Why that McCain volunteer’s “mutilation” story smells awfully weird
She refused medical treatment after reporting the incident to police. Why on earth would she do that?
Look at her face -
What’s wrong with the “B?”
I share my reader Kathy’s suspicions on this. She writes:
Notice how the “B” is backwards on the right cheek……if you were looking in a mirror and put it on your own face…it would appear backwards and would probably be on your own right cheek (due to most folks are right handed)……she put it on her own face but forgot it would show up backwards.
She may have been robbed and beaten but I think she added the “B”….
And from a reader who is a police officer:
“I’m a cop - 8th year now - and this McCain supporter attack just didn’t pass the “smell test” as soon as I read about it. At this point, I’ll guess the shiner was inflicted either by a friend willingly as part of this hoax or a boyfriend in a domestic dispute.
The “B” is far to shallow and clean to be taken seriously. Reminds me of the stab wounds that a “hero” would get when fighting off a phantom attacker - far to superficial to have been done in what is a fairly violent encounter.
Either way, I’m voting McCain

Richard said the woman refused medical treatment after the assault, which happened outside the view of the bank's surveillance cameras.
Ok, so it is not too uncommon for something to happen out of camera view, since they are still cams designed to catch what is happening at the ATM, but why would she refuse medical attention? Does being carved up like a Christmas goose not warrant medical treatment? "A little peroxide and a bandaid and I will be good as new."
This is just too distorted to call for me.
Or maybe he hit her so hard he knocked her out! or she was in state of shock!!

why does that letter look backwards? like someone did it while looking at their reflection. the report also states she refused medical treatment. why?
if this is true, the a**hole should be punished accordingly.
but, if this proves to be a fabrication/stunt to create controversy, then the young lady should be punished.
OMG you are smart! I was wondering why it looked like and "E" so why would the supposed mugger carve it backwards? The supposed mugger would have to be above her head so she may have been on the ground but sitting still for it? There must have been two muggers but I guess he could have held her down with one hand on her face while he carved the "B".

I doubt this has anything to do with politics. The guy is a violent criminal. I doubt he represents 99.95% of the actual Obama supporters. I'm certain there are nutcases who support McCain, to. What does that have to do with the price of tea in China? Not a thing.

I agree. It seems way too convenient the way this thing supposedly went down.
Was this not supposedly done in broad daylight? On what city street can two (had to be more than one) male assailants assault, hold down and carve up the face of a young woman without drawing SOMEONES attention?
Even if nobody intervened, someone would at least have called 911. People arent completely cold hearted, do you really think passersby and pedestrians would just walk by something like that without even noticing?
Where are the witnesses? Why would someone who was just beaten up and apparently carved with a knife going to refuse medical treatment? If for no other reason than to properly document the wounds for police matters were they to catch the assailant.
She wouldnt have known where that knife had been. How would anyone with one bit of self interest decline medical treatment or at the very least tests for Hepatitis, HIV, infection, anything.
They wouldnt. This woman is a liar.
