Dude Is Freaking Out Because His Old ID Photo Looks Just Like Suspected Fugitive Bomber

The guy on the left is fugitive suspected Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev — still on the run following mayhem in Watertown, MA, last night, and the Boston Marathon bombings on Monday, in which he was allegedly involved.

The guy on the right is Jack Mirkinson, who has absolutely no involvement in any of this. Except that one of his old ID photos makes him look remarkably like Tsarnaev.

Remember the Far Side cartoon where one deer has a bullseye on his stomach, and the other deer says to him: "Bummer of a birthmark, Hal." Yep. That's a bummer.

Kudos to Mirkinson for getting out ahead of this, with media outlets jumping to all sorts of conclusions about this story (I'm looking at you, New York Post). But then, he does work for the Huffington Post, so he would be savvy on media matters.
