I think there's a possibility the photo of Trayvon shooting a bird has been Photoshopped to include the hand extending the middle finger. There is an identical (identical) photo without the hand. Unless he was able to maintain exactly the same pose, meaning neither shoulder moved when he lifted his hand (and his eyes didn't move, nor did his head in relation to the folding closet doors), then this photo shooting a bird is a composite. The lighting on the hand doesn't match the lighting on the rest of the body, either.

We have another Freeper who has posted a composite photo showing both photos at once: the photo, without the hand, and the photo with the hand.

Check my posts; I'm not a Martin apologist.

What's the original source of the photo with the hand supposed to be?

“Update #2, Thursday, 5:25 p.m. EDT: The Daily Caller has received a tip that the image above, showing Martin with his middle finger extended, also exists in a different form without the hand in the foreground. It’s likely that the two images were successive photos shot from the same camera at roughly the same time. It’s also remotely possible, but less likely, that Martin himself added the hand before posting the image to his Twitter account in 2011. In any event, the version of the image with the hand is the one that Martin used when his Twitter handle was “T33ZY_TAUGHT_M3.” That image, with the hand, was archived in 2011 both by Twitter and by PeopleBrowsr, the social analytics website whose database was the source for the material described in this article. ”
