b) the security guard in this photo is *complicit* — if you read Hawk’s post, you’ll see that Hawk took this guy’s picture (and posted it) for a reason

c) from an editorial POV: Hawk’s post lead photo was the solo shot: as a blogger, author, editor I feel it’s good policy not to *imitate* a post stylistically. I’m here to draw attention to things, not copy others’ posts, so I try to be careful to create original content whenever possible.

One suggestion: it would maybe be better if the picture used on this site to illustrate the post were the picture that Thomas took of the alleged assaulter, head-on, as opposed to a profile of him in a picture that is primarily focused on the security guard who didn’t assault him?
