Explosion at the Boston Marathon #3

[believe09]

Thank you.

These two, one of whom is a minor, had their personal info publicized on reddit and elsewhere yesterday too.

I hate, hate that this witch hunt hysteria is going on over something that happened in our backyard here. Mass is such a diverse place, and it pains me to think about people being made to feel persecuted because of their ethnicity, race, appearance, etc.

BBM-and just like with the Saudi National, people are not going to get the message regarding these two. FBI can make a statements, AG can make a statement, and people will go on believing that they have been legitimately identified as suspects.

ARGH. Better to err on the side of caution on this website than put these two through all of this.

Do we have their photos copy pasted in on here or are they simply linked?

Believe, I think in the last thread their pics were posted, unfortunately. I remember asking maybe if we could blur faces if folks were going to post them directly.

It was front page on the dreadful NYPost today. Awful.

I have been combing the threads-did we post any of their personal information here? I havent found any copy/pastes but maybe I missed them.

Maybe you can check your posts, find where you asked that, then alert on any photo(s) you see from there. I forgot how to skim through all the old posts you've made, it was easy to find when I last did it, and then you just click on that post - it takes you right to the page and post you made.

People have short memories. This is nothing new. Richard Jewell sued the New York Post for 15 million dollars. He also sued NBC News and the Atlanta Journal Constitution, pillars of the MSM.

 

[carbuff]

The reason I posted it was because it quoted Reuters and Fox. Are those not reputable?

Quoting a selected reputable source doesn't automatically make you reputable.

Was just doing that... I haven't found any yet, so maybe they've all been mod snipped. I also can't find my post where I asked for faces to be blurred, so that might be gone as well. But then again I'm skimming, and trying to get four kids out the door to visit fam lol... might still be there... Feel free to track thru my posts from yesterday/day before, anyone who has the time to fine tooth comb it!

I predict an arrest or two this afternoon. jmo

 

[wfgodot]

Good morning all. Just up after a night of hellish storms. Are they caught yet? Any pressers on the horizon?

I haven't found anything yet either. It looks like the modsnips for the blown margins took out most of the questionable posts.

Nope, nobody has been caught.

 

[carbuff]

Speaking just for myself, I'm not going to believe anything in the media until there's a press conference with Boston's police commissioner and the FBI dude announcing an arrest or other development.

And even then I'm going to remind myself that it's "suspect," and nothing is proven until after a trial.

Could mister Green Jacket be taking trophy pics for himself since he is holding a camera!! If that makes sense?!

I'm with you about these 2. Seeing this vid clip frame by frame is Imoo very telling. :moo:
Mr. Green jacket doesn't move.....he just stands there. Wow

 

[newsleuther]

About just standing there... A good friend of mine was blocks of the twin towers on 9/11 (I was in midtown).

When the buildings started collapsing, she also just stood there for quite some time. Someone had to grab her and tell her to run.

That could very well be what's happening in that video. You can't judge how you will respond in that kind of situation unless you're in it.

Some people run, some people help, some people are stunned and stand there

That's what I was just auto to post. Blown margins seem to have taken care of most if not all of the pasted pics.

I wasn't so worried about generic crowd scenes as I am about ones where folks are circled/have arrows, etc. but as said, it looks like they're all gone.

Not yet.

I'm just about to go to bed, so I'm hoping there's news when I wake in the morning. There was a news story somewhere saying that the photos of the suspects are going to be released by LE soon but I'm not holding my breath.

Not sure if this has been posted:

Report: Images of suspects in bombings to be released today

 

[alwaysonmymind]

I have concerns about the Memorial Service today.

No one has been arrested. It wasn't suicide bombers. The persons behind the bombing are still moving around undetected.

It's like fish in a barrel.

Globe reported that LE will release their pics of POIs later today. Pics show two men at separate locations.

Will grab link, one sec
