in total agreement with you on the boiling point meter and outrage. ...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.

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.

They are legitimate questions. If the Carving was done with an edged weapon it was done very gently.

If she was lying on the ground, he would have easier access to her face by standing at her head and it would be a regular “B” looking down at her.

But “valor” must be cast aside sometimes, especially when you are fighting for Democracy itself. This election is too important to be nice. We are facing the election of a naked Socialist who may not even be eligible for the office. I don’t care what it takes to win this one, we are facing true evil this time. When a man can stand on the floor of assembly and argue against a bill that guarantees basic human rights to a baby that survives abortion, all bets are off...

I hadn’t read about the ‘KKK’ carved into a car.
It is a bit scary.....but, I’m true “red,white and blue” American....and, despite my petite size..... these colors don’t run!

Good grief.

I agree that its very likely the complete truth. But in this day and what not, it pays to be skeptical of nearly everything. I just wanted to throw those observations out there.

This is a great chart. I am going to send it to my more analytically inclined democrat acquaintances (few that they are). I recommend everyone else do so too.

We have nothing to lose. People in the media already attack conservatives, regardless of the truth. This incident, which I believe to be real, is going to resonate on talk radio, e-mails and message boards. The damage will be swift (especially in Pennsylvania) and reinforce the doubts people have about the piece of zhit known as Obama....

Obama has said he wants to create a ‘civilian security force’......and, just what would their charge be?? Anyone who disagrees or questions Obama gets a visit...??
Wish someone on Fox would talk about this ‘civilian security force’ and ‘mandated volunteerism’.

Interesting.

I have said for a few years that we on FR should think of a place to meet if we ever have an emergency and need each other.

Just as we do with our families.

If you are right, and I think you are, the perp was right handed.

“The backwards B makes me VERY nervous.”

So it is not possible that the attacker was standing over her head as she lay on the pavement with her feet away from him?

ATM video should easily verify the attack I assume.

Amazing how many people confuse backwards with upside down.

While this may be true, I think it's unwise to go into any detail here. Those who have are already in a "category" whether they realize it or not.

There's a reason the DoD doesn't use FR to process ATOs and deliver ordinance to targets.

She had walked away from the ATM towards her car when she was attacked. It was reported in one of the articles.

You are absolutely right. I’ve rarely seen so much pussyfooting around here as I have on these threads.
