But he has not limited his multiple rapes to people, but to our entire system of governance.
This is a repeat offender who has never been caught. And is brandishing it to all victims to be.
I really hope that this is it.
In the mean time, I must say, that it traumatized me deeply for many reasons.

I think that for many of us, it feels as though we have been assaulted once again.

(6,633 posts)has seemed to realize that the mug shot might trigger quite a few people in unexpected ways.
It should not be plastered all over the place for that reason.
And I think that those who support the monsterT will find out in the long run, that it was not the best image to be playing around with.
In fact I predict a sea change from it.

(6,633 posts)mug shot had more of the moment before the attack vibe to it for me.
The point of my post is to share a perspective that I have heard from none of the pundits who seem to be taking it as a sort of joke or something.
This mug shot will affect different groups of people differently.
And I am attempting to share that for those who have been attacked by someone in a violent way, his mug shot captures what many an attacker looked like right before.
It is something most people do their best to wipe off their memory card.
Then, here it is, all over the place. On mugs, tshirts and glasses.

(5,191 posts)It happened when he was totally called out on some of his bullshit. Some screaming and put downs ensued but it was a public place so that was all. Later he apologized (which was a first). I think he was only sorry he lost control of his situation and facade. It was the only time I heard him use the word sorry.

(5,191 posts)Angry facial expression/demeanor of a narcissist that has lost control. Hes a fucking angry dangerous person that has angry dangerous cult members who will commit violence for him, much like Jim jones, etc.

(6,633 posts)I wonder how the Capital Police Officers are handling this latest assault. Albeit only visual, so far.

(28,507 posts)He was going for the intimidating, tough guy look.
I think he looks like something out of a badly cast gangster movie.
Tumbulu
(6,633 posts)That he pulled it up out of his personal experiences.
I imagine that any of his many victims might get unwanted memories flashing back.

(27,296 posts)the drumphf mug shot ... I've seen so many photos of him ...and being angry - though more in video than still photos. I do see it as very angry sort of menacing, (hard to explain) seen so much vid the still photo is less effecting on me
But this other guy ...
