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.
You are thinking what I am thinking....these pictures need to get out to the public...but how?
This is exactly the Obama I am afraid of!!
I’m not disagreeing with you, is it possible that you can cite the web page or where you got this stat from? It would be helpful.
We’ve had several instances in my area of houses being vandelized because of McCain signs, one report here on FR had someone’s house being shot at as well as spray painted.
Odinga pictures and these headlines need to be sent out fast on Facebook and Myspace....diggs....
I'm toting "The Judge" by Tarus. Every other round is a .410 with No.4 shot, and the .45 longs are hollow points filled with dog waste.
Anyone think that the MSM will spin this as McCain’s fault due to his “negative” campaign?
I feel for the victim.
For folks to say that this was in someway related to anything Obama said is a bit ridiculous.

We don’t know that. You’ll have to prove to us that most other Obama supporters are NOT vicious pukes.
“The article I saw said it took place outside the camera view.”
Well, of course the perp is going to be sure to do it out of the camera range. And most certainly she told the Police that he had mentioned the bumper sticker to her as the reason for the attack. I doubt anyone here is making this up.
FIRST rule of posting here at FR:
RTFA BEFORE YOU POST.
Perp initailly just wanted money.
Perp went at it with the knife AFTER seeing the McCain sticker of the victim’s car.
Now that you have the facts straight, tell us again about the “dubious” nature of the political motivation.
You gotta be kidding me. What are you going to do, bring a lawsuit against him alleging 'get in their faces' equates to 'cut a letter in their faces after you mug them'?
This is tabloid stuff by Drudge, meant to stir up the knuckledraggers, and, evidently, it's working.
If he wins this will be a daily occurrence, as these thugs will take “spreading the wealth” into their own hands.
I look forward to tomorrow’s New York Times, where Frank Rich & Paul Krugman will tell us how ugly it’s getting, and will cite this attack, the shots fired at a Republican’s house, and other incidents of violence. After all, a few catcalls of “Muslim” and “traitor” at a McCain rally, and a false report that someone shouted “kill him”, sent them into a tizzy about how dangerously out of control the Republican base was becoming. Surely these real life examples of violence by Obama supporters will merit twice as much coverage as a few catcalls. Right?
(crickets chirping)
Catch any fish while trolling today?
Yes they are.
You’re known by the company you keep.
This is NO TIME for “blessed are the peacemakers” stuff. This is a WAR for the soul of our nation.
