rich taking advantage of the situation at our expense. Also have you noticed that many of the school shootings were done by like 18 to 20 year olds? Make it illegal to own guns if under 21 unless you are in the Military which is under guidance and discipline. How about 2 armed guards at schools with a metal detector and one entrance? Many are complaining about Texas gun laws, but from my studies, most of the States with the most liberal gun laws have the lowest crimes from guns. And when crime is up over 50% in many Democrat run cities, I will not give up my guns to defend myself, loved ones and the innocent. If one has been convicted of a violent crime whether 16 or 60, make it illegal for them to own a gun. At least they are giving serial numbers now to ghost guns which can be traced, or give them 90 days to register or a fine and if used in a crime without being registered triple the fine and add a misdemeanor. Find ways to make it harder for criminals, young gang members and mentally ill to get guns. If school teachers want to take the training, let them carry and protect. To me these seem practical and not emotional. I came up with several others, but many have brought them up before by others. Just my 2 cents.
She's probably in a state of disbelief. Can't think straight with all the pressure. Plus every mother loves their child to the point they're blind to any wrongdoings of their child
With people saying he was bullied for being poor, let me ask how this young man bought two weapons and nearly 400 rounds of ammo? You know how expensive that is????? This is questionable
I’m so sad for her,but there is no forgiveness for her son. “He had his reasons”. And NOT ONE of them is forgiveable! May those sweet children, teachers and Mrs Garcia’s husband Rest In Peace. 🙏🏼
He had his reasons??? You being a drug addict was maybe one of them?? There r NO reasons that could ever answer for the cowardly deed of gunning down little innocent children!! None....how can she even show her face on a news camera?? Her son even shot her mother...where's the reasoning in that? What could he have had against 19 beautiful children??
@@katherineleonowski7289 it’s half her freaking fault. If she would have raised a decent young man it wouldn’t have happened. He didn’t even have to be decent, had she tried at all as a mother it prolly doesn’t happen. There’s a reason he didn’t live with her.
@@katherineleonowski7289 Relax on the mom, she lost like you said her own mother, her son and now has to live with her sons legacy, the fact shes alive and breathing takes a lot of strength after losing everything yourself and now being looked at as a monster
Right ? Forgive him. He had his reasons. Don’t judge him. Like I know she’s probably right. It’s important to forgive and let hate out of your heart. But if your son just murdered my 10 yo in class and his teachers I would turn a deaf ear at the least, and get enraged at her at the worst. I’m only human too, and I’m not gonna front. It takes a god tier heart to forgive this. Not impossible. But max, you’re right.
You could tell she was SUCH a careless lenient parent who did not pay attention to the signs. Don’t judge him?? He had his reasons?? She’s just as guilty as he is probably the BIGGEST guilt is HERS.
Wow!!! “Please don’t judge him” “I know he had his reasons” Is she taking crazy pills? What heartlessness in her response. I can’t believe the nerve of her.
She just lost her son who killed 21 people, kids and adults, and is now seeing all of the damage he did. Of course she is! I mean, would you be sane after learning that your mom was shot by your son who then proceeded to kill 21 people, most kids, and then take his own life? Tell me, would you?
Yes, I agree. She's absolutely out of her mind. Not only did she lose her son, but he's also responsible for the deaths of so many as well. I can't imagine what mental torture that would be for a mother.
Her dialect is not like ours. She doesn't speak English so she trying to say it the best was she can through pain and shame. I don't think she meant "he had his reason" ESPECIALLY since bright before that she said "I don't know what he was thinking". I'm thinking she meant, "he didn't have a reason". She didn't do this. She's hurting like the rest of us. And she's carrying the shame of it which actually isn't hers to carry.
I don’t have a high opinion of her given her words and her history with her son, but saying this on camera i fear for her. She should not have gone on camera
He took innocent lives because he had twisted intentions to do so! Everyone has reasons for doing something. It’s ludicrous to take others lives just for the heck of it! That’s totally insane Ma’am. Accept the fact that your late son was obviously extremely disturbed!
@@Q.T-T I hope you will take some accountability that her late son was extremely disturbed. Not judging her but truly extreme dysfunction. We all have issues but don't extend it beyond where it hurts others . These types of perps can't reason past their egos.
She failed as a parent and gave up when she let him move out to his grandparents home. She knew he was troubled and just let his grandparents deal with. This horrific act of evil falls on the hands of many important people that had the chance to save innocent lives if endless care, support, and faith was applied.
I don’t agree with either sides. The mother of the gunman needs to be careful what she says and the parents of the victims shouldn’t be confronting her either. The shooter was bullied growing up during his childhood cuz of his speech impediment. If anyone needs to be confronted, it should the police officers who failed to do anything during the shooting and Texas Governor Gregg Abbott for making it easier to legally purchase guns while knowing the number of shootings we’ve been having in our country lately.
I do feel bad until she said “please don’t judge him” she failed as a parent and her son had no reason to go to the elementary school to kill innocent children and teachers.
YOUR military and Is rael kill children everyday .. using YOUR tax dollars .. get off your high horse! Don't forget to thank the soldiers for their service!
Were those kids the ones who bullied him? If he was going to do it and there was no way to foresee or stop him, find reason with your tormentors. This trend of taking your anger out on little defenseless children had everything to do with following Sandy Hook.
Ikr? “He had his reasons for slaughtering innnocent children that we don’t understand so forgive him. Don’t judge him” -She’s just as crazy as he is! Mental illness is real in that family.
“He had his reason” BS!! There is zero, ZERO reason to take the life of anyone especially innocent children that had their whole life ahead of them. They were defenseless babies!!
I can think of a dozen reasons to murder. And those children were spared a lifetime of misery and confusion. Anyone out here who looks happy is just really good at pretending. Dude did those kids a favor.
I hope that this is just a poor translation of what she was actually saying. I cannot fathom anyone saying "They had their reasons" in response to their child murdering innocent people.
Don't judge him forgive him WTF!!!?? How can you forgive a person who first shot your mother in the face and didn't feel a thing for her life and then goes to an elementary school and kill little kids, what reason did he had to kill innocent little kids? She wants the victims to forgive her son that doesn't care for any human life.
May be that grandma was her mother in law and that’s why she justifying him 😀.. anyway jokes apart this woman is crazy as her son. She is making no sense.
We are all asking the wrong questions. We need to be asking wtf is going on in our society that is making young 18 year old men want to do these things? My dad told me guns were way easier to access when he was growing up and almost everyone had one. None of this sh*t was happening. What has changed to where we are seeing so much of this now?
@@edwardvane8195 No he was not. He did, however, torture and kill a cat before this. And his fat mother knew it and attempted to help him cover up the evidence. He was no victim.
@@jmill3147 Yes he was! His classmates used to insult him for being poor and they even said he was going to be a school shooter!!! Those are insults that can make anybody crazy! It's just like the Joker movie!
@@edwardvane8195 He f'n bragged about torturing animals. He threatened women online. Yea, I cannot for the life of me figure out why they would dare say such things.. hmmmm
@@jmill3147 Like I said, when somebody suffers pain eventually they get tired of it and they react by inflicting pain on someone else. Those to whom evil is done do evil in return. What you just responded with does not in any way refute what I originally stated
"had his reasons", this woman should just not say anything out of respect for all the victims and grieving families. That is so thoughtless, what reason would anyone have for killing children!
Chicken shit! She also says - "He's not a monster". If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, then . . . . The parents are completely to blame because something went wrong with him, and they all just looked the other way.
@@javierpacheco8234 I will never say that he has his reasons for killing innocent 21 people. This is against humanity. I would feel that I failed as a mom to raise a good person.
“He had his reason to do what he did “. As a parent and as a person I don’t believe that there’s a reason neither a motive to commit such a horrendous crime. Fly high precious angels 🙏🏽💐💐. I am truly sorry. My deepest condolences to all of those parents that lost their beautiful children.
Mrs. Nirmala Giri: Exactly. How can she say this -- "he had his reasons to do this". She is justifying his horrendous act. What kind of a woman is she....sitting on the other side of the world I am unable to digest this. Not able to get over this. Just imagine the plight of the parents of these little ones & those four kids who have lost both parents.
"he has his reasons" UMMMMMMMMMMMM there is NO REASON TO GO ON A MASS KILLING SPREE that is forgivable. I don't blame her but I don't agree that he is not to blame.
you don't blame her? why? clearly there was not enough personal connection between her and her child for him to do such a thing to other human beings. people not to stop passing that very important piece to the side just because shes is hispanic and cannot speak english, that's the only reason why you feel bad right?
@@aaronvdubz1742 what are you talking about when I say I don't blame her she did not hand her son that gun and walk him to that school and tell him to do that as far as his upbringing and whatnot she can be at blame for his mental state but as for the actual shooting no I don't blame her has nothing to do with race don't know where you even got that from.
@@aaronvdubz1742 also where exactly in my post did I say I felt bad I don't feel bad for her I never said I felt bad for her you really need to stop injecting your own thoughts into other people's posts and actually read what they wrote.
Don't judge him? Lady, are you nuts? He judged all those that he killed, injured and traumatized. A most ridiculous statement from this woman. Maybe she needs some jail time. She obviously doesn't get it. She is making excuses after her kid murdered people. Can you imagine what he has been getting away with? Unbelievable.
“He had his reasons”…she says that as if he has an excuse to do what he did🤨…and then continues to tell people to “don’t judge him”? It’s too late for that he has every reason to be judged and publicly hated
@@nataliab.1025 I agree. We did this to ourselves. Our government pushes hatred and division and we allow it as long as our team (red or blue) is winning. We now have angry young men roaming around mowing people down because we as society have failed.
The “he had his reasons” irks me 😒 Everybody has a reason for the things they do, but other people wouldn’t try to kill innocent children over whatever their reasons are.
He had his reasons which were narcissistic anger/hatred. If he was bullied he was of legal age and could’ve sought mental health treatments/counseling but often teens reject help.
Everyone has a reason for what they do. Doesn’t mean it’s good. She definitely needed to send her condolences and shut her mouth. She’s in a hard situation but she needs to just give her apologies or condolences and keep quiet
Unbelievable, he had he’s reasons! There is absolutely no reason, not one, to go inside a school and kill innocent children and teachers. How can he not be judge, he was psycho and evil! Lady your not the victim here.
"he had his reasons" probably refers to mental instability or depression, i know it's not the perfect way to phrase it but I can't imagine the pain she must be going through. Let's cut her some slack and keep in mind that these are words from someone who is beyond distressed. It's real life, when do we ever say the right thing with the right words under extreme stress situation? never, that's when.
I agree and also think the language barrier could make it come out different than she meant, because no one would say such a thing as He had his reason’s. Surely she meant He had serious mental problems.
She is a horrible mom, one of her boyfriends SA’d Salvador when he was young but she did not believe him. Salvador dropped out of school since 9th grade and moved in with his grandma shortly before the incident. She failed to provide him a stable, safe, loving, and caring home. She cries to not judge her son and that he has his reason because she knows she are the reason and does not wished to be judged upon as well. Shame on her. Sending wishes to Uvalde and hoping the community can strengthen in mental health as it is a small town that often overlooks the importance of it.
I want to know how he was able to afford 2 $ rifles, a $750 scope, tactical gear and 1600 rounds of ammo on an 8 hour a week McDonald's job at minimum wage?
Having reasons implies knowing how reason works and being reasonable. She's partially right. A parent can't protect their kids from a bullying culture 24 hrs/day. She has no power against a f'd up society.
shes a drug addict who sent him to live with his grandmother because she cant hold a job lmao maybe if he had a good mother figure in his life he wouldn't have shot up a school
Real shit this lady shows you why this happens she doesn’t even know she’s being disrespectful after the horrible shit her son did , no buisness having children
this isn't a case of someone being bullied and pushed to the brink and lashing out violently, this is a case of someone reprehensible and disgusting murdering children. your son is unforgiven.
That is why I'm not really down with people hyper analyzing what she's saying right now. She's lost more than most people ever will. She probably shares a degree of the blame of what happened, but obviously this is not what she was going for when raising her son and her grief is as real as anyone else's.
This is such a tragedy, but should be a wake up call to parents: Love your child, raise them up right, because there are a LOT of lazy, selfish parents who are raising future killers.
Casemboo: Thank you. This is the FIRST comment that makes sense. There are parents who just don't give a f***! Look at NYC....I live here and see it everyday!
@@ghostsnipertrue Truth, our society unfortunately is going to mold a lot of abusers and killers as well, but I will NOT be the reason my kid grows up to be a detriment to society.
“Please don’t Judge him” “ I am sure he had reasons” I am sure mom is going through hell right now so will reserve judgment till later when she’s more calm. However, she should weigh her words carefully and not offer any excuses! Her son didn’t wake up one day and decide to be a monster! Her quiet and polite son had been turning into a monster for a long time right under her nose!!
Sometimes we are the worst thing for our kids. Sometimes they need a border school and mental health to learn correct thinking. There are no excuses for this.
Exactly you don't slowly turn into a monster that sh** is in you from the start and shame on all the family for not seeing this sooner. So 😡 for those those kids this should not have happened!
She's one of those mothers who didn't take his issues seriously, or may have even been the one to start it, people with untreated personality disorders are always on edge of snapping
Hope your children don’t turn out to be killers, oh wait, it’s human nature to kill, it’s all about the justification for us. Never forget we are wild animals with a basic level cognizant understanding. Just because you would feel justified in taking this mans life ultimately it would make you no better than him by your own logic.
@UCm1ywZyXOXjDxkbzTbXcrHg "Years and years of mental and physical abuse are the only thing that can drive somebody to that." There is not an iota of evidence that Ramos was bullied. And your assertion that "the only thing that can drive someone to do this is years of abuse" is just a flat-out stupid statement. Some people are simply evil psychopaths. This little animal was one. Just another fact to destroy your stupid assertion.....the Columbine shooters weren't bullied. That turned out to be a lie. They were just demented.
Yeah like imagine hearing about your son killing a bunch of little kids as well as your own mother (or mother in law) and then having the audacity to say well he must have had reasons. Yeah try telling that directly the families of the kids as they bawl their eyes out on the graveyard
"He had his reasons" what reason does someone have for going into a school to shoot and kill children you don't even know?! "Don't judge him" lady everyone is gonna judge him! What he did is UNFORGIVABLE! Understandable she is sad her son did this horrible act. But what about the sons & daughters that died? Those parents are the saddest!😢
Her son did not have the right to KILL .... She does not have the right to ask for Forgiveness for her Son or Herself ... as for his reasons no doubt she is a HUGE part of his MISERY ... her and her boyfriend/s!!!
i was feeling bad until she said "I know he had his reasons." Even as a parent, someone who did this is really unforgivable.If she was asking for forgiveness and just peace not knowing her son was this way that's different but. you can't defend these actions.
Calm down, the woman doesn't speak English so her dialect is not like ours. I do not believe she was making an excuse but rather wanted to say there was no reason as she couldn't understand why he did what he did. The translator said she said "I don't know what he was thinking".
@@Dr.PrettyProfessor yeah but like... I flunked Spanish in school and even I could still specifically hear the word "he", some form of the root word "to have", and the word "reasons" during those parts so like. Doesn't really seem like a mistranslation...

“He had his reasons” and “Don’t judge him” really? Does she not understand, her son literally killed 21 people, I bet she doesn’t know what it feels like to lose a close, loved one. Apologizing isn’t going to do anything lady! What? You think you can apologize and ✨magically✨ Bring them back alive? It doesn’t work like that lady! Pay attention!
His reasons? He had his reasons???? Wtf! He was a nice quiet boy? Ummm, he tortured and killed cats! Seriously don't wish this on any mother but, c'mon!
he had reasons to kill innocent children ? BABIES ??? This woman angers me so much. So are the families supposed to just forget that he was the one that took their kids life just because he had a bad day ?? LIVES ARE NOT RETURNABLE. Very upset with this ignorant woman.
It's really too bad this is on youtube. She wasn't properly advised as to what to say in response to this tragedy. She was part of the problem but she didn't pull the trigger.
@@montreauxs I agree. I also don’t speak Spanish that well so I’m not going to act like I fully understand her tone or the nuances of the language that Spanish speakers might know.
the comments on this should be disabled. she's in a horrifying position, and this is heartbreaking. she might not have spoken perfectly, but that's understandable. if she was accosted for this "interview", the reporter and cameraman should feel ashamed.
As a mother, I think I can understand a TINY bit. Cognitive dissonance… holding two conflicting beliefs. Maybe she is trying to reconcile two opposite versions of her son in her mind and it’s just not possible. One version is a sweet, innocent baby (because they will always be your baby regardless) and the other version is something she doesn’t recognize. A murderer with absolutely no conscience whose life apparently took a sharp left turn somewhere. And everything that came out of her mouth made no sense simply because wrapping her head around it and making sense of it just isn’t possible. Just my thoughts.
I'm glad someone here is actually trying to be understanding. Everyone else is so completely judgemental like they could do no wrong. I guess "putting yourself in someone's else's shoes" is a lost art.
“He had his reasons” and “Don’t judge him” are such a slap in the face for the families who lost their loved ones.
he'll be judged by G-d, she clearly didn't get the wooden spoon out. There's no reasoning that can justify this, her son is in gehennom.
i agree what reason would it be for a grown man to kill little kids? there's no excuse everrr my heart is sad for the families 😥😥
@TravelerPat exactly. it really seems like she made no effort to know her own child.
"He had his reasons" and "Dont judge him" is not her giving her son a pass. it says "i feel responsible for this, direct your anger towards me, and try to forgive me."
if we can't forgive her, we're no better than her son. he couldn't forgive either.
@TravelerPat not sticking up for her. But she did in fact say that. It was edited in this version. And if you tuck round until the end of the video you would have heard the newscaster say that as well.
I understand that she is heartbroken over what her son did... but she needs to understand that there is absolutely NO REASON to walk into a school and shoot innocent people. Her statement "He had his reasons" holds no weight and is a truly disgusting thing to say.
Agreed
Absolutely.
Exactly.... only reason would be YOU'RE A CHILD OF SATAN PERIOD..ENJOY HELL ...WE DON'T NEED TO JUDGE YA
TF REASONS SMDH
I'd give her the benefit of the doubt... it might've been lost in translation.
100% agree
The timeline of events leads me to believe that he shot those kids a few at a time and basically left the others to watch their classmates die. The fact that it took so long and one of the students reported that half of them were still alive halfway through, leads me to believe that he enjoyed watching them suffer. There is NO REASON for what he did.
Even if he just gunned them down in seconds he would have earned his first class ride down to hell.
@@sebastianb.3978 no doubt. But I think there is a difference between him and the average mass shooter. While a lot of them just operate on rage/anger/impulse he seemed a little more sadistic.

She failed as a parent in the most catastrophic way possible. For her to say that he “had his reasons” and to ask that he not be judged is disgusting.
And his father !!!!
Yep, beyond disgusting. Her statement deserves an inifinite amount of backlash from the families involved. Makes me so angry the way those words came out her putrid mouth.
Please dont be too harsh, she is speaking in her own language and translations can carry different emotive context and tones across cultures.
@@looksok3327 whT about his father
The massacre isn’t on her, it’s on all of us.
We failed to keep guns away from the killer. We choose to be the only nation where this kind of carnage happens regularly.
Don’t kid yourself.
“He had his reasons for doing this”, “please don’t judge him”…… wow! Unbelievable.
Shes probably in denial
She's an idiot don't judge him outrageous!
That should be the headline. I hope she takes that statement back. But the news want to blame everything else. We need to take a closer look at what made that Devil and how he grew up.
She needs to confront civil lawsuits; then she will learn the victims reasons
You can join your son in hell then. There was absolutely NO reason for his actions. You're an idiot just like him.
Where in the hell was she at when her son was killing innocent children? This lady says to forgive him ?? And he HAD HIS REASONS?? she must be crazy just like her damn son.
I always remind my child that his rights end when he oversteps the rights of other people. Children should be reminded that every action has consequences either good or bad. Don't justify their actions they will think they're never in the wrong or no matter what they do everything will be forgotten or forgiven.
Thank you for how you're trying to raise your kids. But sometimes despite the parents best efforts, you have a bad seed
@@baronedipiemonte3990 I'm a single parent I always prioritize my child's well being. Although I got your point. And most parents would think their children are not capable of doing such things.

Well, maybe that's not actually what she said in Spanish? I don't speak it but I don't think she said that... but idk
@@SundayBlues555 she did say that
Yes she did say her son had his reasons
For doing that then the interviewer asked what could’ve been a reason she then says maybe for the parents to get closer to their children and not pay attention to other things.... like that even made any sense smh so sad.
@@SundayBlues555 I saw you taking up for the woman in another comment. We're not trying to bash her but when you give a response like that, you have it coming for you! To say "she had her reason" is a smack in the face.
The saddest part is this woman doesn’t understand how disrespectful she’s being to the victims or the parents/ families of the victims. No one wants to hear that their child’s murderer had “reasons” for killing them or that he shouldn’t be judged. A mother will stand by her son side no matter what but at some point you gotta admit that your child isn’t the best person you know and that you’re part of the reason too.
Would they prefer to hear the killings were completely indiscriminate?
@@MrDrProfessorMidgetI think they would prefer for the woman to at least show her condolences or to not say anything at all.
@@jasminexoxo3970 @Random A She showed her condolences. If they don't want to hear it they don't have to listen. the beauty of America.
@@mercedes9146 I speak Spanish and no that’s not what she said! And her saying those kids “died” no those children were murdered. A big difference.
Imagine this serpent shot his own grandmother in the face and this bitch is asking people to forgive him 😂 Was the grandma her mother or the fathers mother?
She did not apologize to the victims families. She gave an excuse for her son and asked for herself to be pardoned. No where in her words was there acceptance of responsibility, accountability, remorse…in fact…not even one real tear.
Hold her responsible to a certain degree!! There is ABSOLUTELY NO REASON for someone to shoot innocent children. WTF is wrong with her!!!🤮🤮🤮🤮
People love to blame, and this woman's life is ruined forever. A classmate that knew him well was interviewed and made it very clear. "He was NOT bullied." "He liked to hurt animals." Psychopathy is REAL.
So is reporting him to the police when he hurt animals. Classmate, mother and grandmother did not. Where the F84k is the father?
good! she is a worthless former mother!
@@neilspun3691 yeah like the police will do anything. They say back for 77 minutes while he m*rdered a bunch of children. They stopped parents from going in and waiting while he emptied his weapon on kids. They are useless
@@neilspun3691 the police don’t give a shit about stuff like that lol be realistic
The mother said in that interview in Spanish that her son must have had his reasons. 🤦♂️ the guy lived with his grandparents. His mother stayed in town with a boyfriend supposedly. The father lived out of town due to his job. There were warning signs but no one reported him. Even if they reported him there’s no law to keep him from buying those weapons for suspicious activity. The police were cowards for not rushing in immediately. They waited too long, some need to lose their jobs. They rather fight with parents trying to go into school than go after the perpetrator. The police were many with bullet proof vests and the perpetrator was alone. 🤦♂️
So her justification is, “he had his reasons, don’t judge him?” There are no reasons lady, none to justify that evil act. It’s better that she should not have spoken at all.
He had his reasons is not what I expected her to say
The only reason is that he was a phsyco
She didn’t day they were justifiable reasons. Give the woman a break, she’s in shock. She can’t be expected to say anything well thought out so soon after this shooting happened. We don’t even know if her statements were translated accurately. I wish people would stop blaming parents.
What the hell??? Her son killed 21 people and she’s over here with her « he had his reasons » and asking people to forgive him?! SHE FAILED AND IS STILL FAILING AS A MOM. Maam your son KILLED people. Ain’t no one gonna forgive him anytime soon. She’s just bringing shame upon herself now. It stings a little more then me then for some I think since I understand Spanish,and they put captions,so im taking in this pathetic woman’s excuses twice :/ Shame in the mom and the cops
HE HAD HIS REASONS??? WHAT???
With all due respect that is such a fake apology. That’s like disrespecting someone on purpose and then saying “I’m sorry you feel that way” She was better off just not saying anything 😤
She’s absolutely delusional. Kids that knew him and worked with him said he was rude and a wannabe bully but no one was intimidated by him.
No one except the police department
I think she is in denial. None of us know how we would react after something like this but I don’t think I would be on camera. I definitely think it’s unfortunate that she said “he had his reasons”, though. Dude…
Maybe but she is just like the other parents who had no idea they would lose their child. She is in shock
@@The-Omni-Saiyan_6798 Ppl never do think their child/Brother/Sister/Mother/Dad is capable of this. The problem is there are ppl who clearly are capable of this, and her kid was 1 of them. While the media is pushing the anti Gun rights narrative, along with the Democrat Party and current regime. There needs to he answers on what this kid was about, and what caused him to be so screwed in the head to do this. There also needs to be answer Stat, on just where the hell he got 7 k for 2 AR 15s, a hand gun, all that extremely expensive ammo and clips. There is no way in hell he made that at Wendy's working for a few months. The truth needs to be told right this minute. The media can stop lying about it because ppl who can do basic math know better! Where did he get the money and who helped him get all of this without flagging the system? Who is the woman he was talking to online? Her name is Mae and she has a Hispanic. Last name. Why with all of his behavioral issues at school did the school not insist he gets mental help? This kid was self harming and harming animals. He was so out of control that his Mother could not handle him and dropped him off at her Parents house. Ppl never want to talk about these issues but this is the only place we will ever find answers to what causes ppl to do this. Just talking about taking guns from ppl who have never done this and will never do this gets us nowhere! Wake up! Answers must be sought here.
She’s in denial. Probably the weight of the situation; just too much to handle
I think it’s a bit too early to ask people to “not judge him” and “forgive him” and that “he had his reasons”. Very inappropriate in my opinion.
Shes just trying to save face, she wasnt involved in her son's life and she know it, she was a loser parent and she will ultimately be judged aswell.
I believe she's just in shock and is just saying things impulsively, not thinking of her words. She has to live with the fact that her son did an unforgivable thing, and it's tearing her apart from within.
Nobody asked.
@@TheNotoriousNemo “a loser parent”? Who are you? Are you a parent? If you are your a shitty parent for thinking you are a perfect parent because you sure as hell are not. I pity your children if you do have any because I know they will not be taught to have empathy even in the face of tragedy.
She raised an incel, she knew what kind of person she was shaping him into without knowing the culture surrounding that personality. She most likely has no clue what "incel" is or what "4chan" is, but he was radicalized as an incel on 4chan, and decided to commit a school shooting.
He had NO REASON to do what he did. She’s making excuses for him again. Just as she’s been doing his whole life. She’s still not disciplining her son even after he’s dead, taking 21 innocent people with him.
She sounds like a POS just like her son saying “he had his reasons”
she should be held accountable for her sons behavior bc she shouldve reported him if she “felt uneasy about his behavior at times”
“He had his reasons” said multiple times would infuriate me. Also “Please don’t judge him.” How can that be asked after what he has done?!
Prayers for his soul 🙏 judgement Day he has to face the Almighty
that Karen dont have a sense
First- No, there’s no reason for him or anyone to do this & two- no one on earth is qualified to judge anyone, that’s up to the lord almighty.
I totally agree with you Catapillagirl. This is a multi facetted problem. Concerning the Uvalde massacre of precious children in Texas. This is becoming more frequent. I see many becoming mad, sad or Politicians trying to take advantage or the situation, but very few good idea's being talked about or implemented. Here is my two cents. First off I believe strongly about the 2nd Admendment and no one is taking my gun in a society where they are defunding the Police and taking gang units out by the defunding who were getting guns off the street, zero bail, Soros funded DA's letting out criminals early, not charging them for many of their crimes, and changing laws like theft to $950 before it's a crime to detour. How is this working out? Plus we had lock downs and job losses because of covid and before that riots that burned down businesses, creating more homeless, money problems and mental health problems and more. BUT we need to do something to protect our precious innocent children. When I was young this type of thing was rare. Why? Less population was one and open borders do not help. Also we did not have radicals on the internet trying to radicalize our children then. This needs to be monitored and safeguards by the parents at a minimum or State. If the parents or those in charge see worrisome behavior the parents need to act on it, and not just think their child is that innocent 8 year old they used to have. This is really caring for the child and society. So hold the parents responsible if they can prove the Parent knew and did nothing with a fine and or misdemeanor. We also did not have China giving us a virus and the Government and rich taking advantage of the situation at our expense. Also have you noticed that many of the school shootings were done by like 18 to 20 year olds? Make it illegal to own guns if under 21 unless you are in the Military which is under guidance and discipline. How about 2 armed guards at schools with a metal detector and one entrance? Many are complaining about Texas gun laws, but from my studies, most of the States with the most liberal gun laws have the lowest crimes from guns. And when crime is up over 50% in many Democrat run cities, I will not give up my guns to defend myself, loved ones and the innocent. If one has been convicted of a violent crime whether 16 or 60, make it illegal for them to own a gun. At least they are giving serial numbers now to ghost guns which can be traced, or give them 90 days to register or a fine and if used in a crime without being registered triple the fine and add a misdemeanor. Find ways to make it harder for criminals, young gang members and mentally ill to get guns. If school teachers want to take the training, let them carry and protect. To me these seem practical and not emotional. I came up with several others, but many have brought them up before by others. Just my 2 cents.
She's probably in a state of disbelief. Can't think straight with all the pressure. Plus every mother loves their child to the point they're blind to any wrongdoings of their child
The picture of the kids running literally for their lives is heartbreaking. No 10 year old should have to do that.
I know but Americans love guns more that a kids life's.
They all for sure have PTSD now
💔
@Johnnyboy Check your privilege, city boy.
@Quilly Mundo yeah you’re wild. FBI should keep tabs on you.
With people saying he was bullied for being poor, let me ask how this young man bought two weapons and nearly 400 rounds of ammo? You know how expensive that is????? This is questionable
This is no way an apology to the families.
I’m so sad for her,but there is no forgiveness for her son. “He had his reasons”. And NOT ONE of them is forgiveable! May those sweet children, teachers and Mrs Garcia’s husband Rest In Peace. 🙏🏼
He had his reasons??? You being a drug addict was maybe one of them?? There r NO reasons that could ever answer for the cowardly deed of gunning down little innocent children!! None....how can she even show her face on a news camera?? Her son even shot her mother...where's the reasoning in that? What could he have had against 19 beautiful children??
@@katherineleonowski7289 it’s half her freaking fault. If she would have raised a decent young man it wouldn’t have happened. He didn’t even have to be decent, had she tried at all as a mother it prolly doesn’t happen. There’s a reason he didn’t live with her.

I feel like this is the last thing those parents would want to hear
Right ? Forgive him. He had his reasons. Don’t judge him.
Like I know she’s probably right. It’s important to forgive and let hate out of your heart. But if your son just murdered my 10 yo in class and his teachers I would turn a deaf ear at the least, and get enraged at her at the worst. I’m only human too, and I’m not gonna front. It takes a god tier heart to forgive this. Not impossible. But max, you’re right.
I can imagine what they would like to to do to this woman.
You just figured out how the news media works
He had his reasons? Who gives a flyin shit?
She didnt do it. But shes being blamed.
You could tell she was SUCH a careless lenient parent who did not pay attention to the signs. Don’t judge him?? He had his reasons?? She’s just as guilty as he is probably the BIGGEST guilt is HERS.
What reasons could one possibly have to kill innocent children.
Wow!!! “Please don’t judge him” “I know he had his reasons” Is she taking crazy pills? What heartlessness in her response. I can’t believe the nerve of her.
You are so right
She’s also a huge drug addict and a narcissist who dumped her kid at his grandparents house.
Crazy pills, I'd say she is taking insane pills.
Can't u tell she is heartbroken for what her son did?
Don't judge her
What is this lady saying? OMG. “He had his reasons” Do not judge him” Is she out of her mind? Yes, I am sure she is.
ikr there was no reason
Probably she is beside herself with grief and not in her right mind. I wouldn’t be either.
She just lost her son who killed 21 people, kids and adults, and is now seeing all of the damage he did. Of course she is! I mean, would you be sane after learning that your mom was shot by your son who then proceeded to kill 21 people, most kids, and then take his own life? Tell me, would you?
Yes, I agree. She's absolutely out of her mind. Not only did she lose her son, but he's also responsible for the deaths of so many as well. I can't imagine what mental torture that would be for a mother.
Her dialect is not like ours. She doesn't speak English so she trying to say it the best was she can through pain and shame. I don't think she meant "he had his reason" ESPECIALLY since bright before that she said "I don't know what he was thinking". I'm thinking she meant, "he didn't have a reason". She didn't do this. She's hurting like the rest of us. And she's carrying the shame of it which actually isn't hers to carry.
I don’t have a high opinion of her given her words and her history with her son, but saying this on camera i fear for her. She should not have gone on camera
"Please don't judge him"
He killed 19 children. I'm gonna judge him. He's evil.
He took innocent lives because he had twisted intentions to do so! Everyone has reasons for doing something. It’s ludicrous to take others lives just for the heck of it! That’s totally insane Ma’am. Accept the fact that your late son was obviously extremely disturbed!
She is sick in the head too. That sht runs in families
@@Q.T-T I hope you will take some accountability that her late son was extremely disturbed. Not judging her but truly extreme dysfunction. We all have issues but don't extend it beyond where it hurts others . These types of perps can't reason past their egos.
@@dannij7081 you sound dumb as hell
She failed as a parent and gave up when she let him move out to his grandparents home. She knew he was troubled and just let his grandparents deal with. This horrific act of evil falls on the hands of many important people that had the chance to save innocent lives if endless care, support, and faith was applied.
underrated comment
I don’t agree with either sides. The mother of the gunman needs to be careful what she says and the parents of the victims shouldn’t be confronting her either. The shooter was bullied growing up during his childhood cuz of his speech impediment. If anyone needs to be confronted, it should the police officers who failed to do anything during the shooting and Texas Governor Gregg Abbott for making it easier to legally purchase guns while knowing the number of shootings we’ve been having in our country lately.
Shes just as guilty for speaking on her son's favor.
I do feel bad until she said “please don’t judge him” she failed as a parent and her son had no reason to go to the elementary school to kill innocent children and teachers.
"please dont judge him"
he killed 21 people
YOUR military and Is rael kill children everyday .. using YOUR tax dollars .. get off your high horse! Don't forget to thank the soldiers for their service!
Cool
"He has his reasons" "don't judge him" how can anyone not judge a person that killed 21 innocent people?
She did more harm than good with her statement
children at that
Like mother like son sadly...
which heavily impacted more than 21 families. everyone who knew the innocent people were affected :(
Throw the book @ him
Were those kids the ones who bullied him? If he was going to do it and there was no way to foresee or stop him, find reason with your tormentors. This trend of taking your anger out on little defenseless children had everything to do with following Sandy Hook.
He had no reason to kill those 19 innocent little kids smh 🤦♀️
Nope, we are not forgiving him, we have our reasons too.
Hows that?
She sounds delusional and selfish.
Ikr? “He had his reasons for slaughtering innnocent children that we don’t understand so forgive him. Don’t judge him” -She’s just as crazy as he is! Mental illness is real in that family.
Buh huh
“He had his reason” BS!! There is zero, ZERO reason to take the life of anyone especially innocent children that had their whole life ahead of them. They were defenseless babies!!
Never said they were good reasons he’s just a nut case in a government and society that do little to support people with mental health issues
Thank you. My exact thoughts.
I can think of a dozen reasons to murder. And those children were spared a lifetime of misery and confusion. Anyone out here who looks happy is just really good at pretending. Dude did those kids a favor.
I hope that this is just a poor translation of what she was actually saying. I cannot fathom anyone saying "They had their reasons" in response to their child murdering innocent people.

How can you forgive a person who first shot your mother in the face and didn't feel a thing for her life and then goes to an elementary school and kill little kids, what reason did he had to kill innocent little kids? She wants the victims to forgive her son that doesn't care for any human life.
What else can she say? She is devastated.
Grandma he shot his grandmother🤦😰💔
is there anything she could have said that wouldn’t have made you mad?
May be that grandma was her mother in law and that’s why she justifying him 😀.. anyway jokes apart this woman is crazy as her son. She is making no sense.
We are all asking the wrong questions. We need to be asking wtf is going on in our society that is making young 18 year old men want to do these things? My dad told me guns were way easier to access when he was growing up and almost everyone had one. None of this sh*t was happening. What has changed to where we are seeing so much of this now?
To all the parents out there, please watch your kids....cause I will blame you for any outbursts

He had his reasons which were narcissistic anger/hatred. If he was bullied he was of legal age and could’ve sought mental health treatments/counseling but often teens reject help.

@@theultimatelifeform9840 Please have a little more empathy and put a little less effort into trying to "own" people on the internet.
She is a horrible mom, one of her boyfriends SA’d Salvador when he was young but she did not believe him. Salvador dropped out of school since 9th grade and moved in with his grandma shortly before the incident. She failed to provide him a stable, safe, loving, and caring home. She cries to not judge her son and that he has his reason because she knows she are the reason and does not wished to be judged upon as well. Shame on her. Sending wishes to Uvalde and hoping the community can strengthen in mental health as it is a small town that often overlooks the importance of it.
I want to know how he was able to afford 2 $ rifles, a $750 scope, tactical gear and 1600 rounds of ammo on an 8 hour a week McDonald's job at minimum wage?
Exactly this. This doesn't add up, nor the timeline nor the cops being cowards.
Saying "he had his reasons" is the opposite of asking for forgiveness.
Just phrased badly, the guy was mentally ill is what she's saying.
She’s questioning why he had his reasons. Bad translation
That's a poor translation.. Shes questioning his reasoning...Basically saying what on earth just happened
this woman is a victim, she did have to go and ask forgiveness, im sure all this negativity is because they r immigrants lol
Having reasons implies knowing how reason works and being reasonable.
She's partially right. A parent can't protect their kids from a bullying culture 24 hrs/day. She has no power against a f'd up society.
imagine being told your kid was shot for a “reason”
Yeah he was upset about the phone bill
shes a drug addict who sent him to live with his grandmother because she cant hold a job lmao
maybe if he had a good mother figure in his life he wouldn't have shot up a school
Real shit this lady shows you why this happens she doesn’t even know she’s being disrespectful after the horrible shit her son did , no buisness having children
this isn't a case of someone being bullied and pushed to the brink and lashing out violently, this is a case of someone reprehensible and disgusting murdering children.
your son is unforgiven.
Imagine having your mother shot by your son and your son then killing so many innocent lives. This is heartbreaking.
That is why I'm not really down with people hyper analyzing what she's saying right now. She's lost more than most people ever will. She probably shares a degree of the blame of what happened, but obviously this is not what she was going for when raising her son and her grief is as real as anyone else's.
@@rezcellent Tie her tubes. Change my mind
@@rezcellent with what?
And then saying “he had his reasons”
Still can't figure out that this whole thing is staged, can you?
This is such a tragedy, but should be a wake up call to parents: Love your child, raise them up right, because there are a LOT of lazy, selfish parents who are raising future killers.
This is true, but you can be the perfect parent and still have a bad child. Nurture isn't the whole arguement, just one side of the coin.
💯
Casemboo: Thank you. This is the FIRST comment that makes sense. There are parents who just don't give a f***! Look at NYC....I live here and see it everyday!
@@ghostsnipertrue Truth, our society unfortunately is going to mold a lot of abusers and killers as well, but I will NOT be the reason my kid grows up to be a detriment to society.
👍
She failed her son on so many levels and the system has failed everyone.
After she said, “he had his reasons”, I was done with her!
“Please don’t Judge him”
“ I am sure he had reasons”
I am sure mom is going through hell right now so will reserve judgment till later when she’s more calm. However, she should weigh her words carefully and not offer any excuses!
Her son didn’t wake up one day and decide to be a monster!
Her quiet and polite son had been turning into a monster for a long time right under her nose!!
Exactly let she save her damn breath
Sometimes we are the worst thing for our kids. Sometimes they need a border school and mental health to learn correct thinking. There are no excuses for this.
I’m sure the first thing on her mind is making sure to mind her words
Exactly you don't slowly turn into a monster that sh** is in you from the start and shame on all the family for not seeing this sooner. So 😡 for those those kids this should not have happened!
She's one of those mothers who didn't take his issues seriously, or may have even been the one to start it, people with untreated personality disorders are always on edge of snapping
"he had his reasons" How can you even attempt to explain what he did?
She isn't saying it like it was ok what her son did. Everyone has a reason for what they do. Good or bad there is a reason
Hope your children don’t turn out to be killers, oh wait, it’s human nature to kill, it’s all about the justification for us. Never forget we are wild animals with a basic level cognizant understanding. Just because you would feel justified in taking this mans life ultimately it would make you no better than him by your own logic.
Because he was an incel. Incels are sexist terrorists, most notably radicalized on 4chan.
@@azazelsiad3601 That is not even remotely true. You just failed basic psychology.
@UCm1ywZyXOXjDxkbzTbXcrHg "Years and years of mental and physical abuse are the only thing that can drive somebody to that."
There is not an iota of evidence that Ramos was bullied. And your assertion that "the only thing that can drive someone to do this is years of abuse" is just a flat-out stupid statement. Some people are simply evil psychopaths. This little animal was one.
Just another fact to destroy your stupid assertion.....the Columbine shooters weren't bullied. That turned out to be a lie. They were just demented.
I think the parents of the shooter should be charged. I think if you raise a child so wrongly. You should be publicly shamed and be sent to jail.
For that cowardly act against younger kids is unacceptable. He chose them as a easy target.
I can’t believe she said “he had his reasons” more than once. I get it if she said it once incorrectly but that is not right.
She raised an incel that spent his time on 4chan all day. She didn't give a shit that she was raising a terrorist.
Who ever said your reasons are always for the good
Everyone has their reasons regardless how wrong they are
Yeah like imagine hearing about your son killing a bunch of little kids as well as your own mother (or mother in law) and then having the audacity to say well he must have had reasons. Yeah try telling that directly the families of the kids as they bawl their eyes out on the graveyard
I think she doesn't realize how that translation sounds to native English speakers.
She prolly meant "the reason..." being mental illness etc etc.
"He had his reasons" what reason does someone have for going into a school to shoot and kill children you don't even know?! "Don't judge him" lady everyone is gonna judge him! What he did is UNFORGIVABLE! Understandable she is sad her son did this horrible act. But what about the sons & daughters that died? Those parents are the saddest!😢
Her son did not have the right to KILL .... She does not have the right to ask for Forgiveness for her Son or Herself ... as for his reasons no doubt she is a HUGE part of his MISERY ... her and her boyfriend/s!!!
Really lady, your son did the most heinous crime ever! I really don’t care what she wants.
"He had his reasons" pretty sure there is no reason to shoot innocent children
i was feeling bad until she said "I know he had his reasons." Even as a parent, someone who did this is really unforgivable.If she was asking for forgiveness and just peace not knowing her son was this way that's different but. you can't defend these actions.
Yea no reason can justify the things he did none I'm sure it was in the heat of the moment and she didn't think about what she was saying
Calm down, the woman doesn't speak English so her dialect is not like ours. I do not believe she was making an excuse but rather wanted to say there was no reason as she couldn't understand why he did what he did. The translator said she said "I don't know what he was thinking".
@@Dr.PrettyProfessor yeah but like... I flunked Spanish in school and even I could still specifically hear the word "he", some form of the root word "to have", and the word "reasons" during those parts so like. Doesn't really seem like a mistranslation...
@@Dr.PrettyProfessor no matter what language you speak…..saying I’m sure he had his reasons means the same exact thing in all our languages. There’s no way around it.
@@Dr.PrettyProfessor girl someone in spanish literally said that it meant the same thing translated in english and spanish. shush she’s just disgusting
He had his reasons? What “reasons” could he have for mowing down little children? You gotta be kidding me.
Probably an incel. She said he was quiet, guys like that find it really hard to get a gf.
@@damlurker you create this problem by labeling people as incel loser!
“He had his reasons” and “Don’t judge him” really? Does she not understand, her son literally killed 21 people, I bet she doesn’t know what it feels like to lose a close, loved one. Apologizing isn’t going to do anything lady! What? You think you can apologize and ✨magically✨ Bring them back alive? It doesn’t work like that lady! Pay attention!
ok i agree with you but.. she lost her son..... what do you mean she doesnt know what its like to lose a loved one....
@@lovvrrz because all those families who lost their children. All the moms and dads thinking this could be the end for their child.
His reasons? He had his reasons???? Wtf! He was a nice quiet boy? Ummm, he tortured and killed cats! Seriously don't wish this on any mother but, c'mon!
may everyone that lost their life rest in peace
What does Rest In Peace even mean??
Except the gunman
May he not rest in peace
Except for the killers. ....
not everyone I hope that sob is&will be burning in hell for what he's done ok
@James Kirk so who the f cares hi don't matter
"He had his reasons" Was that translated properly? That makes no sense. He is definitely going to be judged.
Yeah, I speak spanish and the translation is accurate.
Check out my latest video, they have two different fathers for the one little girl in Texas! It’s insane. THEY ARE ALL CRISIS ACTORS
Yes it was translated properly. Almost word for word >.
Yes, it was translated properly.
okay thanks for confirming.
he had reasons to kill innocent children ? BABIES ??? This woman angers me so much. So are the families supposed to just forget that he was the one that took their kids life just because he had a bad day ?? LIVES ARE NOT RETURNABLE. Very upset with this ignorant woman.
It's really too bad this is on youtube. She wasn't properly advised as to what to say in response to this tragedy. She was part of the problem but she didn't pull the trigger.
The mother doesn't have a clue...she should not have been interviewed, she's obviously in shock and doesn't know what to say...
Yeah this seems almost predatory. People are just going to attack her for this now and I can’t imagine how she feels.
@@Ntwolf1220 I believe she meant: I have no idea why he would do such of thing. = He had his reasons.
@@montreauxs I agree. I also don’t speak Spanish that well so I’m not going to act like I fully understand her tone or the nuances of the language that Spanish speakers might know.
Doesn't know what to say..Don't say anything. It was her choice to answer.
@@neilspun3691 She is obviously under so much stress...give her a break, be compassionate can you imagine how she feels...
"He had his reasons. don't judge him"? WTF is that even supposed to mean.
IKR!!!!!!
Charge the mother
means shes just as deranged as her son
It means FJB
That just pissed me off beyond words!!
the comments on this should be disabled. she's in a horrifying position, and this is heartbreaking. she might not have spoken perfectly, but that's understandable. if she was accosted for this "interview", the reporter and cameraman should feel ashamed.
As a mother, I think I can understand a TINY bit. Cognitive dissonance… holding two conflicting beliefs. Maybe she is trying to reconcile two opposite versions of her son in her mind and it’s just not possible. One version is a sweet, innocent baby (because they will always be your baby regardless) and the other version is something she doesn’t recognize. A murderer with absolutely no conscience whose life apparently took a sharp left turn somewhere. And everything that came out of her mouth made no sense simply because wrapping her head around it and making sense of it just isn’t possible. Just my thoughts.
I'm glad someone here is actually trying to be understanding. Everyone else is so completely judgemental like they could do no wrong. I guess "putting yourself in someone's else's shoes" is a lost art.
