Ok so I am not buying the tough guy act he is desperately trying to portray in the photo. Dude is a walking ice cream sandwich in a suit.
I didn't even realise he is trying to look tough. He looks anxious.
Red eyes and make-up wiped off his nose like he’s been crying, and a sulky expression..
Not at all tough. More like a young child who had a temper tantrum and is pouting.
I don't doubt that he is belligerent, I don't doubt that he is capable of murder. He is a rapist. If "dangerous" is considered tough, then I buy it. But tough is not the same as strong. There is no strength without empathy.
Dangerous is not the same as tough. When toughness is necessary, then weakness is the dangerous trait.
I'm not sure that's what he's going for. He just looks unhappy to me, which seems very plausible. If he had half a brain, he'd do a Bill Gates and put on a careless smile in his mugshot.
