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.
Which would indicate the B is indeed backwards and not a flipped picture.
If the assailant on top of her and positioned so he was looking towards her feet then the “B” would look as if it was backwards but to the assailant it would be forwards and correct.
Upside down.
Not at all. Hold around the neck with your left hand. The victim’s head is slightly below you. Knife/keys whatever are in your right hand. Your right elbow will be down. Her right cheek will be to the left of your right hand. You will then write a B like you normally would on a piece of paper and it will be a backwards B.
A very nice but quite persistent MD, in an interview room with an very experienced detective, is going to find the truth. It can't be hidden. The truth is written on her face, to the experts who know how to analyze injuries.
I want one.
I tend to agree. Let me know what you think of my #364.
Will Obama condemn this act?... Silence is deafening..
This is the Change...
Exactly, which is why the McCain campain (and we supporters by extension) need to withold judgement until it’s fully investigated.
If it’s true, we can let the dogs out.
“Stuff it little person, my sign on date is 7.5 years older than yours”
Which proves what? That you can’t be a 7.5 year troll? Okay, glad you didn’t actually make a point there or I’d have to run to bed and cry.
I have no doubt you are correct. You can’t fake this stuff.
Ditto here too —could she have done this to herself? Carving it while looking in the mirror, not realizing it was a reverse image when someone else looked at it?
bump
It's a real nice area.
When did Willie Horton get out of jail?
The bigger question (rhetorical actually, since the answer is foregone): Will the MSM actually report an act of violence perpetrated in the name of Obama against a Republican woman? My guess is they won’t cover it even 1/10th as much as they did the lie about someone saying “kill him” at a Palin rally.
Real violence against Pubbies is the narrative.
The story will be scrutinized by everybody and the holes in the story will become obvious.
There was a similar case at Princeton last spring, a pro life student claimed to have been attacked by pro choicers. The injuries were self inflicted.
This is a major bummer as it will boomerang on Republicans and allow democrats to claim ALL abuse claims are bogus.
