I'm calling bullshit on this

After reading several versions of the story, things just don't add up.

The attacker had a knife, and he scratched the letter "B" into her face. Was it made of plastic? Most knives in the hands of muggers do not leave nice tidy scrapes. Bonus: she refused medical treatment, and police are re-interviewing her today.



I guess her story didn't add up to them either. She was held at knife point at an ATM, and the attacker accepted $60 she had in her pocket. That just doesn't even make sense.

Then, after she had managed to step away, the attacker noticed the bumper sticker on her car and became irate. Really? Was he checking to see if she honks for Jesus?

Also the - naturally - black assailant ran off in an "unknown direction". Sorry, but if you've ever been mugged, you damn well remember which way they ran off.

That's just my gut on this one, and I've been wrong before. If I am here, then I will offer my most sincere apology, but this just doesn't smell right.

"We must not confuse dissent with disloyalty. When the loyal opposition dies, I think the soul of America dies with it."
