at the face of this hardened criminal,
and meet his steely gaze, do not be fooled this is a wanted man for committing crimes so serious that he is on the wanted list in Zhenxiong, China’s Yunnan province, but here is the problem, the police did not have a recent photograph of the wanted 17 year old, so they went with the only photograph they had of him, Ji Qinghai, as he was in this pre-school photograph, the Public Security Bureau of Zhenxiong County posted the wanted notice for Ji Qinghai on its website, on March 19, the picture
of a preschooler among those of hardened criminals stood out like a sore thumb,
so people started sharing it on social media and ridiculing police, on the
morning of March 20th, Zhenxiong police put out a statement apologizing for the use of the
suspect’s childhood photo despite him being nearly an adult now,
of course the genie was now truly out of the bottle, so it was not long before people started scouring through the
wanted notices posted by Zhenxiong police, and found two other childhood photos
used for the notices of other much older alleged criminals, the police took down the photographs and apologized for their mistake, saying that they had learned
their lesson and promising to do everything in their power to prevent this sort
of thing from ever happening again,
I wonder if posting a
picture of a criminal when he or she was young gave Lester Joseph Gillis AKA Baby Face Nelson his
name?
