Wow, what news to wake up to this morning!
While we wait for more information, I noticed a mention overnight sometime about being surprised there was no "vigilante justice" going on. (sorry, the thread moved so fast I lost the quote to the original post). I thought this might be of interest: http://www.redding.com/news/graham-seen-in-shasta-lake-in-second-day-of-manhunt_83578281. Key point BBM. I was glad to finally see this in MSM so it could be mentioned here.
Many took to social media the search dominated local Facebook crime groups. The Facebook group Find Baby Ember, which has more than 4,800 likes, started as an attempt to aggregate news and efforts to search for Ember. Its administrators urged commenters to focus on finding Ember, not assigning blame.
It warned Sunday that someone was encouraging the public turn vigilante against Graham.
We received a Craigslist posting earlier that stated everyone go get your guns and find Matthew. It frightened us to think of the vigilante mindset, a post by the groups administrators read. ... We have to find Matthew in order to find Baby Ember.
ETA: as much as it sucks for the deputies involved, I was kind of relieved to read that it was a deputy involved situation and not any of these "vigilantes."
Thank you, NikB!
I posted commenting on the possibility (or lack of) vigilantes searching for MG...
I, too, am glad this was thwarted....
enough people have been hurt...
