‘Forgive my son. I know he had his reasons’: Mom of school shooter asks for forgiveness

May 28, 2022 | | Print Article

(Video: CNN)

The mother of the deceased 18-year-old suspect held responsible for the massacre at a Texas elementary school Tuesday begged for forgiveness from the victims in an emotional outpouring muddled by the confusing suggestion of “reasons” for her son’s actions.

A distraught Adriana Martinez was interviewed by the CNN affiliate Televisa Friday where she attempted to convey her sympathies over the murder of 19 children and two teachers committed by her son at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas. Having previously expressed her prayers for the families and contended that she had a “good relationship” with her son, Martinez admitted that she didn’t know what might have driven him to such an act of evil.

“I have no words to say, I don’t know what he was thinking,” she told Televisa. She would later go on to plead, “Forgive me, forgive my son. I know he had his reasons.”

However, those cries for forgiveness may have fallen on deaf ears when the mother seemingly attempted to justify the atrocities committed by her son. “He had his reasons for doing what he did,” she stated. “Please don’t judge him. I only want the innocent children who died to forgive me.”

When asked what possible reasons anyone could have for such violence, Ramirez went on, “To get closer to those children instead of paying attention to the other bad things. I have no words. I don’t know.”

The reactions to her claim were almost as infuriated as to the original tragedy.

Warning: Adult Language

The father of the suspect, Salvador Ramos Sr., had received similar backlash when he pleaded with the public that, of his son, they didn’t “know anything he was going through” and he “didn’t want them calling him a monster.”

Ramos also argued that Ramirez, whom he is believed to be divorced from, was at fault for not “buying [her son] more school supplies and clothes” for which “his son was bullied at school for wearing the same high-water jeans every day, and that this was the reason he ultimately dropped out.”

The father was reported as having at least one assault conviction on his criminal record for causing bodily injury to a family member. While the parents’ actual involvement in the upbringing of the suspect remains highly contentious, at least one neighbor reported to the New York Post that the grandparents were always around.

“The grandpa is a very hardworking man and it’s sad some people are blaming him for what happened,” the neighbor said to the Post. “Grandma was always cleaning the yard, fixing things all the time…I feel for them. I see some people bashing them and it’s not fair.”

That person went on to lament, “I’d rather Uvalde stay unknown and this not happen. They are talking about our little town all over the news. My hometown is going viral but for the worst reason possible.”

  2. I get paid more than $90 to $100 per hour for working online. I heard about this job 3 months ago and after joining this I have earned easily $21k from this without having online working skills . Simply give it a shot on the accompanying site…
    Here is I started.…………>> http://www.Netcash1.com

  3. Time to hold the parents, relatives and or co-habitators criminally responsible for NOT informing the authorities of the mental instability of a loved one.

    In almost every incident, these mass shootings would have been prevented if someone in the system would have spoken out.

    It’s criminal that they allow this to happen. Forgiveness? No; prison time.

    1. After a tragedy like this happens, there are always multiple people from schoolmates, teachers, principals, family members, who say they knew there was something wrong with them, that they knew the person was troubled but never thought they would do something like this.

      How about this.

      If you think your kid, your student, your friend, your neighbor, whoever, is saying things and acting in a manner that makes you concerned about whether they might harm another person or themselves, GET THEM HELP, REPORT THEM TO THE AUTHORITIES. Don’t assume they are going through a phase and they will be okay. Don’t take that risk. Especially with minors. When you still have some control over getting them treatment.

      Don’t worry about what other people will think, or if the person will be angry at you. Be worried about how you will feel if that person carries out their sick, twisted murder plan and you become a pariah for doing nothing.

  4. The latino/a Mex parents of this bastard want sympathy for their murderous spawn and themselves? I hope that that a good old hemp neck tie party is in their immediate future. Make them pinatas and throw them back over the border. We have too much trash on this side already.

  5. The father is a real doozy too. No wonder the kid was azz-f##ked backwards and upside down not knowing whether to sh#t, fart, f##k or fight…..so instead this demon went out and murdered children. Minorities want ZERO accountability for their evil actions! Zero! Maryland riots happened over a 7X convicted heroin dealer that broke his neck in a police van (thank God!) Do minorities know the difference between good and evil without piggy backing of technological advances of whiteman? No! Look at nation states they control. Pure sh#tholes.

  6. Where were you, MOM in this boy’s life? High School dropout, a loner, apparently on the internet a lot of the time. WHERE DID HE GET THE MONEY TO BUY THOSE GUNS? Seems to me that both you and the dad shirked your responsibilities, and put your job off on the Grandparents.

    1. I read that both parents and the grandfather all have rap sheets. Keep these 3rd world vermin out of the U.S.A.

  7. Ma’am I’m sorry to break it to you And as sad as it is to say but you raised a public school monster.

  8. Mother’s a psychopathic scumbag just like her son! Multiculturalism has destroyed every intelligent technological civilization dating back to Kings, Caesar and State! Indeed most of the religious cultures of foreign nationals are witchcraft, cannibalism, child sacrifice, child rape.
    STOP ALL IMMIGRATION FOR 25 YEARS!

  9. PHUCKUR SCUMMY PIECE OF GARBAGE KILLER AND YOU AND YOUR ZERO-PARENTING SKILLS THIRD-WORLD TRASHY FAMILY MORE !! F.J.B.

  10. With the democrat media ginning up youth to hate each other, as their parents were racist. With the democrat bureaucrats removing Christianity from the schools. With the democrat educators confusing kids as to what gender they are. With the democrat educators rewriting history. With democrat Hollywood glorifying death for money. With the democrat administration trying to take out the middle class with inflation, gas prices and a destroyed 401K….is it really a surprise that these kids are so disturbed?

  11. Forgive this monster? NEVER! I may even say the same about his so called “parents.”

  12. There will be no forgiveness for what this hispanic pervert did. He shot kids because he wanted new clothes? That is the lamest excuse ever. The shooter was a pervert who had fallen into the transgender insanity and wanted to inflict his delusions and perversions on everyone else, just like all these transgender nutcases. It is clearly time for some serious deportations.

  13. We’ve got the elected grifters to thank for the state of this country today. The mental health hospitals are closed, the prisons are secured, and our schools are open. The laws are such that a person/business can be arrested for selling a beer to an 18 year old but it’s ok to sell him/her a gun. I am a gun owner and second amendment advocate but this makes no sense. They knew this was a family of losers/dopers/felons and that he was a bad actor. The police had been called to that home repeatedly and yet nothing happened……………until it did. Now everybody is looking at each other trying to figure out who to blame………….I know, let’s blame the gun!

  14. Follow the money and you will have your reason. He was paid by the demoncraps, brainwashed and Beto ORouke is involved in it somehow. It’s all so convenient for him and them. Matter of fact, they have orchestrated and set up all these mass shootings that have happened in the US. They are behind all of this and if you don’t believe it, then your part of the problem and just plain stupid.

  15. That statement was very self serving! They are the parents who actually didn’t parent very well. They should be accountable for their “child’s “ actions – period!

    1. NOPE, each person is accountable. You soiund like some clod from the Old Testament now. An idiot/jerk. The boy is accountable for the killings. Now if he had help and he did, lots of help, lots of money, and lots of training which came from the demoncraps.

      1. THE BREEDERS OF THIS TRASH SHOULD BE ARRESTED FOR IMPERSONATING PARENTS, THEY FAILED IN RAISING HIM AND THEN SET HIM LOOSE IN SOCIETY TO DO WHAT HE DID !! F.J.B.

  16. Maybe the parents of the shooter should be on the hot seat. I doubt that he just flipped all of a sudden. There had to be signs of his mental unbalance which were probably ignored through lack of interest or political correctness!!

  17. The more of the family that is revealed, the more the pieces of this sick and evil teenager come together. His mother was more interested in drugging and men than taking care of her son. Her son had a speech impediment that was left untreated. In Texas, speech therapy is provided on campus for free. If the campus does not have a speech therapist, they can refer you to one at NO cost. All the custodial parent has to do is SIGN THE PAPERS. Apparently, she could not be bothered by that chore. That tells a lot about her lack of concern for her kid. That mother set her kid up for failure from the get-go. Who doesn’t know that the teen years are crucial in social development? Not caring that her son had clean, decent-fitting clothes hurt his social profile with his peers. I doubt if she shared much quality time with her kid when he was little. She couldn’t be bothered. I feel sorry for Grandma and Grandpa. I think they were stuck with a grandson they loved but could not reach. Grandparents are not meant to raise an off-the-rails teenage boy that can easily overpower them.

  18. I know she also lost a child, but please just stop. There are no “reasons”. Why is no one asking how this loser had $5k to buy the two DD rifles? Or where he got the pistol from since he couldn’t legally purchase that…or where he stored all of this since Gpa is a law abiding felon who wouldn’t have in the house.
