The public didn't do so great of a job identifying suspects of the Boston Marathon bombing 3 Years After Boston Marathon Bombing, The Story Of A Wrongly Accused Student
Sunil Tripathi was wrongly accused by members of the general public of being a suspect. He and his family were trashed on social media. He had actually gone missing before the marathon and committed suicide, his body was found after the bombing. Not only did his family have to deal with his suicide, but they had to suffer from the false accusations.
I think LE has this case under control and doesn't need any help from the public. IMO.[/QUOTE]
I have to say that I lived there during this time and this was handled swiftly and professionally by LE. The public was trying to help and the video released of this young man was eerily similar to the actual youngest perp. The public did help, thankfully. This is unfortunate and certainly always possible, even when the public isn’t involved. Many innocent people are convicted, which is even one step beyond what happened in Boston. In this case, the public assistance helped catch and serve justice to the cowardice terrorists.
I respectfully disagree with the sentiment that the public assistance did harm. Yes, this poor young man was an innocent victim, but in the big picture, there were many innocent victims.
