NEW ORLEANS (AP) -- A 20-year-old black woman told police she was set on fire by three men who wrote the initials KKK and a racial slur on her car in northeastern Louisiana.

A horrific attack in Louisiana has left a 20-year-old woman in critical condition after she was allegedly set on fire by three men wearing white hoodies. Sharmeka Moffitt suffered third-degree burns on 60 percent of her body; she'll undergo surgery tomorrow. The attack has rocketed across the Internet since it occurred on Sunday night, particularly because it was rumored that Moffitt's Obama T-shirt may have provoked the assailants. Moffitt was not, however, wearing the shirt when attacked. Police in Winnsboro, La., have confirmed that "KKK" was spray-painted on the hood of her car, along with a racial slur — and the FBI is investigating whether the attack should be classified as a hate crime.
It just seems so BLATANT. White hoodies? KKK spray painted. Obama tshirt yet she wasn't wearing one?
Just seems odd. I hope she makes a full recovery. I can't imagine someone would burn themselves though. :???:

No, but I wouldn't put it past rabid leftists burning a black person to incite racial tensions before the election.

I TRULY hope not.

Which would seem to be reinforced by the whole KKK reference by the thugs who did this, the KKK being the terrorist "action" arm of the Democrat Party for almost 150 years now.

Unfortunately, I have to agree.

"All of the evidence is pointing back to the victim inflicting this upon herself," Thomas said. "No evidence has shown any other person was involved."
Well, now... Ain't that a bitch?

Well, now... Ain't that a bitch?
Why yes. Yes, she is.
Meanwhile, who pays her medical bills? Who takes her to court for inciting a riot? Who holds her accountable?

Mods
Couldn't figure out which forum/topic to post this under.
(This one 'did' seem appropriate)
Please move if needed.
There was this story of a supposed Hate Crime going around yesterday about a woman being set on fire.
(because of an Obama shirt?)
Well, Well .. We now get The Rest Of The Story as Paul Harvey use to say!
Two days after multiple law enforcement agencies began an investigation into the attack and burning of a Winnsboro woman at Civitan Park, authorities now believe the wounds were self-inflicted.

Women set on fire by KKK, police investigating possible hate crime
A Winnsboro, LA woman is hospitalized in critical condition after someone set her on fire.
Sharmeka Moffitt, a woman of African descent...
Not even "African-American" anymore.
Fine. Whatever. Get a residency visa or GTFO.

18. Seriously. Possible? What the **** else could it be?
onenote (20,857 posts)
22. As it turns out, it could be something else
Apparently it was self-inflicted.
I don't understand why people do this shit. Do they ever get away with it?

Woman claims 3 men set her on fire, wrote racial slurs on her car in northeastern Louisiana...

2. Why do I suspect her next statement will be, "I got better."
Xipe Totec (28,625 posts)
4. She's got burns over 50% of her body, some of them 3rd degree.
I honestly did not understand what you meant in your reply.
randome (7,668 posts)
6. Just that these blatantly offensive stories often turn out to not be true.
Maybe it happened the way she says but I remain skeptical until more of an investigation occurs.
As I'm nothing but an Internet poster, I can afford to wait for more information.
Xipe Totec (28,625 posts)
10. Louisiana State Police spokeswoman Lt. Julie Lewis says Sharmeka Moffitt was found with burns
on more than half of her body when police responded to her 911 call Sunday night.
Now, I can understand being skeptical when all you have to go on was the word of the victim.
But this is the Louisiana State Police reporting the extent of her injuries.

17. It's the KKK supposedly leaving their signature on her car that makes me suspicious.
SunSeeker (2,425 posts)
23. I see it as a threat, not a "signature."
I lived in Louisiana. That is one racist state. Not all racists belong to the KKK. But bigots do like to invoke the KKK to intimidate people of color. Whoever scrolled KKK on her car may or may not have been a member of the KKK, but rather did it to intimidate African Americans, just like the idiots who deface Jewish community center walls with swatstikas are not members of the Nazi party, but just do it to imtimidate Jews.
Apparently, Ms. Mofftit is the racist whom you speak of.

yes or no.

44. No.
Shoulda said, "yes."
cstanleytech (4,624 posts)
52. I dont believe randome is doing that at all.
Rather it seems that randome is willing to ask questions and is that really a bad thing?
After all sometimes things are not what they seem like when that one women claimed that a black women threw acid in her face and later it was discovered she lied and did it to herself.
heaven05 (1,009 posts)
54. well
like I said, certain cultural and/or racial certainties are implied in this case, kkk, black victim, so defense of the alleged perpetrators and their apologists is understandable...in this mean, vicious country of hateful ignorance.
How about mean, hateful race-baiters?
Posteritatis (15,218 posts)
72. There's "asking questions" and there's going full hypothetical without reading a thing
Randome saw the headline alone and immediately assumed the victim wasn't injured at all. Pretty much every 'question' and assumption that's been tossed out since then could have been addressed by reading the first paragraph of the initial story, never mind the rest of the article. Hell, even the victim's skin color has been denied at least once in the whole "discussion," despite that being fifth word of the first sentence of the article.
You don't have to outright say "I am calling you a liar" to do that when enough layers of increasingly-convoluted "questions" and implications and misdirections and innocent claims of skepticism (which is a different thing from reflexive rejection) will do the job just as well.
So yes, I do believe that what randome is doing is calling the victim a liar, because the very first thing he said in this thread did just that. That decision isn't waiting for "more information," it was the immediate, kneejerk conclusion reached and settled before even reading the article.
Is it exhausting to expend that much mental energy just to be flat wrong?
Probably not as it is an incessant activity with them.
But you would think.

38. Really?
You're going to invoke Tawana Brawley?
Racism and intolerance always make me sick. But when I see these little clues dropped by posters on DEMOCRATIC Underground, it makes me feel like someone has punched me in the stomach.
Thanks for punching me, asshole.
Better to be punched in the stomach than shoot yourself in the foot.
randome (7,668 posts)
42. Huh? 'Clues'?
No clues dropped nor implications intended. I said I'm suspicious when something this blatantly racist occurs. That doesn't mean I discount it and it doesn't mean I wholeheartedly believe everything I read, either.

61. Although I'm quite certain you didn't discount the possibility that it may have happened...
I imagine your suspicions were greatly raised when a black man in Jasper, Texas was dragged to his death in the summer of '98. Although I'm quite certain you didn't discount the possibility that it may have happened...
randome (7,668 posts)
63. So you're accusing me of being racist because I don't believe everything I read?
Especially an article with sketchy details like this one?
Maybe it happened as the article implies, maybe it didn't. Why make any assumptions?
heaven05 (1,009 posts)
51. some
people will defend other vicious people because of cultural and/or racial certainties being implied. I'm not surprised by the ones stating it might be a drive by burning or faked. Nothing surprises me much anymore.
I doubt you'll be surprised by the depths of your own stupidity, weakness and race-mongering.
You're just not that self-aware.

29. Those f*cking neo-Nazi savages belong in prison
It's sickening that this sort of thuggery still happens in the U.S.
The perpetrator belongs in prison regardless of whatever adjectives eventually accompany the booking report.
But I'm guessing you'll give her a mulligan on her racist attack because she's black and the targets were white.

80. For what it's worth to anyone...
...I don't consider myself 'right' about any of this. I just pointed out a couple of things that made me suspicious.
No apologies. No vindication. Let's just move on to the next argument...er, discussion.

82. I think you're being damned gracious and I further think
that the people that jumped all over you and called you the worst kind of racist have behaved despicably in this thread. Disgusting.
meh
You get used to it.
randome (7,668 posts)
85. I'm betting they learned something as well as I did.
It's all good.
Now you're wrong.
It's not good.
It's being used to silence dissent and criminalize free and decent people.
Xipe Totec (28,625 posts)
86. I certainly did learn something - Thanks
I should have cut you more slack, and waited for the follow up reports from the authorities.
Having said that, and recognizing that your words did raise doubts about the incident, there were two separate lines of skepticism raised.
One, that the injuries were exaggerated.
Two, alternatively, that the injuries were self-inflicted.
The first turned out to be false, the second true.
I'm glad you're still here, because minds that are not easily influenced by peer pressure are rare.
Despite the mention of Brawley and the other hoaxes.
So what you're saying is: It won't ever happen again...
...until the next time.
Especially if it's politically convenient.

I thought tha tthis might have been another false report and as it turned out it was. I was loooking to see how fast Rev Al was going to make a beeline to the victim and for once he didn't.

SGT already grabbed the DUmp posts, they fall for it every time. Guess this Obot screwed up while trying to set fire to her car, only question I have left is if she acted alone, or had accomplises.

I think its funny that when it comes out to be fake they never get upset at the faker :???: they twist it to bring in actual cases..........like "Well, it did happen one time so I am going to run with this"

Right on Gina. I was thinking the same thing. Like the one who talked about the assumption of cultural certainties. Umm you mean like your 'cultural and political' propensity to defend any black person selling you a racist shtick? So it matters not that it's true; just that she reminded us oh not so fair martyr that there are racists somewhere and they would have done this to me I'd they coulda.
Of they want to be angry at anyone how about at the blacks who do this and flurry to incite racial hatred? To me that's as huge an attempt to slander a whole culture and race as when whites of yore painted the whole race suspect of any recent crime based on skin color. It's slanderous pure and simple and meant to incite hatred, fear, and doubt Du, if they really believed what they preached, would be disgusted by this.

Ugh phone typing:(

They always blame it on some mental illness of the faker, but never consider it was the persons own racism that made them do it.

A case of stupidity so bad it burns....literally....and for a long time.

I would like to see the woman who did this charged with a hate crime.
I don't think the added designation of hate crime is necessary, but since we have it, let it be used both ways.

Gina tell you the facts, were I to walk into my shower and find this,I would have no idea what to do.
Do you turn off the water, drag the man out, strip off his clothes and throw him into bed and cover with warm blankets. ???
Darn you Gina, shame on you for awaking my libido to think of thing of the other alternatives. I may be old but the body is still fit, so a paper bag over my head may give me a last time in life a thing to remember with a smile when I hit 80 years old.
Big mystery as to why grandma has that smile on her face.
