Angry Black Male

By Kleinheider Posted on October 23, 2008 at 3:47 pm

Via the TV in Pittsburgh:

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.

UPDATE: Photo of the victim

UPDATE II: Victim’s name is Ashley Todd, and she works as a College Republican Field Rep for the state of PA

    She refused medical treatement? This sounds fishy to me.

    If you had a letter scratched into your face, you’d need urgent medical attention to stop the bleeding and stitches to prevent deep scarring. It’s not the sort of thing where you could just go home and slap a Band-Aid on it.

    I’m sorry she got robbed, but the refusal plus the fact that it happened outside of the bank’s surveillance cameras (if it were anywhere near the ATM it would have been caught) makes it sound like there’s more to this story.

    Who knows, she may not have had insurance for medical treatment, she might’ve been in shock, it might’ve been a deep scratch…I guess we’ll just have to see how it all plays out, and hope that the bastard who did this is arrested.

    What’s the purpose of reporting this story? Certainly as s crime story it doesn’t stand on its own. Is there a larger point being made? Some wackos support Obama? Not that big of a deal, anyone who’s seen the crowds at the lates Sarah Palin ralled can attest to the wing nut mentality there.

    Criminals support Obama? Ask Scooter Libbey who HE’s voting for…

    Is the station suggesting all black people are unstable? Roll a clip of Bill O’Reilly or Sean Hannity and you could make the same claim.

    This is a “nothing” story that ranks right up there with candidates getting their yard signs stolen in terms of importance.

    According to Pittsburgh’s CBS affiliate, the police have not yet confirmed the carved “B”:

    So everyone take a deep breath and wait for the police to make a report.

    Here is the picture of the woman. She was obviously beaten, and had a B scratched into her face, but “mutilated” was a bit over-the-top.

    Hmmm. How weird that the “B” is backwards. As if someone were doing it in a mirror. But who am I to judge.

    Sorta reminds me of something, though.
