Me neither. That one is really shows the emotion and fear and it’s more clear than some of the others.

That photo is of the medal presentation for the Long Jump.
The German competitor is, somewhat ironically named, Luz Long who was killed while serving in the German Army during World War II.

Long, who had developed a friendship with Owens would implore Owens to write to his son Karl, who had experienced nothing but a bellicose posture growing up in pre-war Germany, to explain "what times were like when we not separated by war", and to tell him "how things can be between men on this earth"

Your Herculean efforts, slaving away at that keyboard, ignoring the ravaging symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome, braving the anonymity of internet message boards, are an inspiration to all of us.

I have no sympathy for the scum anti-war hippies in the 60’s. They spat on our troops and they helped hamstring our countrys foreign policy (gutless pols also to blame) to fight a stupid police action instead of a full in it to win it war like WW II with the commitment that our troops deserve. The fight was against communism which has been responsible for the slaughter of over 100 million throughout history. Still fighting the same war today but losing our asses, hopefully about to change soon. Anti-war hippies === Antifa. All commie scum too stupid to know they are fighting for the future slaughter and subjugation of us all.

Füt, I knew where the picture from. I was more just idiotically commenting on the captivating beauty and intensity of her eyes.

I’ve heard from coworkers that the women of Kazakhstan are the most beautiful women in the world. If the entire region has women with eyes like that, just damn.
