Do photos speak words? Is Jared crazy or just a racist?

A recent pic of Jared Loughner on the CBC News website.

Questions...
1) Why would Jared have a clenched fist in this pic? Was he holding a lighter, an invisible Martini, or a tiny witto feild mouse?

2) Why is that fist so conveniently positioned and placed in the direction of the young, sharply dresses, Asian people, below his right arm in the distance? Was it a jab, per say, to the unknowingly photographed individuals? Or was it coincidence? If the people noted in background of this pic are not questioned, the police are not doing their job are they?

I think you're grasping at straws with this one. he likely had no Idea those people were even there. what evidence Is there of him being racist?

Somebody throw me a bone here.

Hi Preybird,

Good find. My immediate thought or impression upon looking at the photo was that something was photo-shopped out of his hand, though people *do* do (doodoo!! lol) funny things with their bodies, so I suppose its not inconceivable that he held his fist like that for some reason. The lighting on the name tag seems funny to me as well, but I doubt if they would be so careless (I'd hope anyway, lol) when/if altering such a vital component of the photo. That said, this is all coming from me, and I don't know enough to say if it *actually* shows evidence of tampering, lol. So the above is all just opinion and imagination at this point =( Though that's often a good start to figuring out mysteries of various sorts

Thats my 2 cents!

Sorry... Should maybe ask instead, does his gesture indicate possible racial tendencies? Is that better? Remember, I am asking a question, not making a statement ya?

Why are you looking for something that isnt there? Really, why are you going to the lowest common denominator? Racism?

Come on.

ETA - What type of racial tendencies are you hoping someone comes along with? What the hell are racial tendencies? Like, he is white, so he probably likes mayonnaise and cant dance well?

youre not serious are you? its a very normal pic, i doubt either of the partys mentioned are even aware of the others presence.
yes, id guess he's holding a lighter or something, not making subliminal racist gestures.

Definitely grasping at straws. He was at the Tucson Festival of Books; standing at a tent. Do you think there's ANY chance that he might have had some money in his hand to purchase a book?

Well, in response to the racist gesture idea, I would say that is impossible to tell. The racist people I've met are more blatant/proud of their feelings and would make it clear what they were getting at if they were getting at anything, lol.

Besides, you asked for people's 2 cents, and I gave it to you! So nanny nanny pooh pooh!! (ok, 4 cents now lol)

There is no link to such a photo in your post. Do you have another?

Yes... Possible money in his hand is yet another answer to question #1. Good defense. Anyone else? Without leading the readers to think that a white person is deemed a racist. Color wasn't an issue in question here. Was it?

Interesting to note that the little girl who was murdered was born on Sept 11 2001....

This.

There is no such photo in the link you provided.

Please update.

I see no evidence to support this Jared guy was "racist" in any way. Why would one think this at all? I'm not seeing anything to tell this. I am thinking he was just unbalanced and probably on psych meds.

Oh... Another question.
Why would CBC post this pic in particular when it was an article about "Obama Leading a Moment of Silence for Shooting Victims". What was the goal in choosing this photo?

Ughhh! Another link has replaced the one I submitted. Sorry. I should have known better. Anyway... The picture, I assume is of public knowledge. Maybe someone has a copy of the source photo. If so, please post, to continue this thread. Thanks to anyone who finds it.
