Right-wingers using fake picture to race-bait...

There was a murder in Oklahoma, 3 kids killed an Australian baseball player because "they were bored."

Well, some right-wingers like WND and Allen West are circulating this picture of the 3 kids, to race-bait about "black thugs:"



It's obviously faked.

Here's the actual mugshot photos:



That's the actual Michael Jones on the left.
Notice something about him?
That's right. He's white.

DUNCAN, Okla. - With a motive that's both chilling and simple — to break up the boredom of an Oklahoma summer — three teenagers randomly targeted an Australian collegiate baseball player who was attending school in the U.S. and killed him for fun, prosecutors said Tuesday as they charged two of the boys with murder.

two out of three ain't bad.

Actually he looks pretty dark in that mugshot, and since the last picture I saw of the three stooges had the white guy in the middle, my first thought was "what happened to the white guy"?
