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.
Fankly, I’m surprised the police didn’t insist on a medical assessment for evidentiary purposes. Which makes me wonder if they didn’t take her story seriously or suspected it might be manufactured.
I was being slightly sarcastic, but honestly, he is a dumb supporter/robber/mutilator/psychopath. Everyone knows “O” is the symbol of Obama.
Stupid thug.
Not if as the report says, it was captured on the ATM camera, it doesn’t!
I suspect the “B” was for “Bitch.” Gangsta mentality.

When he said “...get in their faces.” I bet you didn’t think he meant THAT far into their faces.

I think if O wins you are in for a really big surprise about the O and his supporters.
And, he needs to be held accountable for those words and this needs to be a campaign issue.
On MSNBC... call it mugging.
There's always the API story /s :oP
Do you have any idea what Allegheny County charges for a ride in a squad to the ER? Maybe she had no insurance or had a high deductible.
Some policies don’t cover transportation or ambulance fees.
Here’s another report that doesn’t mention the “B” scratched on her face.

...yes, and so it begins.

B for Barack
This poster is funny and frighteningly accurate.

“Get in their faces”
“Words have meaning”
I wonder what are the odds he would be charged with a hate crime?
What doesn't make sense about that? When was the last time you were robbed? How often are people punched and kicked during a mugging but don't insist on medical treatment? The article said the "B" was "scratched" into her face. What medical treatment does that require. This article is based on the words of a police spokesman. Are you implying that you think the whole thing is made up? It happened last night. Do you somehow think the police, who deal with countless incidents like this in a large city couldn't figure out if it was phoney?
Saying something "doesn't make sense" implies you are very familiar with the topic. Are you a cop?
