This is fucked.
Do you have a legitimate link to this story? If it's true did this just happen? I live in Pittsburgh and I am a news junkie, local and national. I haven't seen this story anywhere. Not saying it's not true, I just think I would have heard of it.
welcome to the rest of the world....happens all the time.
Scary shit.
Well we are not some third world nation where dictators chop your arm off because you voted for the wrong guy.
I agree, but in the past 8 years, we seem to have been inching much closer.

there are crazy people in the world
This is what I found so far. The lady was at an ATM, was allegedly robbed, punched, kicked, and cut by a knife. Allegedly the guy cut a 'B' into her face for some reason. Could that be B for Bloods the gang? Apparently she had a McCain bumper sticker on her car but who knows if that has anything to do with her being robbed and cut. Sounds like something a loser in a gang would do. Either way hopefully they find that fucking loser psycho piece of shit. If that was my family, what he did to her would be nothing compared to what I would do to him. Fucking garbage scum. Makes me want to move the fuck out of the Pittsburgh area.
This guy was just twisted...end of story. The OP should be ashamed for making that thread title. The girl wasn't attacked because she supports McCain...she was attacked because she was getting money from an ATM.
O yea...go Obam0rz and stuff....his sperm cures cancer ya know :rolleyes:
Great... now it will be on talk radio for the next two weeks as an example of how violent and crazy Obama supporters are.
And according to the pittsburghchannel article, the Drudge line and the title of this threat are terrible exaggerated.
Being "scratch" with a knife, and turning down medical attention does not seem to equal "mutilated" and "carved".
Anyway, this attacker needs caught and beaten.
was like a picture

Well I would hope that they report it as the isolated incident that it is and not try to pin this somehow on left-wing radical ideology.
This shit is really getting scary. We are supposed to be progressing here; no matter what side you are on. These acts of horrific violence are uacceptable.
And this morning, the 405 freeway was shut down because a fire was burning by the Getty Center. The majority of residents who were evacuated -- Obama supporters. Arson is not being ruled out. (I think it may have been a McCain supporter).

Honestly, this story is ridiculous. I feel bad for the victim, but to politicize this?
PITTSBURGH (KDKA) ― Police are investigating after a local woman working at a campaign call center says she was attacked by a suspect who became enraged after seeing a McCain bumper sticker on her car.
According to police, the 20-year-old woman said she was mugged at an ATM in the Bloomfield area around 9pm last night after leaving a Republican phone bank.
The woman told police that the suspect, described only as a dark-skinned African-American man about 6'4", stole $60 from her and became enraged after seeing a bumper sticker supporting Republican Presidential Candidate John McCain on her car.
The woman said the suspect punched and kicked her.

LOL!!!
That's what I thought as soon as I opened this thread and read the "news" and looked up a few articles on Google...
She may have been but she was not attacked because of her political affiliation. She was attacked because she was at an ATM. The mugger scratched the B into her face after he saw the bumper sticker. I'm in no way defending his actions because they are fucking disgusting, but the thread title implies that she was attacked because she was a McCain supporter.
And I'm hoping there's not a "retaliation."
I'm hoping our country can get through this moment peaceful and relatively unscathed. We have a great opportunity for the country to either let a black man win or lose for the first time peacefully. I hope we don't collectively fail that test.
Barrack?

Police departments in cities across the country are beefing up their ranks for Election Day, preparing for possible civil unrest and riots after the historic presidential contest.
Public safety officials said in interviews with The Hill that the election, which will end with either the nation’s first black president or its first female vice president, demanded a stronger police presence.
Some worry that if Barack Obama loses and there is suspicion of foul play in the election, violence could ensue in cities with large black populations. Others based the need for enhanced patrols on past riots in urban areas (following professional sports events) and also on Internet rumors.
Democratic strategists and advocates for black voters say they understand officers wanting to keep the peace, but caution that excessive police presence could intimidate voters.
Sen. Obama (Ill.), the Democratic nominee for president, has seen his lead over rival Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) grow in recent weeks, prompting speculation that there could be a violent backlash if he loses unexpectedly.
Cities that have suffered unrest before, such as Detroit, Chicago, Oakland and Philadelphia, will have extra police deployed.
In Oakland, the police will deploy extra units trained in riot control, as well as extra traffic police, and even put SWAT teams on standby.
“Are we anticipating it will be a riot situation? No. But will we be prepared if it goes awry? Yes,” said Jeff Thomason, spokesman for the Oakland Police Department.
“I think it is a big deal — you got an African-American running and [a] woman running,” he added, in reference to Obama and GOP vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin. “Whoever wins it, it will be a national event. We will have more officers on the street in anticipation that things may go south.”
The Oakland police last faced big riots in 2003 when the Raiders lost to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the Super Bowl. Officials are bracing themselves in case residents of Oakland take Obama’s loss badly.
Political observers such as Hilary Shelton and James Carville fear that record voter turnout could overload polling places on Election Day and could raise tension levels.
Shelton, the director of the NAACP’s Washington bureau, said inadequate voting facilities is a bigger problem in poor communities with large numbers of minorities.
“What are local election officials doing to prepare for what people think will be record turnout at the polls?” said Shelton, who added that during the 2004 election in Ohio voters in predominantly black communities had to wait in line six to eight hours to vote.
“On Election Day, if this continues, you may have some tempers flare; we should be prepared to deal with that but do it without intimidation,” said Shelton, who added that police have to be able to maintain order at polling stations without scaring voters, especially immigrants from “police states.”
Carville, who served as a senior political adviser to former President Bill Clinton, said that many Democrats would be very angry if Obama loses. He noted that many Democrats were upset by Sen. John Kerry’s (D-Mass.) loss to President Bush in the 2004 election, when some Democrats made allegations of vote manipulation in Ohio, the state that ultimately decided the race.
Experts estimated that thousands of voters did not vote in Ohio because of poor preparation and long lines. Carville said Democratic anger in 2004 “would be very small to what would happen in 2008” if the same problems arose.
Carville said earlier this month that “it would be very, very, very dramatic out there” if Obama lost, a statement some commentators interpreted as predicting riots. In an interview Tuesday, however, Carville said he did not explicitly predict rioting.
“A lot of Democrats would have a great deal of angst and anger,” said Carville, who predicted that on Election Day “the voting system all around the country is going to be very stressed because there’s going to be enormous turnout.”
Other commentators have made such bold predictions.
“If [Obama] is elected, like with sports championships, people may go out and riot,” said Bob Parks, an online columnist and black Republican candidate for state representative in Massachusetts. “If Barack Obama loses there will be another large group of people who will assume the election was stolen from him….. This will be an opportunity for people who want to commit mischief.”
Speculation about Election-Day violence has spread on the Internet, especially on right-wing websites.
This has caught the attention of police departments in cities such as Cincinnati, which saw race riots in 2001 after police shot a young black man.
“We’ve seen it on the Internet and we’ve heard that there could be civil unrest depending on the outcome of [the election,]” said Lt. Mark Briede of the Cincinnati Police Department. “We are prepared to respond in the case of some sort of unrest or some sort of incident.”
Briede, like other police officials interviewed, declined to elaborate on plans for Election Day. Many police departments have policies prohibiting public discussion of security plans.
James Tate, second deputy chief of Detroit’s police department, said extra manpower would be assigned to duty on Election Night. He said problems could flare whichever candidate wins.
“Either party will make history and we want to prepare for celebrations that will be on a larger scale than for our sports teams,” Tate said.
He noted that police had to control rioters who overturned cars after the Tigers won the 1984 World Series.
“We’re prepared for the best-case scenario, we’re prepared for the worst-case scenario,” he said. “The worst-case scenario could be a situation that requires law enforcement.”
But Tate declined to describe what the worst-case scenario might look like, speaking gingerly like other police officials who are wary of implying that black voters are more likely than other voting groups to cause trouble.
Shelton, of the NAACP, said he understands the need for police to maintain order. But he is also concerned that some political partisans may point their finger at black voters as potential troublemakers because the Democratic nominee is black.
Shelton said any racial or ethnic group would get angry if they felt disenfranchised because of voting irregularities.
Police officials in Chicago, where Obama will hold a Nov. 4 rally, and Philadelphia are also preparing for Election Day.
“The Chicago Police Department has been meeting regularly to coordinate our safety and security plans and will deploy our resources accordingly,” said Monique Bond, of the Chicago Police Department.
Frank Vanore, of the Philadelphia Police Department, said officials were planning to mobilize to control exuberant or perhaps angry demonstrations after the World Series, which pits the Phillies against the Tampa Bay Rays.
He said the boosted police activity would “spill right over to the election.”
