If she did it herself as a set up for “O”bama, then why would this highly intelligent and politically astute young woman use the letter “B” instead of the letter “O” that everyone involved in politics knows is the Obama symbol, just as the swastika is widely known.
Instead the fact that its a “B” further indicates an ignorant attacker, in a hurry and confused on what to carve or in his mind he thinks its “B” for “Bama” instead of O.
The fact he put B just cements it even more that this was no self inflicted mutilation. Just another stupid you know what (uh, thug, that’s right thug) who screwed even this up.
Ever see the photo of the moronic road painting crew that dyslexically painted Sotp in stead of Stop on the pavement?
Or Scool instead of School?
This reminds me of those type of situations.
When people get angry and pumped full of adrenalin they loose fine motor control. That’s why cops send so many errant shots downrange in a real confrontation and that’s why people in a fight can hurt their adversaries so bad.
Angry, agitated people are rough people.
Very sad either way. I blame Drudge at this point for a screaming headline ‘Mutilated’ and ‘a B carved in her face’. I am not the only Freeper that was brought to tears earlier today when it was first reported(before the pics came out).
The only reason it was believed, was because it IS BELIEVABLE! There are real reports of violence and property damage going on all over the country right now on McCain/Palin supporters. It is escalating. The left in this country is unglued.
I’ve been quiet on this thing all night, but I need to stop.
First, the fact that the attacker was said to be 6’4” accounts for the “backwards” B. It’s already been mentioned that it could be upside down, but if the attacker is taller the natural writing movement will produce a backwards B.
Second, “down to the bone” is not something that typically occurs in any sort of slashing. In fact, I’d doubt any member of law enforcement would say that. The cheek is comprised primarily of soft fatty tissue, with only the upper cheekbones providing a bony surface (not cut in the victim’s pictures). As a relatively thick and fatty substance, cheeks have a lot of “give” and will not easily slice with knives.
While you and the vast majority of conveniently-just-joined-to-complain trolls will say she’s somehow only seeking attention, the fact remains that there are plenty of logical explanations for this that do not point towards self-mutilation.
