...but I have some reservations: There are some things about the image that don't seem to jive.
1) Her black eye isn't swollen at all.
2) The "B" doesn't appear to have penetrated the skin, but only reddened it. How could it be that way when it was supposedly carved with a knife during an attack?
3) Would you hold still while someone carved your face? Still enough so he could carve an even, legible letter?
My BS sensor is twitching a bit...
I feel like I”m at the daily kos nitpicking a child’s pic for evidence.
Both cheeks are swollen. The one with the B more than the other.
Good grief.

About 5 0r 6 up on the frontpage now.
They will probably start locking soon if they haven’t already.
1) Her black eye isn't swollen at all.
Looks like it's an on the scene police photo. Give it some time, looks like both eyes will be blackened.
2) The "B" doesn't appear to have penetrated the skin, but only reddened it. How could it be that way when it was supposedly carved with a knife during an attack?
I didn't read anywhere that a knife was used for carving. I don't know what he used, fact remains, he chose to brand her right then and there.
3) Would you hold still while someone carved your face? Still enough so he could carve an even, legible letter?
Let me see...the six foot four dude comes out of nowhere smacks her in the face, probably screams epithets ar her, robs her and throws her to the ground. She looks to be a tiny thing, so I'm going to guess she was petrified"
My BS sensor is twitching a bit...Well, since I was ten I seemed to have spent way too many hours in emergency rooms. People react differently under different kinds of stress and damage but I have observed that the most defenseless ones are the ones that are the most devastated. Their whole world view has been instantly and irrevocably altered. The truth is that the world is a harsh and cruel place still and they now know that anyone can take whatever they want from them at anyime.
The B looks very consistent with the attacker crouched over her head from behind, controlling her by grabbing a handful of her hair. He could have pinner her head between his knees with a handful of hair in one hand and whatever it is he used to mutilate her face with the other (screwdriver? Puncture weapons common amongst those in and out of prison).
Or, he could have slammed her to the ground, slammed a knee in her face giving her the black eye and pinned her head to the pavement long enough to whip out a quick B on her face, again, with her body streached out in front of him and he behind her head.
If you review mugging videos, this is common for the perp to be in this position, especially when attacking women.
Most guys who are strong or used to be strong in their youth know how easy it is to control a woman just wrestling around in fun without harming her. I mean picking a woman up and throwing her or slamming her down into the water is child’s play to a strong man, as anyone who has played with women in a pool or in the water at the beach can attest to. Just a fact of life, weaker sex and all that.
Add size, strength, hatred and adrenaline to that and a strong man has superhuman strength compared to the average woman.
In light of Obama’s divisiveness and call to violence urging his people to “Get in the face” of all who oppose his bid for Marxist control (code words for “Attack”, this attack by what amounts to an Obama Operative is perfectly consistent with the countless reports of violence perpetrated by Obama Operatives since this contest began.
Actually, Democrats have been doing this stuff more and more each election. Shooting up houses, attacking our people, defacing posters, graffiti and the like. Started two elections ago.
At some point we will have to declare that things cannot continue like this and either take it where it needs to go or have a serious discussion about a peaceful (if possible) break up of the Union and both sides form up new governments.
The Socialists can form Communism in their areas as that is their true desire, and the rest of us can keep the original ideology of freedom the nation was founded on.
After all, how would that be much different from Europe which the Democrats so highly champion? Isn’t that what the NeoSocialists want anyway? Just because we break up into our respective areas doesn’t mean we couldn’t still have alliances just as the Europeans do.
The Democrats have succeeded in their goal of dividing and Balkanizing the nation.
So, we’ll keep the nukes and the military which the Democrats hate anyway, and the oil, and they can keep their latte sipping areas and tofu. Both sides would get along a lot better and be a lot less stressed out. I’m not seeing a downside to it.
Her face and eye will be swollen by tomorrow. Getting one’s face cut feels simply wet initially, not pain.
