People not picking up the picture story as quickly as you'd think (a point I explained isn't so improbable as you might think), the GAFollowers article being deleted without explanation (which could be because they realised that this opened them up to a libel suit because they claimed it was a positive identification, something the Daily Boulder avoids by pointing out that it's not conclusive), and now a crypto-racist jab (complete with some... antiquated ebonics) at Huggy Bear about black people thinking all white people look alike? Seriously? I'm so white that taking regular hot baths is the only thing keeping my skin from a deathly pallour and even I think the guy in the mugshot and the guy in the Klan photo look alike. Once again, even arewethereyet at least tried to point out some differences, and even then, she conceded that the differing angles could just be screwing up the perspective. This is like the scene from The Newsroom where Jeff Daniels is debating Arizona's immigration policy and the people he got are so stupid that he has to argue their side for them because they're too fucking dumb to do it themselves.
At least when Huggy Bear decides to defend some idea that's totally fucking stupid, he at least tries to actually defend them. He may defend them in some very stupid ways, and his sources may be easy to cast into doubt, but he's at least not this fucking lazy.
Jesus fuck.
Math
State of Georgia 10.5 million
Men Age 55-60 aprox 4%.
400,000 - easily 1/2 wear glasses
Of 200,000 probably at least 1/2 have greying facial hsir.
0f 100,000 at least 20 % have a goatee of some sort.
So your odds of any given white guy with glasses and a goatee (your sole points of data) is about 20,000.to 1.
I'll put a 100 bucks on it. Want to give me odds?

You're absolutely right, the guy in the photo at the klan rally could be any one of a hell of alot of guys. It is georgia, after all.

Here's a couple photos of mine...they are both a few years old and the hair isn't totally white yet. One is holding my granddaughter and his grandson - standard issue old southern white guy wire rimmed glasses with mustache/goatee combo. The other is holding our mutual grandson...no glasses yet, not white headed yet but the picture is nearly 8 years old. This is South Carolina.

Guys of a certain age in the south with that facial hair combo and ruddy complexion (with or without the standard issue wire rims) are as common as glasses of sweet tea.

This whole diversion is priceless. Are the dipshits racist because one of them may or may not have attended a klan rally, or because of the lynching?
Just what, exactly, are we trying to acquit them of.

Yeah well the guy on the bottom pic looks to be about 6' 4'', and the guy in the other pic seems to be a little more portly, neither would be be mistaken for the guy in the klan photo however.

Just what, exactly, are we trying to acquit them of. A lynching does not automatically mean the act was racially motivated.
Were they racist? Based on where they live and knowing that type of area I can say it wouldn't surprise me.

Point missed.
Older white men with that facial hair style are as common as they come in the south. Also common are the wire rimmed glasses. At no point did I claim it could be one of them. I am pointing out that the pictures offered as 'proof' aren't convincing. Yes, they look similar...so do hundreds, if not thousands, of old white guys.
