EAST BOSTON, Mass. — Two women from Revere were charged in an unprovoked attack against a mother and daughter speaking Spanish in East Boston.

Jenny Leigh Ennamorati is charged with two counts of assault, two counts for serious crimes of violating constitutional rights with bodily injury and one charge of assault for using her foot to cause bodily harm.

Stephanie M. Armstrong is charged with two counts of assault and two counts for serious crimes of violating constitutional rights with bodily injury.


Both the victims and each witness claim Ennamorati and Armstrong began yelling at the mother and her daughter and then attacked them physically because they were speaking in Spanish. They all say the attack was unprovoked.

The alleged attack happened on Jan. 15 in the area of Maverick Square when Mrs. Vasquez, who declined to give her full name to protect her daughter, was walking home from the train station after leaving a birthday dinner with her daughter and a friend.

The group had been speaking in Spanish as they left the train station when they were approached by two women. Vasquez says they came charging at the group from across the street, yelling: “This is America, speak English. We don’t speak Spanish here.”.................................

1. What do you want to be that Ennamorati had a mother or grandmother who spoke Italian?

Wonder how she would have reacted if they had been attacked?

2. +1

Chances are they do have a close relative who speaks Italian.

I used to be accosted for not looking white enough for some when I lived in that part of the country. Once in while the attackers got violent.

25. I lived in

Boston five years. Very racist and S. Boston there worst

[2naSalit]

27. Yup.

I was born there and spent most of my childhood in New England, as a slightly darker than pearly white female in the 60s and 70s was not much fun anywhere I went. I had assholes tell me how they wanted to rape me, yelled out critiques of my attire, my hair (?), and anything else they took note of. And the women can be exceptionally nasty.

Hate crime

According to her Facebook page, Stephanie Armstrong lives in Malden, Massachusetts, close to Revere. Armstrong describes herself as being in a relationship and works at an Outback Steakhouse restaurant.

Ennamorati said on her Facebook page that she was married in January 2018. Ennamorati’s maiden name had been Jenny Leigh Morgan. In April 2016, Ennamorati shared a meme from the group, “I Love Being Mexican.”

16. She's only allowed to be pissed if her name was Yellow Thunder or

something similar.

Otherwise, STFU!

[dhol82]

18. I don't get it - when you look at her page 90% of the messages are in Spanish.

WTF?

7. Not arrested...gosh what a shock

Flip the coin and make the Hispanic women or black women the attackers of that pooooorrrr white woman and they'd been in handcuffs in two minutes.

This is the on going reality of Trump country.

[CaptYossarian]

17. She would've called ICE-stapo.

[dhol82]

19. Ennamorati seems to be Hispanic.

Odd, no?

8. And how many whities speak any Native American?

Our white ancestors came HERE and demanded native Americans speak English and worship their hate mongering God.

9. This turns my stomach!

This turns my stomach as a retired bilingual teacher! I speak Spanish all the time in public with my friends and it is my first amendment right. The perpetrators should be arrested! This is terrible, the fallout from having a racist president!

10. Very little, microscopic mustard seed souls cannot tolerate Other. Larger souls have, at least,

A suspicion that all souls originate from a shared Source, making for a brotherhood.

11. Mf45 thinks he is going to get the Black and Hispanic vote by pandering to them with talking

Points. But MF45 has raised the level of racism to high levels and minorities are experiencing attacks like these more then ever before. I see minorities being more nervous around whites people. And almost everyone I know who is a minority has commented that they have been treated differently since mf45 has been elected. I stepped in recently when this old white woman told an Asian women to speak English. I told the old woman the lady had a right to speak whatever language she wants because this America! A bunch of people around me where nodding in agreement with me. And this is a liberal area of SF.

15. "...We don't speak Spanish here."

Um, yeah we do, lady. And you should, too.

I'm getting a little tired of people who speak two languages being attacked by people who speak only one.

[dhol82]

20. Ennamorati speaks Spanish.

Go check out her FB page.

21. If you don't mind, Iggo, I'm going to take your comment and go one step further -

I'm getting a little tired of people who speak two languages being attacked by people who can't even think in one.

Hope that's okay.

For years, I volunteered in the Deaf Community, as I Sign. You would NOT BELIEVE the level of harassment The Deaf have to contend with from ignorant, intolerant bigots. Many a time, I have felt compelled to stand up for a Deaf person I was with in some store or shop. It makes me physically ill that these people exist and feel entitled to harass The Deaf.

22. My two daughters,

who are blonde and German-American, speak Spanish. They use it in their work.

I love going to big cities where I hear every language imaginable.

I think our diversity as humans makes us more inquisitive about everything. It helps us to advance and prosper.

What a poor world we would have if we were all alike.

23. I am so glad they got charged. Rascist assholes need to realize there ARE consequences to their acti

24. When people in the States tell me, "I speak American!"

I tell them, "no you don't. You speak European. You don't speak a word of American, unless you somehow managed to move England from Europe to here--or unless you speak Navajo, Hopi, Inuit, Nahuatl, Seminole or some other American language."

The usual response from Trumpanzees is "Huh?"

26. I'm learning Spanish so I can speak it in..

stores and check out lines just to piss off the repugs.
