isnt it of him shooting him with the bullet coming out of his head or something?
{edit}
yea | Quote: | | "The photograph, by Eddie Adams, was especially vivid, a frozen moment that put a wincing face of horror on the war. Taken almost at once with the squeeze of the trigger, the photo showed the prisoner, unidentified and wearing black shorts and a plaid shirt, in a final grimace as the bullet passed through his brain. Close examination of the photo, which won a Pulitzer Prize in 1969, showed the slug leaving his head. " |

The dude that did the shooting was called Nguyen Ngoc Loan
Do a search on google for his name (poor chap), and you will find a few pics.

Very historic photo, awful as it maybe it reflects the harshness of the war.

Guys and Gals I hope this does not start a round of pictures of people in various states of real death or injury.
I don't think this is the forum to start posts like that.
Any or us can visit these sites easy enough on our own.
Asking for the picture was one thing put posting it is another. |

Pondscum, i don't mean disrespect... But i would much appretiate it if you could take that picture off. I'm sorry, but i just truly think that sort of thing should not be posted on the fourms...

I agree with Roof and JR on this one.
I know that you were only posting them to try and help, but those pics should not be in the ville forum.
