Grow up

Grow up, kids. The photo is simply a depiction that does relate to the story at hand. Obama was possibly an assassination target, that puts him "in the crosshairs" of the evil-doers who got arrested. Why not direct your "righteous indignation" in a direction that's more productive instead of making a bunch of loud noise(which will have little to no effect, trust me) in a comment field?

I'm an Obama supporter as well as a staunch believer in equal rights for all citizens and I find the photo not even the slightest bit offensive. It perfectly illustrates the point of the article and grabs your attention, exactly what good photojournalism should do. The entire problem, as I see it, is that some people like to look for hidden meanings that just aren't there.

Oh noes! A photo of a black candidate with a crosshair on it! Some conservative/white supremacist(pick your poison) was just waiting to put that photo up! Please, spare us all. Maybe instead of flaming a journalist for doing his job you should re-examine your own life and determine just what insecurities in your personality lead you to such quick and open outrage over something totally insignificant.
