Boston Woman Murders Her Two Kids–and It’s Men’s Fault (Part I)
“As Boston police probed whether a Roslindale mother in the throes of despair may have murdered her two young children, relatives and friends of the woman, who is hospitalized with stab wounds, described her as a lost soul who clings to abusive men.”
Two children have been murdered, but the killer isn’t bad–she’s a “lost soul” who is “in the throes of despair” because she is the victim of “abusive men.” Apologies for violent women are standard in the mainstream media–somehow it’s never her fault, and is usually a man’s fault. (To read more examples, click here and here).
This time it’s the Boston Herald–a conservative newspaper–making excuses for a murderous mommy. Some would point out that both authors here are women, but men are actually worse about making excuses for violent women than women are.
The story is below. The neighbors’ memorial for the two slain children is pictured.
A life in turmoil: Mystery shrouds slain kids’ murders

Boston Herald, 7/31/07
As Boston police probed whether a Roslindale mother in the throes of despair may have murdered her two young children, relatives and friends of the woman, who is hospitalized with stab wounds, described her as a lost soul who clings to abusive men.
Relatives, friends and co-workers identified the mother as Angela Lopez, 30, and her children as Dennis, 10, and Jasmine, 12.
Police responding to a Sunday night call for a suicidal woman had to kick in an air-conditioning unit to gain entry to the Maynard Street home, where a high-ranking BPD source said they found the bodies of the children tucked in their beds and the mother brutally stabbed in what many believe was a self-inflicted attack.
The children may have been suffocated or forced to ingest poison, the source said. BPD officials said Lopez was not able to cooperate with investigators yesterday, and she remains hospitalized.
“It was a confusing scene,” said one BPD source who added that the mother’s blood trail may have led to erroneous initial reports that the children had also been stabbed.
BPD spokeswoman Elaine Driscoll said investigators have not yet determined how the two died. “We are awaiting the results of an autopsy,” Driscoll said.
Lopez’s cousin, Nilda Lopez, yelled out in shock, “Why? How!” upon learning the tragic fate of her cousin’s little girl and boy. “Que paso?” she cried to relatives on the phone before heading to the hospital where her cousin worked.
Her eyes brimming with tears, Nilda Lopez said she last saw her cousin on duty Friday in the reception area of the urology department at Children’s Hospital before she abruptly quit.
“She was crying,” said Nilda Lopez. adding that her cousin recently complained about problems in her relationship. “I told her she could come stay with me if she wanted to.”
She said her cousin Angela had broken up with her boyfriend, also an employee at Children’s, because “he played her.” But Nilda Lopez had little indication of the horrific turn of events that would follow.

The ‘victim’ has the mental ‘arrangement’ that Pizzey discusses when she talks about women who go to shelters (contrary to how shelters are run today i should add). Pizzey identified several profiles of which we only pay attention to one of them as if they represent the whole. the innocent victim who is not of mental capacity to extracate herself from the situation. Pizzey seemed to identify two types that were much more common (and now are lumped in as above), and thats the violent pair, in which the woman was as much as an instigator, and the truly masochistic that like an addiction return to the turmoil of violence to give them ‘life’ through high drama of some sort.
It is ‘in the best interests of the children’ that when they are murdered by their mother, she is treated sympathetically. The memory of their little lives would be sullied otherwise and the female journalists and mangina journalists can get supportive reviews that way. Its just so logical when you’ve studied Femonazi journalism 101. One has to remember always when writing these pieces that the children were just bit players in their mother’s drama. She is the star.
Feminized media say men are bad, women are good.
I noticed the same thing with the minister murders (Mary Winkler? was that her name). Back when this was new, the 1st or 2nd sentence read something like:”A ministers wife has been arrested in the ministers death who was shot.” Shouldn’t it have been “who she shot?”
I’ve been noticing too a lot of playing with titles. “A life in turmoil: Mystery shrouds slain kids’ murders”. What this does is foul-up any kind of meta-search or research or investigation by scientist into crunching stories where women are the attacker.
I read USA today in paper form or online and I’ve noticed A TON where (if the attacker is female) the title says “child attacked” “xyz is slain” and the gender gets buried.
So if you put into a search engine “woman slays” or “woman attacks” you will not find these kinds of articles.
But, if the father had done this you can bet your bottom dollar (and all the ones on top of it) that the title would read “FATHER SLAYS CHILDREN”
Wha’cha’ xpek? It’s the lamestream media.
