what a terrible world we live in where the local media outlets try to keep profane words away from little children who may be reading/watching the news…. can’t imagine too many things worse than that…..

good to know there are some resident gangsters here reading the Guardian.

Maybe he’s trying to go clean and getting the tat’s erased, hence the faded colors…

I always like the ‘resisting’ mugshots

Is no one curious about the crown tattoo on his chin?

While they were at it, they should’ve done a bit of “OJ darkening,” to make him look a bit more sinister. (I get the feeling Mr. Anderson would appreciate any effort to make him look more sinister.)

Channel 2 is no stranger to messing with images. A year or so in Meridian they were “on scene” while the police blocked off several blocks near downtown to arrest a guy barricaded in his house. The SWAT team showed up and 2 blurred the faces of the police officers. In uniform. Interestingly another guy in the house was arrested by just waiting until he left the house to go somewhere.

It doesn’t say “F- off” it says “F- Folks,” reference the gang rivalry between the Folk and People Nations (prominent Midwest gangs). The crown on his chin is a common People Nation symbol.

Shoogi: it’s the defendent’s RIGHT eye with the “F%#*”

It is on OUR left when we look at the photo. Editor is correct.

ya Dave I got out a magnifying glass and could read it… I wonder what your headline would have bee if they had not blurred it and the word (F#%&) was on TV… I will bet the word (F#%&) does not appear in this post.

EDITOR NOTE–you are correct. It did appear in the picture, but not gratuitously from you. We don’t want to see your tats either.

At least he’s working with a world-class tattoo artist, huh? /sarcasm

(One must assume he was under the influence of XXX when he said to the guy, “I want you to put “Fu%# Off” above my eyebrows. And while you’re at it, how about a crown on my chin? Yeah, that’s the ticket.”)

I have seen him around town. It says “F%#*” over his left eye, and “OFF” over his right eye.
