Hey, in case you weren’t looking, there’s a new and very disturbing fashion rage that’s been creeping up in police mug shots since 2008.
These are actual photos taken from police mugshots around the country, some have even been linked to very dastardly deeds such as playing music too loud during a post Obama victory celebration. This is strange indeed because just the other day I was saying to a friend, as we polished our pistols with Sarah Palin t-shirts, I wonder what happened to all the Obama drama t-shirts that we used to see around about. Guess now we know huh!
“Let’s see here. I need to shower, shave, eat some oatmeal (it keeps my cholesterol down), put on my new ‘Obama: Change we can believe in’ T-shirt, grab my 9mm and a few rounds, hold up a convenience store, and then go buy some crack…”
So just think about this for a second. When was the last time you ever saw anyone arrested wearing a Bush T-shirt, or for you older guys, an Eisenhower, Gerald Ford, Ronald Reagan, or even Nixon, or Bob Dole shirt…??
There MUST be a message here, but I can’t quite grasp it. Maybe you can help me out here…

too awesome!
These photographs scares the hell out of me, but great article though, it has nice topics and explanation.
Yeah there is a message in there somewhere, I think it might be that you are a bigoted, borderline racist, smug little prick.
I love how you’re jumping to the racist card first. Maybe it has nothing to do with that.
@Bob, Agreed….
This is just fucking ridiculous. Why don’t I collect a bunch ofmugshots off people all wearing UFC, or Rolling Stones, or any damn t-shirt and then write a half-assed article about it.
Hmmmm…. Humorist/Photographer/ Wag Fran Liebowitz once said -when t shirts with messages were first born— “If no one wants to talk to you, do you think they will talk to your shirt?”
Anyway does the message really escape you? It’s a symptom of the trashing of a once venerable institution….
