Heisenberg Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AsburySkinsFan Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnyderShrugged Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 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.

SkinsHokieFan Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 http://www.thepittsburghchannel.com/news/17789356/detail.html 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lombardi's_kid_brother Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just seems fishy to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Evil Genius Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Drugs - I suspect. Tough chick though...she refused medical help even though someone carved a letter on her face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooked Crack Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dockeryfan Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AsburySkinsFan Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 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 Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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?

ljs Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeInJc aka M.I.A.

difleha Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
