There are some sick individuals in this world.

[Smoot Point Really]

horrifying...

[Heisenberg]

WTH, I hope they hurry up and come out with some link to this. I googled it and nothing came back but blogs about the Drudge website.

No clue what people are thinking - and please think before you try to paint all Obama supporters with a broad brush.

[AsburySkinsFan]

Sick...just sick...I pray for this woman, and pray that the people who did this are found and prosecuted, there is no place for this period.

[SnyderShrugged]

It saddens me to the core that politics trumps life and respect for each other as individuals so often. I pray for her and her family, and even for those that did this to her. They obviously have a severe sickness to do this, no matter their political stripes.

[Heisenberg]

Noone else is reporting this so far - still waiting.

This can't be real

A dark skinned attacker carved a "B" into her face?


PITTSBURGH -- A 20-year-old woman who was robbed at an ATM in Bloomfield was also maimed by her attacker, police said.

Pittsburgh police spokeswoman Diane Richard tells Channel 4 Action News that the victim was robbed at knifepoint on Wednesday night outside of a Citizens Bank near Liberty Avenue and Pearl Street just before 9 p.m.

Richard said the robber took $60 from the woman, then became angry when he saw a McCain bumper sticker on the victim's car. The attacker then punched and kicked the victim, before using the knife to scratch the letter "B" into her face, Richard said.

Richard said the woman refused medical treatment after the assault, which happened outside the view of the bank's surveillance cameras.

The robber is described as a dark-skinned black man, 6 feet 4 inches tall, 200 pounds with a medium build, short black hair and brown eyes. The man was wearing dark colored jeans, a black undershirt and black shoes.

So, the dude mugged her...walked away...saw the McCain sticker...and then attacked her.

Something is really weird with this.

Bloomfield is not exactly a "bad" neighborhood, but it borders a bad neighborhood.

The carving of a "B" just sounds outlandish to me

I dunno, I have met some pretty classless people on the other side in my life, but carving a letter into my face?

Just seems fishy to me

[The Evil Genius]

Drugs - I suspect.

Tough chick though...she refused medical help even though someone carved a letter on her face.

[Cooked Crack]

Scumbags getting too involved with politics. Anyone know why she didn't accept medical help? Tough or not, if someone carves a letter into my face I'm getting checked out.

[dockeryfan]

It doesn't sound like he attacked her because she's a McCain Volunteer. From the way it reads, there was no way for him to know she was a volunteer at all.

Either way the guy's clearly nuts.

[AsburySkinsFan]

The article posted by SkinsHokieFan doesn't say she was a McCain volunteer, just that she had a McCain bumper sticker...that matters little though if she was attacked as reported.

[BigMike619]

looks to me like dude was just robbing her and then when he saw the mccain sticker on her car got all pissed off.

the B is odd though...or just downright crazy.

[SoCalSkins]

Maybe she doesn't have health insurance?

Here is my problem with the whole story

It is basically implaying a 6-4 black guy who supports Senator Obama for POTUS carved a "B" into her face because of a McCain sticker

I mean, really? I am calling BS here

[PeterMP]

I'm starting to wonder what "carved" means. It might mean some small scratches on a cheek.

[hokie4redskins]

Does seem fishy. Drudge took it off the BIG RED HEADLINE. Still linked though.

[Predicto]

I'll wait and see what more information comes out before I comment on this one.

[ljs]

why don't some of you realize that there ARE sick people out there. Reminds me of a jury once who decided a car theft suspect we arrested was innocent, cause "he had just got out of jail and why would someone do something to go back to jail." - quoted from the poll of jurors. :doh:

the word naive comes to mind

[MikeInJc aka M.I.A.]

Apparently this isn't the only incident where someone, or in this instance (the link below) someone's house, was targeted for supporting McCain.

What the? Of course we know there are sick people out there.

What we are discussing is whether this had anything to do with the election or not.

[Dan T.]

Why hasn't Obama come out against this type of brazen attack?
[/SARCASM]

[difleha]

True, but if a McCain supporter did this to a black Obama supporter, it would be all over the news! Think about it.


Don't know if it's legit though.

[Prosperity]

I doubt it's real

on the one hand it's unbelievable, on the other hand there are so many people out there that it shouldn't be surprising to find some really ****ed up ones

[MikeInJc aka M.I.A.]

True, but if a McCain supporter did this to a black Obama supporter, it would be all over the news! Think about it.


Don't know if it's legit though.

You forgot to mention the attacker would also be labeled a racist, because you know this attack happened in western PA and western PA is full of racists, isn't that right Murtha? :rolleyes:

[Cooked Crack]

This was breaking news on MSNBC. I guess they're waiting for the story to develop.

[Predicto]

And here we go....

let's create a hypothetical situation and then moan about how unfair we are hypothetically being treated... :doh:

[aREDSKIN]

So, is this the "change" Obama's talking about??

[BigMike619]

And the black Obama supporter doesn't even have to be a person...it could be a bear

[DarrellsMyHero28]

So, is this the "change" Obama's talking about??

You're right.

Obama is directly responsible for this attack, and this is the change he wants to bring to this country.

:doh:

[Lombardi's_kid_brother]

So, is this the "change" Obama's talking about??

Yes, the Obama campaign is all about carving initials in the face of white people.

I already have my box cutter and am just waiting for the Inaguration.

Sad to say but it doesn't surprise me at all. We live in a dangerous ****ed up world these days. I hope they catch this animal.

[HogNose]

Come on dude...:slap: :doh:.

[Gracelander]

Make's me think she did this to herself for some publicity.
Why is the B backwards, did she do this to herself in a mirror?
I'm thinking this is a white Tawana Brawley.


Now if i'm wrong, I wish her well and hope they catch the guy.

[Heisenberg]

It's unfortunate that I was able to predict that this would somehow be used to label Obama and all of his supporters.

Some of you really need to think about things before you type them . . .

[sleazye]

And the black Obama supporter doesn't even have to be a person...it could be a bear


hahahaha I rarely laugh at things I read on message boards but that was pretty good.

[DarrellsMyHero28]

And why did the dude make a B?

Why not an O? Its much easier.

[Heisenberg]

And why did the dude make a B?

Why not an O? Its much easier.



LOL I wondered that too . . . plus you normally associate Obama with the "O" symbol - it's just odd.

[Gracelander]

Maybe he forgot how to spell Barack

[Kunia5]

Probably criminally insane ex-con.

I have noticed it was first reported as "carved into her face," then "scratched", then just recently "she declined medical treatment."

I wonder if the McCain campaign is writing these press releases.

[Cooked Crack]

Now that I think about it. How do we know that backward B isn't for Bob Barr?

[aREDSKIN]

Come on dude...:slap: :doh:.

Well, Murtha did say there were a lot of "RACISTS" in western PA and I guess he knows what he's talking about.

[HogNose]

And why did the dude make a B?

Why not an O? Its much easier.

Yeah an O would have been much easier. I have a hard time drawing B's on my kids etch a sketch. :silly:

[TuckahoeSkin]

Clearly a crime that should be pursued under Hate Crime statutes, but probably won't be.

Tangent alert --- That's what I don't like about Hate Crime statutes to begin with. A crime is a crime. The penalty for a crime should be sufficient enough as to deter the crime -- period. Adding more or less of a penalty becuase of the palor of the perpetrator v. victim is inherently unjust. Treat all people equally. --- End of Tangent.

Hopefully this guy gets caught and is severely punished.

[Tulane Skins Fan]

That's disgusting.

[Predicto]

For some reason I can't help but remember Morton Downey, Jr. and the neo-nazis in the airport bathroom....

I admit that I have nothing to base this on.... but I keep thinking it.

[SkinsHokieFan]

For some reason, I can't help but think this girl is lying through her teeth and this is complete BS

I admit that I have nothing to base this on....but I am 95 percent sure she is full of it

[SkinInsite]

God damn Bob Barr supporters!

[WVUforREDSKINS]

WOW.

Horrible. Just sickening.


"For some reason, I can't help but think this girl is lying through her teeth and this is complete BS"

Red flag went off for me when it said she refused medical treatment. I mean, if you have a dirty knife blade into your face you might want anti-biotics right?

[JimmyConway]

I also think this story is a bit fishy for reasons already mentioned: backwards B, dark black man??, saw the McCain sticker and THIS is why he turned around, etc.

The question I can't help but ask myself is: on what evidence will they bring somebody in and charge them with this crime?

[Dan T.]

Why hasn't Obama come out against this type of brazen attack?
[/SARCASM]

I figured everyone would note the saracasm, until this. . .

That's were I'm at right now. It really isn't adding up. I saw the picture and the B on her face is backwards and too clean. If someone is carving into her face why didn't she seem to struggle at all. Plus what type of knife was this guy using? A swiss army knife?

[JimboDaMan]

If this is true, its absolutely terrible.

[WVUforREDSKINS]

I also think this story is a bit fishy for reasons already mentioned: backwards B,

She did it herself without a mirror :doh:



dark black man??,

Same thing. Morton Downey Jr claimed that neo-nazis mugged him in an airport bathroom and drew swastikas on his face. Turned out he was lying, did it to himself for the publicity.

[G.A.C.O.L.B.]

Yes, the Obama campaign is all about carving initials in the face of white people.

I already have my box cutter and am just waiting for the Inaguration.

Man you're lucky. As a white person I'm gonna have to carve myself up.
Soooo not looking forward to it. But **** it. Gotta take one for the team.


Same thing. Morton Downey Jr claimed that neo-nazis mugged him in an airport bathroom and drew swastikas on his face. Turned out he was lying, did it to himself for the publicity.

I could see a McCain supporter sitting in a bar, talking with other McCain supporters, seeing how bad the polls look for their guy and bam it hits them.

"Maybe if we stage this thing the ensuing outrage could very well flip PA to McCain. You never know. **** it. Let's do it."

And thus we have this.

Lots of stupid people in the world. (And if this story turns out to be legit, flip this sentence to the attacker.)

[cpnasty]

maybe it was a dark black arab dude, since the B is written backwards:whoknows:

[Hubbs]

The whole "that's what a B would look like in a mirror" thing makes it very hard for me to believe this woman.

[Rdskn4Lyf21]

For everyone that can't figure out the "backwards B", could it just be she was on the ground and he was standing at the top of her body as opposed to the bottom and carved it? Hmmm....:idea:

If true this is incredibly disgusting.

It might seem a little bit fishy, but come on people let's give her the benefit of the doubt. If this actually did happen these jokes are kind of lame.

That being said, if it is fake- they are hilarious.

[kingchente]

She changed her story. Big surprise.

"Police say bank surveillance footage doesn't show her at an ATM where she says she was attacked.

Todd, who is white, now says she was knocked unconscious and doesn't remember being cut. She now says she only discovered the wound later."

No, it's apparently the change Senator McCain and Governor Pailin have been talking about.

It was a premature "enter", but I should have left it alone and allow this to take place as a game. :)

I can't believe the GOP has more crazies this election than the left. Who would have thunk it?

But there's still time for a crazy Obama supporter to top this.

You're right, anything can still happen. It's been a long time coming, Hoop. I think some of the more, uh, "colorful" and "energetic" representatives of the evangelical movement and the, uh, dick-like fear-monger arrogant ******* insult school of thought that has recently flourished, perhaps influenced by years of the big-success conservative talk-radio personalities modeling the appropriate behaviors are among the big factors. :silly:

Fortunately for conservatives, many of their values are so core solid (as are those of the libs to be fair), and the libs are so inevitably silly and confused, that the tension of success will swing the pendulum back again in 4-8 years. :D
