Woman Robbed, Attacked With Knife At Bloomfield ATM

PITTSBURGH -- A 20-year-old woman who was robbed at an ATM in Bloomfield was also maimed by her attacker, apparently because of her political views, police said.

According to WTAE's news exchange partners the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review Ashley Todd, of College Station, Texas, was using an ATM at Liberty Avenue and Pearl Street in Bloomfield just before 9 p.m. on Wednesday when a man approached her and put a knife to her throat.

Police spokeswoman Diane Richard said the robber took $60 from Todd, then became angry when he saw a McCain bumper sticker on the victim's car. The attacker then punched and kicked the victim, before using the knife to scratch the letter "B" into her face, Richard said.

The Tribune reported that Todd, who isn't familiar with the area, drove to a friend's house and together the pair located the Citizens Bank ATM at Liberty and Pearl where the attack happened and called police.

Todd declined to comment to the Tribune. Friends said she is in Pittsburgh volunteering for the McCain-Palin campaign.

Richard said the woman refused medical treatment after the assault, which happened outside the view of the bank's surveillance cameras.

The robber is described as a dark-skinned black man, 6 feet 4 inches tall, 200 pounds with a medium build, short black hair and brown eyes. The man was wearing dark colored jeans, a black undershirt and black shoes.

The Obama-Biden campaign released a statement, commenting on the attack. The statement said "Our thoughts and prayers are with the young woman for her to make a speedy recovery, and we hope that the person who perpetrated this crime is swiftly apprehended and brought to justice."

The McCain-Palin campaign also released a statement saying "The McCain campaign is aware of the incident involving one of its volunteers. Out of respect, the campaign won't be commenting. The campaign also confirms that Senator McCain and Governor Palin have both spoken to the woman."

I want more investigation and evidence found before I decide whether to beleive this or not.

[Brassmask]

Why would they be "Brass' riots"?

[sirs]

Weren't you the one referring to possible riots?

[Brassmask]

I was referring to the possibility of riots in the event of an Obama loss after being way up in the polls going into election day.

[richpo64]

You weren't referring to "possible" riots. You said there should be riots if Obama loses.

You of course will not be participating.

[sirs]

I was referring to the possibility of riots in the event of an Obama loss after being way up in the polls going into election day.

Perhaps, if the story is true, this fella thought Obama wasn't high enough in the polls, and that this lady was specfically involved in the racist effort to keep him from becoming President.  Just speculating of course

As predicted, poor girl is just simply disturbed.

A Pittsburgh police commander told KDKA Investigator Marty Griffin that Ashley Todd confessed to making up the story & is facing charges
PITTSBURGH (KDKA) ? Police sources tell KDKA that a campaign worker has now confessed to making up a story that a mugger attacked her and cut the letter "B" in her face after seeing her McCain bumper sticker.

Ashley Todd, 20, of Texas, initially told police that she was robbed at an ATM in Bloomfield and that the suspect became enraged and started beating her after seeing her GOP sticker on her car.

Police investigating the alleged attack, however, began to notice some inconsistencies in her story and administered a polygraph test.

Authorities, however, declined to release the results of that test.

Investigators did say that they received photos from the ATM machine and "the photographs were verified as not being the victim making the transaction."

This afternoon, a Pittsburgh police commander told KDKA Investigator Marty Griffin that Todd confessed to making up the story.

The commander added that Todd will face charges; but police have not commented on what those charges will be.   

According to police, investigators working on the interview process detected several inconsistencies in Todd's story that differed from statements made in the original police report.

Pittsburgh Police Public Information Officer Diane Richard released a statement earlier today, saying: "Because of the inconsistencies in her statements, Ms. Todd was asked to submit to a polygraph examination which she agreed to do."

No photos of Todd are being released by Pittsburgh Police at this time.

The investigation is continuing as officials determine what charges will be filed.

Yep, she definately needs some help

[Plane]

As predicted, poor girl is just simply disturbed.

Man,...
that is sad.

Lock her up.

[Xavier_Onassis]

I doubt that what she needs is to be locked up. This is some sort of demented cry for attention.

I doubt that what she needs is to be locked up. This is some sort of demented cry for attention.

That isn't what she needs at all, it is what we need.

She needs treatment related to Munchausens syndrome , our election process and our very society needs her out of our hair.

If she were more skillfull and intelligent shecould have been the cause of real violence , or perhaps extremes of wasted hatred.

Sharon Smith and Tawana Brawley both tried to use racism by stirring racism , who knows how many times a false accusation has jailed an innocent or caused a lynching?

The old testiment punishment of a false accusation was application of the punishment due to the crime in the accusation , I like that concept. The false accusation of a mugging should be considered to be just and exactly as seriuous a crime as the mugging itself.

Big news just hit the fan for McCain. I knew this was a bogus story when it came out that she refused medical treatment for her wounds. I've been through enough these last few years and know the pain would have been incredible and anyone of us would have begged for a doctor immediately. Well, it looks like the McCain campaign has their fingers all over this phony volunteer attack story and that's big trouble for him.

    John McCain's Pennsylvania communications director told reporters in the state an incendiary version of the hoax story about the attack on a McCain volunteer well before the facts of the case were known or established -- and even told reporters outright that the "B" carved into the victim's cheek stood for "Barack," according to multiple sources familiar with the discussions.

    John Verrilli, the news director for KDKA in Pittsburgh, told TPM Election Central that McCain's Pennsylvania campaign communications director gave one of his reporters a detailed version of the attack that included a claim that the alleged attacker said, "You're with the McCain campaign? I'm going to teach you a lesson." Verrilli also told TPM that the McCain spokesperson had claimed that the "B" stood for Barack. According to Verrilli, the spokesperson also told KDKA that Sarah Palin had called the victim of the alleged attack, who has since admitted the story was a hoax...read on

This should hurt McCain severely. As FOX's Executive VP, John Moody said:

    If the incident turns out to be a hoax, Senator McCain’s quest for the presidency is over, forever linked to race-baiting.

    For Pittsburgh, a city that has done so much to shape American history over the centuries, another moment of truth is at hand.

Bozell's operation ran with it and attacked the media. "Obama Supporter Maims McCain Volunteer, Will Media Care?"
Now I ask the question. Since McCain's camp was involved in trying to promote this race baiting attack story against Obama, will the media care? Let's hope so.

This time the B is for bogus.

That B being backwards means she did not havean attacker also that she did not have a helper , right?

[Xavier_Onassis]

That B being backwards means she did not have an attacker also that she did not have a helper , right?

It also means that she was somehow unaware that a B i the mirror would be reversed when not in the mirror, which is not too hard to realize. I think most people know how mirrors work.
