This post was deleted for the following reason: Mug shots are kind of a fascinating thing but all the same this does feel kind of needlessly gawkerish and exploitative without some kind of context. -- cortex

I like how there's no real distinction between last name, crime, and identifying details. I like to pretend that some of the people just have the last name "Battery", or were arrested for being on American Idol.

Too sad. Too raw. Like an ice cold razor sharp wind of sadness.

The subtext here is the criminals look like criminals. If you dress well, have healthy skin and a normal haircut you are not a danger to the community. This is why stealing a car puts you away for 5-10, while stealing millions in banking assets gets you promoted.
