Black Woman Attacked And Burnt By 3 White Men For Supporting Obama. by Arrowman(m): 6:09pm On Oct 23, 2012
Moffitt
called 911 about 8 p.m.
and told police she
was attacked and
burned by three men
wearing white T-shirt
hoodies, authorities
said during a news
conference today.

As reported by the
Shreveport Times: Moffitt
is believed to be severely
burned and is being
treated at LSU Hospital in
Shreveport, where
she’s listed in critical
condition.
The FBI is investigating
whether the attack was
a hate crime, Winnsboro
Police Chief Kevin Cobb
said.
Authorities have not
identified, nor made any
arrests in the case as
they haven’t determined
the sequence of events
or whether the attack
was random or planned.
Many in the social media
sphere reported that
Moffitt was wearing an
Obama t-shirt, but those
allegations turned out to
be false.
Police believe Moffitt was
doused in a flammable
liquid and set afire.
Trooper Albert Paxton
said Moffitt, who is in
critical condition, suffered
extensive burns below
her neck on her chest
and back all the way
down to her calves.
Though Cobb admitted
the possibility of the
attack being racially
motivated was unsettling,
they asked for the
community to reserve
judgement.
On Sharmeka’s
Facebook page, it says
she works for ConAgra
Foods, Inc., an American
packaged foods company.
Since the story broke, a
Prayers for Sharmeka
Moffitt page has been
created with over 11,000
supporters.
