Thread: We need fast research help on this explosive picture

Friends,

We need fast research help on this picture.

http://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/phot ... 8&comments

some are claiming is is photo shopped. I am being told this picture is from the May 1 immigration protests in Phoenix AZ.

We need to find more copies of this online and try to determine the source of the picture and try to determine if this picture has been doctored or is completely legit.

There is plenty of evidence that this is NOT photoshopped:
1. The shadows (this appears to have been taken around noon) are the same on everyones' clothing including the man holding the sign. And the shadow on the sign corresponds, too.
2. The man holding the sign is making eye contact with someone in the foreground who is holding something, perhaps a camera.
3. The man ahead of him in the blue shirt is also making eye contact with the person who took this photo. The reason is obvious.
5. The general illumination is all identical
5. Everything looks natural. If this is photoshopped someone should be able to find a flaw.

They seem to make the letter"R" the same on the top written in black as they do on the bottom in red. Which would make me believe it is written by the same person.

Report that facebook to law enforcement and the FBI, they can track it down.

Threats like that may make the mexican authorities back down from the cartels, but won't work here.

Holy SHA~MOLIE

the thing I looked at, the sign itself, when most people insert, they do it 2d, basically flat, you can see the curve of the sign where it is bent over on top, and the way it is bent, looks like there may be writing on the other side......if it was photshopeed, the guy/gal is damn good

I didn't click on the facebook link, thought you found it on a facebook page.

Trying to google images to see if it comes up.

With every passing year they become more bold, more demanding and more violent.

What would make them think we want to give them anything and especially Amnesty?

Maybe this sign will wake up some of those who are pushing for Amnesty.

Hey Obama, Pelosi, Reid...Are you listening?

From the looks of the sign, that part written in red was added to the top portion. It looks like a piece of paper that was either stapled or scotch taped to the top part, possibly so that it could be removed and destroyed immediately if any real attention was brought to it. The rest of the sign looks to be made very sturdy.
