A 3-year-old girl is recovering after Philadelphia police say her own mother, Lauren Rodriquez, attacked her with a machete which the father of the child, Reinaldo Bermudez, may have used in a separate attack upon another person a week earlier:
Police say 34-year-old Lauren Rodriguez will be charged with attempted criminal homicide, aggravated assault and other related charges.
Police say the incident happened after 8 p.m. on the 5900 block of North Mascher Street.
According to authorities, officers found the young girl covered in blood on the street.
Neighbor Pauline Williams described seeing a bloody mess after another neighbor pulled the injured child out of the home.
“I saw the daughter with her head split open from her mother with a machete,” Williams said. “Thank God for the neighbors, they all got together and they really helped that little girl.”
The young girl suffered skull fractures and multiple lacerations on her head, shoulder and knee.
She is in stable condition at St. Christopher’s Hospital for Children.
Police have not yet said what led up to Rodriguez allegedly attacking her 3-year-old daughter.
This latest attack comes after a separate machete incident on the same block last week. Police have not said if they are related, but neighbors tell CBS3 they are.
Reinaldo Bermudez was charged with aggravated assault and terroristic threats after police say he cut someone with a machete on Aug. 4 on the 5900 block of North Mascher Street. Neighbors say Bermudez is the young girl’s father.
With a name like “Lauren Rodriguez,” it’s safe to assume that the mother is a second generation Mexican, born in the U.S. to Mexican parents who wanted to Americanize their daughter by giving her a more anglo-sounding name than Lupe or Carmelita. And from the looks of the father, he’s also a second generation Mexi-merican, with one Black parent and one Mexican parent.
Clearly, as second generation “Americans” these two lovely “integrated” citizens have made even the Black mean streets of Philadelphia a little more mean, if that’s even possible. Historically, Blacks and Hispanics in America loathe each other, and their rival gangs have made their territories virtually unlivable for themselves and their families, as they rotate in and out of the prison system until they are murdered in some meaningless turf war.
And given that the U.S. is taking in hundreds of thousands of these new Latinos every month, we can expect this kind of “vibrancy” to enhance our once safe White suburbs in the near future.

OK…Im not a completely heartless bastard in spite of many’s claims, and I AM sorry the poor innocent child was injured, most likely for life, if not physically then certainly emotionally, BUT… who is paying for all this? And who is going to pay for not only the imprisonment of the mother, probably same of father, but the medical and ongoing expenses of the child? And who is going to take care of the child when both baby daddy and mamasita are in the slammer [costing hundreds of thousands of dollars…]? We all know…
Of course, soon will be cries for knife control and confiscation ; ‘all for the chillren’ you understand…

Yes, this violent incident will ultimately cost the White taxpayers millions of dollars in legal fees, medical bills, incarceration costs, foster care for the child, and much more. Multiply this incidents by thousands each year and you’ll get an idea of the enormity that “diversity” is costing us in both dollars and White lives.

Why won’t the police say the two machete attacks are related? All crimes like this must remain “random” with no rhyme or reason. That way, nothing needs to be done, no one is accountable, and the investigation can end.

I must be missing something here, and it didn’t hit me til just now…why were they still in possession of the same weapon he’s already accused of using in a crime? That’s like leaving a crackhead in possession of their crack after they get busted…except the crack is only going to hurt the crackhead. How much more inept is the ‘policing’ of our third world slums? I thought black lives mattered, dammit!

He’s allowed to keep his precious machete until he’s convicted by a jury apparently.

Move along. Nothing to see here. This is just routine. There is nothing to worry about. The State has it all in hand. The system will teach them a lesson that they will learn and pass down to their children, thus making them perfectly integrated citizens…
NOT!!!

There are a lot of conservatives who really believe that given the right system with the right incentives these people could be successfully integrated into mainstream American society, and they also believe that is a desirable goal. How conservative of them!
I Dunno
. . .the question is, WHY do [some] conservatives hold such views?
A lifetime of thought control? Magical thinking- humanity’s basic problem.
Or- the belief that all are made in the image of God. . .
Ottify
They hold such views because they only know what the jew wants them to know, whether it is the jewish distortion of the creation account, or the belief in the jewish system of “-isms”.
They think they are conserving the ‘MAGA’ America…the jewish perception of what America once was. They are only ‘conserving’ the Amerika that the jews are masquerading to them…
