This image features a mugshot of an adult Caucasian man with a full brown beard, wearing an orange prison jumpsuit, posed against the standard plain grey background of a police booking photo. Below the photograph, a hashtag for #THEHODGETWINS is displayed, followed by a news headline: 'Army Vet Who Forgave Wife's Affair Snaps After Learning the Child He Raised Was Never His – Kills Lover'. The meme was posted on 9Gag with the original title 'Sounds quite reasonable', which frames the post to imply that the veteran's extreme violent reaction to the long-term betrayal by his wife and her lover is sympathetic or understandable to many people.
