THE GREATEST PHOTO I'VE SEEN ALL DAY!

[stanz]

Please explain...what's a stingball? Looks nasty.

[Mr. Mojo]

Beautiful.

[Ciexyz]

If she was throwing rocks and interfering with military shipments, then she deserves to face jail time.

[ThreeYearLurker]

'Tis only a flesh wound!

[ladyinred]

For a moment, I thought this girl had been to a very bad ah, shall we say, "enhancement" surgeon, as if he/she didn't know where to put the implants! :-)

[Objective Reality]

Wow maybe if it hit her in the eye you would be in heaven.

I am always in support of teaching important lessons to people who believe their pompous self-righteousness makes them immune to predictable consequences. Her losing an eye would not even have begun to compare to a soldier losing life or limb as a result of her activities. Read the green/anarchist screeds regarding this war - they openly advocate treason. Expect no sympathy from me regarding her inconsequential "owie."

[PokeyJoe]

Rock Salt?

Hell, I would have used hollow point fragmentation rounds - with phosphorous.

[dagoofyfoot]

Oh man, that's one nasty zit. She should see about having that lanced.

[Slyfox]

When I first looked at the photo, I thought it was of one of those Iraqi children that our guys freed today. Then, I read what you wrote. Geezow, if she was an Iraqi citizen under Saddam, she would not be alive today, when Uday got through with her.

[mathurine]

Looks like a hickie to me.

[Objective Reality]

...what's a stingball?

You know the "Superball" that kids play with? Extremely elastic - throw it against the ground, it'll bounce fifty feet into the air? Hard rubber, small, heavy for its size? Put one in a shotgun with a magnum powder load, and fire it at close range. Voila - "stingball." Knock their ass back twenty feet, leave a baseball sized welt. There also exist "stingball grenades" for, say, prison riots.

[tophat9000]

I always knew there were "knotheads"

[martin_fierro]

Anyone who gives you a hard time over the "graphic nature" of that (living) woman's photo should be subjected to photos of Saddam's (dead) torture victims -- whose plight this idiot was aggravating via her foolhardy "direct action".

[Anamensis]

It would give me pleasure to slap both her eyes into one socket.

Wowwwwww...... I have never, ever heard that one before. That is really good. I'm going to use that!

[KneelBeforeZod]

if the used swat gear to shoot her she'd be dead.

the a-holes are her and her ilk who interfered with people trying to do their job on private property.

perhaps you'd like people to come on to your private property and prevent you from making money

[mercy]

It's been on the front page of Yahoos most e-mailed since about five minutes after it happened. I hope it broke her f**king jaw!

[CAfraudPI]

It's but a scratch!

[lilylangtree]

Saw this pic a few days ago. She looks like she's got a bad toothache courtesy of the Oakland PD.

[Yeti]

Hell, I would have used hollow point fragmentation rounds

Or a shotgun shell packed with cut-up dimes?

But seriously...

Is it just me, or is it kind of funny the way the lump swells away from her face on the front side? Too sudden and the swelling seems unnaturally shaped. The abrasion in the center of the swelling, not very well differentiated from the surface of the lump.

Could it possibly be faked somehow, either with hollywood makeup or digitally? I notice she refused to give her name.
