Pittsburgh PD Smells a Rat

New info from the Pittsburgh Police Department -- there is a gaping hole in the story of the woman who claims she was attacked because she's a McCain supporter.

The PD has released a statement saying "We have received photos from the ATM machine at the Citizens Bank and the photographs was (sic) verified as NOT being the victim making the transaction."

In other words, the woman who says she was attacked at the ATM machine wasn't there at the time of the alleged attack.

The cops offered new details about her allegations. In addition to the attacker allegedly knocking her to the ground and carving a "B" in her face, she says the attacker "reached under her shirt and fondled her breast."

Cops won't release the results of the polygraph that was just taken. They say they are investigating "several inconsistencies" in her story.

61. If you've ever been punched you'll know that a black eye doesn't magically appear - it develops over a period of days. If that pic was taken within a few hours of the attack there's no way it could have progressed that far...

62. 42. Fox news says if this is a hoax, McCain is done because he will be associated with this racist incident. For Fox to say this is a huge deal. He is done!!! Bring on the vote!!!

He's cooked through and through. LoL! Way to go out with a BANG McBush! I almost feel bad for McCain and then I remember how he ran out the final weeks of his campaign with lies, rascism, lies, stupidity, more racism with a hint of divisiveness and finally more lies. The sad part about all of this is that he actually had a badass legacy, now it will ALL be overshadowed by this horrific campaign. Too bad. :(


OBAMA/BIDEN 08!!

64. Obama is not ready for the White House and our country will suffer greatly if he is elected -- assuming he isn't assasinated soon after election. Just my opinion.

Oh, and Sarah "I attended 6 colleges in 6 years" Palin is ready for the whitehouse???? Give me a break!

65. Of course this type of crap would happen in a battleground state.

I'm curious, are the PA'ers voting early? I'd like to look that up.

I think she'd have been brilliant if she carved an 'H'...after all, the 'H' stands for "Hussein" which is what they want to make everyone remember, and the 'H' also has two-fold symmetry! You can carve it in a mirror and no one would be the wiser.

The claim of sexual assault only makes this charade more despicable.

My concerns are:
The bruises on her face are not raised, and there is no damage to the cheekbone which would receive the brunt of the damage.
The color of the bruises are inconsistent with real attacks.
Her eyes are not blood shot.
The "cut" is cleanly executed. No sign that she was struggling during the event. [Edit, she's now changed her story to claim that she was unconscious, so it could conceivably have been carved while she was knocked out.]

I'm an African American male and I've had false charges against me on at least 3 occasions. It's an ancient phenomenon that goes back to the slave days and like someone said in one of the comments, right up there with Meunchausen's syndrome.

But really this probably hoax isn't even that complex. PA is a battleground state, FOX News already ran the ticker, and regardless of whether this report is a fraud, the damage has been done. Disgusting, reprehensible, but BRILLIANT.

What a sad campaign.

68. Her butt is in trouble BIG TIME! If we all can see the "B" carved the wrong way, I'm sure the police are going to have fun raking her over the coals. That's a dam shame that its's almost 2009 and you have low life like this still pulling this racist crap. I'm just glad she got busted with that lie. Neither candidate needs pubilicty like that...

70. I hope her pathetic lying ass gets prosecuted. The police have real victims out there, and this stupid cow is taking up their time with her lies. I hope TMZ stays with this story, we just found the next Casey Anthony.

Posted at 1:56PM on Oct 24th 2008 by JJ

71. Just as I thought...another faux political hate crime. It figures that McCain and Palin would jump the gun and call her to offer their personal sympathy before fully vetting this pathetic worm's story. Hmmm...inadequate vetting...does anyone else see a pattern here?

Posted at 2:01PM on Oct 24th 2008 by Lawrence in NC

72. i can only hope that someday one of you will face a court trial and the rest of you will be the jury

Posted at 7:50PM on Oct 24th 2008 by getsix

73. What a sick bitch. I hope they charge her with a hate crime.

74. MAN THE DEMOCRATS ARE REALLY SHOWING THEIR TRUE NATURE IN THIS ELECTION. BLAME THE VICTIM! HIDE THE TRUTH! BIASED COPS(IN PITTSBURG I WOULD ASSUME THE POLICE INVOLVED ARE BLACK AND VOTING FOR OBAMA)! DIDN'T THE POLICE SAY THEY HAD NO IDEA WHAT THE B STOOD FOR. HOW DO WE KNOW WHAT HAPPENED? I SURE WOULDN'T CARVE MY FACE UP FOR PUBLICITY, I DON'T THINK ANYBODY IS THAT CRAZY. IT IS WEIRD THAT THE B IS BACKWARDS, WAS THE ATTACKER DSYLEXIC?

Posted at 2:09PM on Oct 24th 2008 by barb

75. HELTER SKELTER!

This is sooo, obviously faked. I can’t believe the gall of this woman. I mean yeah, a backwards B perfectly carved with something that won’t scar, while she was struggling with her attacker? Hey hold perfectly still so I can show off my dyslexia on your face. LOL!

Seriously, this could really turn the Crazies into doing something bad to honest people.

Somebody's got the Susan Smith syndrome. See 1994 Smith case below.

“Smith initially reported to police, on October 25, 1994, that she had been carjacked by a black man who drove away with her sons still in the car. Smith made tearful pleas on television for the rescue and return of her children. A Usenet chain letter circulated in the following days, asking Internet users to be on the lookout for the vehicle. However, nine days later, following an intensive, heavily publicized investigation and a nationwide search, Smith eventually confessed to letting her 1990 Mazda Protegé roll into nearby John D. Long Lake”

Remember when Charlie Manson wanted to start a race war with the Hollywood killings?
