Boyfriend's Tinder App Triggers Samurai Sword Attack in Camas, Woman Tells Police
The Oregonian ^ | Shane Dixon Kavanaugh

He shouldn't have swiped right.

A Camas, Washington woman repeatedly slashed her boyfriend with a samurai sword after she claimed to find a Tinder dating app on his phone, police said.

Emily Javier faces an attempted murder charge in the early Saturday attack that left Alex Lovell fighting for his life, court records show.

"I just stabbed him!" Javier, 30, told officers outside the couple's Northeast Garfield home around 1:50 a.m., according to a probable cause affidavit. "You guys need to help him!"

The officers entered the bedroom and found the walls splattered with blood and Lovell, 29, curled up in ball, the police report shows. He was rushed to a hospital with life-threatening injuries.

Javier told police she hatched the assault on Lovell, her boyfriend of two years, after a string of startling discoveries.

First, there was the dating app on Lovell's phone, she said. Then she saw sensual scratches on his back. Finally, Javier found red hair in the couple's shower drain, according to the police report.

Her hair, on the other hand, is dyed green.

In her interview with police, Javier fumed over Lovell's penchant for playing video games. She also said that she had suspected he had cheated on her before, an accusation he always denied.

Enraged, Javier said she went to a shopping mall and purchased a samurai sword.

She said she then spent the next week stewing and plotting her violent revenge.

"I thought I was going to stab him while he was sleeping," Javier told police, according to the affidavit.

Her anger peaked Friday night when Lovell returned home and ignored her, Javier said. Around 9 p.m., she went into the couple's bedroom, where she had taped the samurai sword and two knives to her side of the bed, the police report shows.

Lovell later joined her and drifted off to sleep. Javier told police she hid his phone so he couldn't call for help.

After the lights went out, Javier said she brought the samurai sword down on Lovell's throat, according to the affidavit.

Javier told police that her boyfriend started screaming and yelled for her to stop.

She didn't.

"I was trying to kill him," she told police.

Javier eventually called 911.

She was arrested and booked in the Clark County jail on first-degree attempted murder charges.

She made a brief appearance Monday in Clark County Superior Court.

Jail records show Javier's bail is set at $350,000.

I did not say or imply that it was “all his fault” — YOU are the moron, obviously.

We all saw exactly what you wrote. You blamed him for not picking up on stuff you think he should have. So its his fault.

You have a slovenly, careless, illogical mind.

To say person X may have missed some clue(s) to danger does not mean that someone else’s action(s) are then entirely the fault of person X. THAT would be an idiotic position (you).

But to say someone may have missed any clue(s) to danger certainly does imply that they might have been more cautious. Being less cautious (personal choice about risk-aversion) than someone else does not mean that “all” bad results are therefore the “fault” of that person.

Well, she can’t have been that crazy - she realized that under the new Washington state laws - they could have just taken away her guns, so she bought a sword instead. Thank goodness - or sombebody might have gotten hurt!

And following the usual omission of the truth by the news media, we’re expected to be gullible enough to believe that she and her boyfriend were always drug-free (”straight”) and sober.

Sure. Yeah, right.

So I guess that this means that their relationship is over?

The one flaw in the H-C matrix is that “crazy” is an open-ended axis. I’d put her at about (5, 100).

It’s like I told my sons, “Never stick your d- in crazy, son. Oh, it’s fun at first but then come the restraining orders, the lost jobs, the attempted murders... it’s just not worth it.”

His pork sword got him the samurai sword. A cautionary tale.

How’s he going to learn?

From his next girlfriend. Or the one after that.

Cheaters are not careful by nature (as this story proves) and sooner or later he is going to shack up with Mz Loony, or her crazy family.

Or catch something that can not be cured with a quick trip to the free clinic.

Balance there is.
