it pisses me off too… the first thing i heard of it was the “internet sleuths say it was photoshopped”… so i looked at it, at first i was shocked… they really just put letters on the picture? didn’t match the color or shape of the hand?!?!
then i realized it was just annotated and the real story is the only flimsy evidence they have is some shitty non-ms13 tattoos….

back in the day i say some table of gang associated tattoos and it said the pot leaf is a ms13 symbol, and i thought that was just soooo stupid.
but now they’re acting like it’s proof.

but i wouldn’t call it disingenuous to think the annotation was their fake evidence since they’ve faked evidence before while barely trying….
even this could’ve been an attempt at fake evidence and then they claimed it was annotated later… they’re really that dumb….
