Mugshot from 2010 when he would have been 31. LiberalLoner Sep 2013 #8

Sorry, not that many with that name and age and race in US is all. LiberalLoner Sep 2013 #11

Source? AtheistCrusader Sep 2013 #18

Okay, you win, totally is not the guy. LiberalLoner Sep 2013 #19

I didn't say that. AtheistCrusader Sep 2013 #20

Internet search. But I will back off and wait and see. I admitted it was speculation. But LiberalLoner Sep 2013 #24

It seems a likely hypothesis, but AtheistCrusader Sep 2013 #42

Okay you do have a point, I will delete the shot and allow people to google their LiberalLoner Sep 2013 #44

I would think, if that was surely the guy AtheistCrusader Sep 2013 #48

Well, you nailed it. nt MADem Sep 2013 #102

I wish LiberalLoner hadn't self-deleted her reply #1 Lasher Sep 2013 #112

Again, this is rampant speculation that this is the guy. Tommy_Carcetti Sep 2013 #12

Yes, you are right. LiberalLoner Sep 2013 #15

Right, but no confirmation yet (that I know of) that the guy whose picture you posted.... Tommy_Carcetti Sep 2013 #26

Okay I stopped. All I do know for certain is what is posted at this link. LiberalLoner Sep 2013 #34

& that mug shot site is disgusting (why below) rivertext Sep 2013 #61

Yeah, those mugshot sites are a major blackmail racket. Tommy_Carcetti Sep 2013 #63

Not likely, only the guards would see the badges, and this person used that badge only this one day LiberalLoner Sep 2013 #27

Ahh, where are you reading all this? joshcryer Sep 2013 #35

No he is a civilian contractor himself. Am listening to MSNBC news right now but here LiberalLoner Sep 2013 #39

I think the talking heads speculate a lot. joshcryer Sep 2013 #41

He is -- near as I know, I'm not near a television right now--a Navy civilian contractor. MADem Sep 2013 #43
