This gal is full of it. Posted on her blog twice earlier that evening — first saying she was looking for an ATM where she wouldn’t have to pay a fee, then saying she though she’d ended up on the “wrong side of Pittsburgh”. Then later the same night as the alleged attack, she was back blogging again, with a teaser about what a big blog story she was going to be writing after a “rough night”. Gotta love the perfectly formed “B”, supposedly done by an attacker with with a knife, but really barely scratching the skin so no danger of any scarring.

And...

1. They eye isn’t swolen or cut

2. The eye is already black and blue when it is usually red and swolen for the first 24 hours.

3. The black eye looks like makeup

4. The B was so carefully done, that it obviously took time. The attacker surely would not have risked that.

5. The B was also artful, symetrical and greek as if done by a burning tool rather than a sharp edged knife.

Yeah, I saw it too. The "B" looked reversed in the image on Drudge. I sure hope that was a boo-boo by someone who handled the image, although in this post-photography era I don't see how one can mirror a digital image by accident.

Even without the issue of the mirror image "B," the idea that a guy would take time to hold a woman still while he scratched a letter on her face with the tip of a knife is very hard to buy in to. It would take at least a couple of minutes to do it if everything was calm and stationary. I just can picture a street thug taking time to do this. I'm sorry, I just can't. 95% of street toughs can't plan what they're going to do in the next 10 seconds. Mostly that consists of getting money, buying drugs, and looking for something to eat.

the more I look at the photo — the more I don't like this story... I'm afraid this young lady may be looking for attention in a very destructive and crazy way...

prior references to surveillance images are now gone...

The “B” is not persuasive — the shiner looks real but... something doesn't smell right.

I take the high road and say — I hope the story IS A HOAX — that it is exposed quickly and the young lady is forgiven and gets help...

but IF it is a hoax — it is a very dangerous and destructive one and it is hard not to be VERY angry...

Uh... the B is backwards (mirror image) or flipped, as if she made the mark herself while looking in the mirror. Otherwise, the attacker would have had to hold her head in his lap to make the mark, while she had her legs and hands available to fight him off? I’m skeptical. This could could be a “Darwin Award” candidate. I’m just sayin’...

I seem to recall that there was a fellow who carved the letters F-A-G into his forehead, and shortly thereafter called the police, claiming that he had been attacked by a gang of right-wing thugs. He garnered a bit of regional--and perhaps national--fame, but not for long.

You see, where this would-be martyr of the progressive faith went wrong was simple: He carved the letters into his brow backwards--unmistakably so. It took the police no time at all to uncover what really occurred. The entire story was fictional, but it didn't stop the true believers from holding this putative man up as a victim--even after he was charged for making a false assault claim.

But...but...didn’t Teddy Kennedy say - “It’s not the facts, it’s the SERIOUSNESS OF THE CHARGE that we need to investigate???”
