Imagine if the attacker had actually been motivated by revenge from Black Lives Matter? We’d have seen the shank-wielder in that case - ad nauseam.

I see an image of the text with yellow highlighting. So it is not an image problem.

Are you seeing the portrait in another tweet? Like a reply or perhaps a tweet that this one follows up? Or did you have to click through the NYT paywall? I only see one tweet when I click the links, because I am not a Xitter member, no replies, not threads, no preceding tweets, no tweeter "home" page.

I do not want to give Elmo any revenue; just costs for serving tweets. I block his ads and cookies.

And what is "The Eme"? Did the other tweets illuminate that?

(Note: I did see the guy's pic by searching elsewhere for news, so I'm okay on that point)

mug showed up for me in the OP. I haven't looked for it elsewhere.
No idea what 'the eme' even is.

So all I see on these Tweet posts is "Link to tweet" blue link text.

If I click on the link, then uBlock Origin warns me that I blocked it. I have to turn off my ad blocker to see any tweet.

Because I don't drink at Nazi bars.

about the perpetrator, Turscak. Given he's been in the system for many years, I have a hard time thinking they had THAT much difficulty finding a mug shot of HIM and the fact they don't identify the discrepancy (that they are showing Chauvin, unidentified) only underscores how horrible the media has become-at least on the local level in some regions.

The OP can't even be bothered to copy the text and images out so those of us who refuse to drink at a Nazi bar can see the misinformation they are spreading.

That is a photo of John Shelby Amos II

The same photo from that bad tweet is here in this news report: https://www.wrbl.com/news/local-news/aflac-board-member/

So far I have yet to find a reliable source for an actual photo of the man who stabbed Chauvin.
