COLUMBUS, Ohio -- A 20-year-old immigrant from Somalia said someone assaulted her with pepper spray outside an Ohio mosque and told her to leave the country, spurring investigations by police and likely the FBI.

...

The FBI said Tuesday it will likely open a civil rights investigation, the results of which would be turned over to federal prosecutors for any possible charges.

A mosque security camera recorded the encounter.

Doesn’t look fake on the video. Looks like a white hilljack in his 30s driving an old white Cherokee. A pretty damning tape, IMHO.

True. I noticed that as well, although she appears to rub her eyes afterwards. Whether that was planned remains to be seen. The “perp” who confronts her at her window does look like what we here call a “typical west side hill jack.”

video from 10TV News shows the encounter to some degree but does not confirm that the 20 year old "Saida Said" is accurately reflecting what took place. As a poster above stated, this could have involved some earlier traffic issue which the driver of the SUV tried to resolve. If pepper spray was used, was it hers or his? She may have felt threatened that a male driver dared to approach her and misfired the pepper spray. Perhaps the driver of the SUV will turn himself in to clarify the actual event. I certainly hope the FBI investigates all possibilities, not just 'her' version of the events.

I wonder if she cut him off and he stopped to give her a seven second opinion of her driving skills. If the DOJ starts locking up everyone who yells at other drivers the morning commute will get awfully light around here in a hurry.

I certainly hope the FBI leaves it up to a sheriff's deputy.

Very possible scenario. Even if that’s the case, I fear the FBI will fry the guy, with Eric Holder’s smirking approval.

I wouldn't trust the Franklin County Sheriff's Department to open my beer. They're that bad.

I connected eyes with a Muslim woman a couple of weeks ago in Macy’s and I smiled and nodded my head as I do with many strangers.

Her husband quickly looked at her face, she wasn’t smiling back, and her said something in a not so friendly tone in non engilsh.

I don’t no if he was chastising her for looking at me or not but it sounded harsh in tone.

I am a woman btw.

TO ALL:

This bears repeating....

A Christian woman outside of her Church being assaulted wouldn’t even make the local crime blog.

I am disgusted at what the left has done to this now way too politically correct Country. BTW...will Obama be at a Christian church on Christmas morning?

Note the devout gals attire, fully veiled/bagged. Consider this could possibly be this same 20 yr. old "Saida Said" Facebook page . . . references daily qur'an while photo displays no veil/bag. Was she veiled when she encountered the man in the white SUV? Or did she cover herself for her CAIR directed msm performance?

It was later reported that this woman, since 911, has spoken out. She’s condemned Islamic radicals. She’s called on all Muslim Americans to consider the freedoms and rights guaranteed in the U.S.

Just kidding.

Pepper spray?....Huh.

The video looks bogus to me. Security cameras, except for very sofisticated set ups that are monitored, don’t pan, track and zoom. Also, if this dame was peppered, she would be much more agitated than she is on film.

They do this all the time. All it takes is a complicit leftist.

http://www.newsrealblog.com/2010/12/19/top-10-hoaxes-perpetrated-by-the-left-and-trumpeted-by-a-complicit-media/

Video means nothing. There is too much at stake. Anything can be staged.

“Binding him with duct tape and gagging him, a person or persons had taped his federal census ID to his head and shoulder and with a felt tip pen had scrawled FED on his chest.”

“college professor who spray-painted her own car, and then pretended she was the victim of a hate crime: Kerri Dunn,”

etc etc etc

24 hours later and the local media is being VERY quiet about it today. The speculation on our local talk radio is that the story is unraveling and that as previously speculated, the only “crime” was the dude simply telling the woman off for a dingbat traffic maneuver.
