Wouldn't an Obama supporter have scratched an "O" into her face?

[ContinentalOp]

:shrug: Just sayin...

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

1. It was clearly Borro, the Dyslexic Blade.

A well known Obama supporter and fundraiser.

[ShortnFiery]

9. ...

:spray:

Some thing's going on beyond the obvious.

This young lady is GENUINELY "a tragic figure" and that tragedy has little to do with national politics. :(

[Indenturedebtor]

26. BWAHAHAHA I just shot tahini into my sinuses thanks to you!

DAMN YOUUUUUUU!

:rofl:

[Liberal Veteran]

2. Maybe if she would have chosen an O it wouldn't be a mirror image of the letter.

What a moran this woman is.

[Soup Bean]

3. "B" for Bush? n/t

[ecstatic]

4. False. An Obama supporter would never carve anything into

anyone's face. We operate on hope, not hate. :)

[ContinentalOp]

8. I know..

But you know what I'm saying. I'm sure there is somebody out there who supports Obama and who also happens to be a bit of a psycho. Even that hypothetical person wouldn't have carved a "B" they would have carved an "O". Duh.

[baldguy]

5. No

Just sayin...

[vaberella]

6. That is the most SOMBERING statement.

You've officially made it a non-story. Why did...they put B and not O?! It makes no sense. Woah!!!

Thanks.

It's officially fake.

:rofl:

[ShortnFiery]

14. Just think about it? ... A wild eyed guy with a knife ... am I dyslexic when cutting her face

with the tip O my switchblade?!? :wtf: ... and how in the hell did she hold so still and get "abrasions" with no obvious gashes? :eyes:

This young lady is "tragic" but only because the evidence suggests that she bored this in with a paperclip while gazing into the mirror.

EPIC FAIL. :(

[The Magistrate]

7. A Clever Faker Would Have, Too, Sir: You Cannot Make A Backwards 'O'....

[EFerrari]

11. LOL

:applause:

[ContinentalOp]

13. It would have been much easier to carve too.

Not to be too gruesome about it, but I'm just saying...

[Tatiana]

24. Exactly. But no one ever accused Republicans of being all that smart. n/t

[EFerrari]

10. No. A right wing nutcase might have carved a "J" but when was the last time

some anti-war Democrat cut someone up to make a political point?

No, of course not.

[ContinentalOp]

12. I mean, it's his LOGO FFS!

In 2004 if you were going to graffiti a reference to Bush, would you write a G? No, of course not, he was known by "W" in the same way that Obama is known by "O".

[EFerrari]

16. We all know his Potentate flag

[ContinentalOp]

21. Lol -nt-

[KayLaw]

15. Heh heh.

It actually took me a minute when I first heard the tale: "B?" Huh? Well, we all do crazy things when we're twenty.

[mallOUf]

17. He wanted to show off his carving skills...NT

OU

[Indenturedebtor]

28. Haha right. In his free time he brands ungelded bulls with toothpicks

Why are there no cuts/scratches around this backwards letter either?

The girl just held still while he slowly scratched a perfect backwards "B" into her face?

[crankychatter]

18. there was no "carving" NO laceration, NO bleeding

I really wish we'd stop using THEIR word

nothin' personal... it's just starting to piss me off seeing this language on our forum

[ContinentalOp]

20. Good point. I changed the OP to "scratched" -nt-

[deadparrot]

19. Didn't she say that the guy saw her McCain bumper sticker, and then returned to carve the B?

And wasn't she walking to the bank? How would he have seen her bumper sticker if she wasn't in the vicinity of her car?

[kestrel91316]

22. You would think so, huh?

[vixengrl]

23. Wow--after reading a bunch of threads, I knew someone had to

have said it--

"B"?

Not "O"?

Not that random letters necessarily make any kind of statement, even if one allegedly "saw her bumper sticker." Nor that violence makes any kind of statement. But the story is dodgy. I don't really think one (I am not up on my mugging etiquette) pauses in the midst of a mugging to make a *statement*. Especially via--scratching a face in a delicate and rounded fashion, in such a way as to not draw blood, and be backwards. And cryptic, if one did not realize one was not referring to bassinets, bonds, bottleflies, or Bacon Bits. All brought to you by the letter "b". Even more so, as one might prefer not to be caught by the police because one was unnecessarily visible and indentifiable. Muggings are generally hurried and statementless affairs. Just sayin'.


(As to "not rounded"--I think a violent carving, etching, or scratching of a letter would be more "slashy" lines--like "Zorro". A "B" would be more like:

|>


You know?)

[ballabosh]

25. You mean like this

<|
<|

[vixengrl]

30. Well, yeah, if upside-down--

or backwards.

Welcome to DU! :hi:

[vixengrl]

31. Trust me to look at post-count--

welcome to DU--belated.

[americanstranger]

27. Well, it's obvious to me...

The attacker must have been a Bob Barr supporter! :rofl:

- as

[Mz Pip]

29. Muggers aren't Obama supporters

They are criminals. If this story is true then I have serious doubts if this creep would even bother to vote. He has nothing to do with Obama.

[demgrrrll]

32. Because an O could be a zero or a random shape, they needed a

B to be definitive, to attach the supposed attack politically.
