Attacker yells 'Scarface' before slashing woman
San Diego Union-Tribune ^ | 5/4/2010 | Kristina Davis

SAN DIEGO — A man slashed a woman on the face while yelling “Scarface” in an attack on the doorstep of her home in City Heights Monday night, San Diego police said.

The 33-year-old woman answered a man’s knock on her door at her home on Fairmount Avenue near Dwight Street about 10 p.m.

The man swiped her face with an unknown sharp object as he yelled the title of the Al Pacino gangster film before running away. The woman’s wounds were superficial, police said.

Investigators said Tuesday that the attack does not appear to be random and may be connected to a series of prior incidents involving the family.

The assailant was described as Latino, 5 feet 6 to 5 feet 8 inches tall, heavy build, wearing dark clothing and a black hooded sweat shirt.

How are they so sure he didn’t yell the title of the 1932 movie starring Paul Muni?

I disagree as I'm inclined to believe he yelled the stage name of rapper Brad Jordan.

California... no concealed carry... anti-gun mentality... yep, this is where we’re headed if guns are banned. You think the UK has a knife problem? American youth and criminals have always outshined their EU counterparts with the depths of depravity to which they’ll sink.

A bit off topic, but I just read something about a UK knife problem. I had never heard about this-do you have any more information?

Don’t rule out the popular video game by Vivendi Universal which awards points for committing such heinous acts.

There’s an article on Drudge about Simon Cowell ranting over Britain’s “knife problem.” Yes, there’s a huge issue with knives over there. Since they’ve banned guns, the yobs are roaming the streets with knives and bleach bombs. It’s really not safe to be on the streets after dark over there, and that’s coming from people who live in country.

We’re still safe in America provided we can protect ourselves. Cowell doesn’t understand that America is free and safe because our people can rise up at any time, putting the fear into government (which hasn’t been working real well as of late).

Google images for "Glasgow Smile" or news for "UK Knife."I've been to Scotland several times and the knife crime is epic.
This is a Glasgow Smile.

The only thing I'm reading here is that the Brits refuse to blame the perpetrators of the crime and instead want to blame the implements. If knives are banned, what next? 4x4s?

Criminals and the criminally insane do not follow laws and are going to use whatever means necessary to carry out their crimes. By disallowing the public to arm themselves, you are effectively allowing "survival of the fittest" rule wherein the criminals are the survivors.

These stories are exactly the reason that I say...

DON’T EVER OPEN YOUR DOOR TO A STRANGER! EVER!

Get a peephole, or better, a CCTV plus an intercom. They are very cheap now, and don’t require wiring.

Home invaders and attackers like this guy are like VAMPIRES. Almost always, they depend on their naive victim to willingly open their door.

Wonder how serial killers get away with multiple murders?

One said he would scout neighborhoods then try the front door---if it was unlocked he would go in and kill---nobody would suspect him b/c he had no connection to the victim

Many people post signs w/ the name of the burgular system they've installed----clever crooks look for those signs b/c the resident is telling them exactly how to get into the home.

Wichita's BTK killer got away with murdering for 25 years----he installed burgular alarm systems for a living---he knew exactly how to disable the system to enter homes.

Can’t forget the possible illegal alien connection as well. . .this is, after all, California.

He wasn't referring to the movie, he was taunting the victim with what he thought would be her new nickname.:-(

The woman’s wounds were superficial, police said

Hopefully, he failed and she will not be left disfigured.
