I wouldn't jump to conclusions. The guy on the left might be a Bush supporter with these people. His facial expression may be an attempt to comfort the little girl. You know how photos can capture a smile in the making, which can look like a smirk. People make all kinds of expression when trying to comfort little kids. He may be holding the sign because it was his, just like the little girl. We can get the straight story from the father, if he could be found.

I doubt it. He looks like a room temperature IQ, overpaid punk.

With the union t-shirt and the shredded remains in his hands, He looks as guilty as Scott Peterson.

Dad just on radio, confirms guy on left was trying to grab the last remnants of the sign from the little girl when shot was taken . . . absolutely disgraceful punk . . .

Sorry, jumped to that conclusion already. Mr. Baseball Cap has a Union Member for John Kerry T Shirt on, and the remnants of the torn sign in his hand. He is no Bush supporter.

The father, interviewed on Glenn Beck, confirmed that the smirking slime on the left was the main sign-destroying-thug.

The guy on the left has part of the ripped up sign in his hand!

I admire your willingness to keep a open mind. But I believe that the backward-baseball-cap thug is wearing a t-shirt that says IUPAT for K.... .....DS> (I"m going to take a wild guess that in this setting that's a Kerry/Edwards) shirt.
