Blinn College Student Ashley Todd Supposedly Mugged For Being McCain Supporter

Blinn College Student Ashley Todd Supposedly Mugged For Being McCain Supporter

UPDATE: Police sources have said that Todd admitted to making up the story that a mugger attacked her due to a McCain bumper sticker on her car. After some inconsistencies in her story emerged, police administered a polygraph test, though the results have not been released. Todd will face some sort of charges thanks to these antics.

 

Ashley Todd, a student at Blinn College, claims that Wednesday night she was attacked at knifepoint in Pittsburgh, and that it somehow had to do with a McCain sticker on her car. The mugger, obviously an Obama supporter, robbed Todd and then carved a “B” in her face. I suppose we are to believe this “B” is for Barack? Or perhaps bullshit, much like the story itself.
 

Perhaps the 20-year-old from College Station, Texas (shout out to Texas A&M!), did suffer through a brutal attack, and maybe, just maybe, it was spurred on by her love of McCain. But, then again, there are some reasons to believe something is off about the whole tale. The AP reports:

Todd told police she was withdrawing money just before 9 p.m. Wednesday when a man approached her from behind, put a knife to her neck and demanded money, police said. She said she gave him $60.

The robber then noticed the bumper sticker, punched her in the back of the head, knocked her down and used the knife to carve a "B" on the right side of her face, the woman told police.

It turns out that “B” on her cheek is backwards. Hmm, how could that happen? I mean unless it was done in the mirror, not that I’m suggesting anything. Oh, and the woman declined medical treatment, so it must not have been a deep cut. Glad the mugger was so considerate as to keep the wound superficial and clean, while he was busy beating the shit out of the rest of her.
 

Then again, the story, as bizarre as it is, may be true, in which case Ashley Todd deserves sympathy and justice for this horrible crime. If it’s not true, though, you have to wonder what kind of person would maim herself all in the name of love for John McCain… well, except for Cindy McCain, but that’s just called plastic surgery.

So she scaratched a 'B', that may scar her, and made the story up. Seems like a hate crime towards a white woman. Posted 10/24/2008 09:44 AMReply

She posted about looking for the ATM to her Twitter account *AFTER* the crime was supposed to have occurred. She's a liar and not a very good one. Posted 10/24/2008 09:53 AMReply

I can't believe how hateful people are. Obviously this
woman was attacked by someone. If the B would have
been spelled wrong would they then believe it was an
attack by a black mugger?

We see this kind of injury in the psychiatric emergency room when someone has scratched themselves while looking in the mirror. The color of the bruise around her eye suggests injury older than date of supposed crime. Something else likely happened to this girl. Posted 10/24/2008 09:59 AMReply

She didn't necessarily have to have looked in a mirror... While you're sitting there reading this, write a B on your face. You'll likely write it the same way, because it's not backwards from your perspective.

I wonder what her reaction was to the first person who told her it was backwards....

But she stated he sat on her chest when he did it... why would he write the B upside-down?

Pittsburgh Gazette has reported that the young woman's story has changed twice already and that the details of the attack and her timeline are very very suspicious.

I do feel this poor girl was indeed attacked and angry, and scratched the B into her face in the mirror. It is backwards, it is well-shaped (Have you ever tried carving with a knife, you never get good curves, you get sharp lines), it is not deep at all (evidently the crook used a butter knife?).

More than a few have said that the area of the mugging is very busy and well-lit. This certainly could have happened and my sympathies to this woman if it is true, but it requires more than a few leaps of faith. Refusing medical attention, taking a while to support the crime, the oddly political nature of the attacker (If the attacker was black and saw the McCain sticker, I would dare say that the attack was more racially motivated- saying "Goshdarnit, You're one of those McCain people?" doesn't seem like the kind of outburst one would expect).
Lastly, she posts on her Twitter account something to the effect of "I have to go look for a bank of America ATM now" which is the setup for why she was attacked and where she was- the problem is she posts this AFTER the attack supposedly took place.

Obviously either black powder, or several days old, to be black -- and NO SWELLING. The backward B was probably done in a mirror -- and very carefully at that, no rips or cuts. Diehard Republicans are sure to buy it, including her phony posts alibiing why she was out looking for an ATM, but otherwise her 15 minutes of fame are going to turn into a lifetime or regret over a dishonest, and shameful attempt to blame some unknown black guy for scratching a backward B on her face.

Yea sure he scrached a backwards b on her face. What really happend is she did it to herself in the mirror and did not accout that reflection makes letters backwards. Yea a robber who has the cash in his hand is going to waste his time to talk about politics.Bull S**t! thats why she refused medical treatment the Dr. would have figured out she did it to herself. A verey dull knife Bull S**t a very dull knife still would have broke the skin a paper clip would have brokebroke the skin. this is just a crasy 20 year old girl that is a racist and wants to paint Obama people as crimnals.

I agree on this, if it was a black lady, everybody would believe it to be a hate crime. Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton would be all over the news promoting justice for this.

Maybe the mugger was channeling Leonard DaVinci, he wrote everything left handed and backwards so you had to read it in a mirror. Or maybe she'd right handed and wrote it while looking into a mirror. Which is more likely? Posted 10/24/2008 10:17 AMReply

A note to the n- word using racists: Hitler lost. Robert E. Lee lost. The legacy of your defeats is shame, your swastikas and confederate flags are emblems of weakness, blind arrogance, and insanity. You are just making things hard for the rest of us real, truly human whites with intelligence, a conscience, and a recognition of how we essentially share the same mortal existential predicament as every other race of people in the world. We are ashamed to be even accidentally racially associated with you all. I wonder if you have the sheer audacity to call yourselves Christians. Posted 10/24/2008 11:01 AMReply

Assault? Hoax? Whatever happened to this woman is horrendous, although it seems the story is still developing and not all the facts are in. Pittsburgh police stated today that "we have learned that the victim's statement has a few inconsistencies in it and her statement has changed."

But a double standard is evident based on the amount of coverage this incident is getting.

Compare it with how little attention has been paid to a recent wave of politically-motivated, violent acts perpetrated by McCain-Palin supporters:

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/erik-ose/mccain-and-palin-inciting_b_137035.html

The crucial difference is that Obama and Biden are not traveling the country stirring up hatred among their supporters that would incite violence, while McCain and Palin clearly are.

To everyone:
Would you change your vote, if she was telling the truth; or if she was telling a lie; or if it was a white man and a black woman; or if it was a black man and a white woman? Of course not; nobody is going to change their vote. I'm seeing alot of hateful people calling names, showing how out of control they feel their life is. No candidate can save us from our own fear, hate, greed, or lack of self-control. Both of these candidates are a direct reflection of us as a society. We are better than this! This article is designed to foment your hatred. We are Americans! Don't let this happen to you/us.

About all we can say right now is "We don't know."
It's sort of sickening reading all the doubters/believers who leap from one conclusion to the next. You can almost see the spittle flying as they get all angried-up over something that may/may not have happened. People sure seem in a hurry to think the worst of somebody. If it happened as reported, it doesn't prove anything about the rest of us. If it didn't happen it also doesn't prove anything about the rest of us. The insults and invective flying in both directions are much more revealing about the rest of us.

I can't believe how many people are dumb enough to believe this story. Simply amazing. 90% of the commenters don't believe the story, and that's understandable. Who are these retards who actually think this biased McCain activist is telling the truth? This is typical of the average McCain adherent. I'd still vote Obama even if the story was true.

@ Anonymous: Yeah. She was attacked by herself. Ever been beat up? Punched in the eye? I have. My eye was filled with blood -- like, the white part was bloody under the surface -- not to mention swollen almost shut. Nobody hit this girl in the eye. She did something to her face, put black eye shadow on herself, and made up a wild story for unknown reasons. Let's not say bad things about this poor right-wing lug nut; let's pray for her, shall we? Posted 10/24/2008 1:42 PMReply

Ashley now admits to police that she made the whole thing up.

As always, most liberals were awfully quick to assume she was lying and blaming a possible victim before they knew the story and most conservatives were way too fast in calling for the dogs to track down this 'black assailant' and throwing the racial sh!t at Obama before any facts even came out.

Ms. Todd obviously needs some psyciatric help, and hopefully she'll get it. I'll be supporting Obama, but regardless of the election outcome, this country really needs to do some soul searching and calm the fu<k down. There's enough people out in the rest of the world that want us dead, we don't need to keep attacking eachother.

Contrary to assumptions made based on reports that Ashley Todd was going to school in College Station, TX, she was NOT a student at Texas A&M. According to what she wrote on some blogs prior to the bogus police report, she was going to Blinn College in Bryan, TX, which is a community college right near A&M. I am relieved to find that Ashley Todd is NOT an aggie. Posted 10/24/2008 7:03 PMReply
