Any idea why they are blurring the tat on his forearm? To protect some gang?

Possibly profane.

A rap sheet with 22 priors, we see this so many times. It’s a real problem that needs attending to. When will the government and judiciary wake up to this problem?

Maybe it’s blurred to protect the name of a third party.

Here’s a clear image of it:

And, Lonesome, you spelled Massachusetts wrong - bet nobody has mentioned that before :)

It’s not a gang tattoo. I assume they obscured the tat in case the guy is actually not guilty of the charges. If the tattoos are easily identifiable they might open themselves up to some sort of legal action for publishing it. But I’m not sure.
