It's amazing how the Jewish PR has first brought up racism and is now trying to say that they didn't even take part in the riot.

This is true. Besides, jews control the media and the government and they were behind 9/11 !

Did you ever read about the Jewish guys who were high-fiving each other and celebrating when the towers were hit? Rumor has it that they were Israeli Secret Service.

Maybe the rioters were Mossad. They were trying to create a distraction to...eh, nevermind. I cannot even find anything funny to say. The whole Jew-bashing thing is overdone.

Let's pick on the Hispanics. That dude looked Hispanic, no? Definitely swarthy.

I am positive this photo has been Photoshopped. Great job. But the photo is just too good.

Thank god. Love Moneky comes back to live! I loved that show!

More WCBS fun: Apparently there is a rumor going around that Channel 2 is looking to get a Liz Cho look-alike from out of town. God forbid they do something novel like engage in some competent reporting every day to get ratings.

Check out the aura around the edges of the guy. Also, look at the angle and intensity of lighting on the background subjects vs. the guy in the foreground. DEFINITELY Photoshopped.

Suspicious, what are your photographic credentials? ;)

Other than cropping, this photo has not been retouched.
Thanks for the praise.

Okay, okay, mea culpa. I'm willing to admit when I'm wrong. After looking on the Daily News site, I was able to find more pics of this punk standing by.

I wasnt trying to reverse call you out.

This shot was taken very early on Thursday morning... so the "aura" suggested was smog/fog as we all know is very present in the early morning hours etc.

It was also mentioned and I believe I should clear it up, the angle was photoshopped. The angle is fo-real. I just dipped my camera to the side, is this so uncommon? The background was brighter cuz of the sun vs the black asphalt, cars and forground lighting...

Again, other than cropping, this photo was not shopped.

It is real, you can walk by and see it- right in front of where the new apple store will be. It is quite stunning.

Jeeeeez Ed, I admitted I was wrong, you didn't have to rub it in. ;-)

Are edEx and suspicious even talking about the same photo? I think suspicious is talking about the "goy" among the Hasids and edEx is talking about his wonderful shot of the stratigraphy of New York City.
Either way, I don't think either photo was manipulated in a way as to change the underlying reality of the shot.
