They really are the same picture.. Local lib abc news here just said the DOJ has dropped the case, as it appears this may not have been a hate crime. Then they went into a minute long autobiography of this brave young black activist, nothing but praises and positive things to say, finishing up with a nice line about this is the future of noosecar. It was very weird, it was like they were saying it really doesn't matter that this turned out to be nothing, its about time we all celebrate black people and the future of America! Cha ching!
