I say that law enforcement needs a repository for every single un-touched image and video recorded. They can form them into a timeline using the meta data and start identifying people and their locations from moment to moment. Every runner, every victim, every spectator, every camera, every cellphone, etc. Fill in the blanks. With the amount of info on people's phones and cameras, they could literally recreate almost every person's position at any time for hours leading up to it and play it back. Tediously track each one through the timeline source images and see what they have and don't have as it progresses. Once you start identifying who's who, you can start dismissing whole swaths of people (most victims, most runners, most law enforcement, etc) until you have it down to a handful that need to be found/followed-up on.

Who's to say it didn't go off quicker than he was planning?

Because then he'd know that it's a little late for that and know EXACTLY where to go for cover from a secondary blast with no need to run like that. Running is not suspicious. Only idiots suspect him because he's running.

i guess media is the *&&* . How can media claim they have sources though? Usually this media people are connected. Unless law enforcement don't know who to look for to.

First off thanks for truncating my statement, leaving it completely out of context. It is baffling why you're even responding to that.

Did you even read all of what I said?

The reason why the news networks/articles chose that picture is because it is not directly showing faces = least likely to get sued for slander. They need something to sell news papers, generate viewership, web trafffic, etc. since the FBI are not giving out the real photos to the public/media.

The FBI know who they are looking for, if they didn't they would've released the photos and ask for the public's help.

Yeah, I read somewhere that cell phone data was used. The way I see it, they just had to deduce the rough gps position data of the bomb droppers, and then get the names of the people in that area. Then you just connect the 2 people on video with the faces/builds of the names culled from cellular providers.

Unless they didn't have cell phones on them.

Such as yourself?

Who's to say it didn't go off quicker than he was planning? The problem is on both sides - you're both assuming.

I'm not making an assumption either way - best chance is to interview / investigate anyone you can get ahold of. That guy being invovled or not involved cannot be determined from that video clip.

I didn't say it was impossible for him to be the bomber. I said there was no reason whatsoever to suspect him any more than those around him. In fact, there's reason to believe he's LESS likely to be the bomber since he was in the danger zone when it detonated. Should you detain and question EVERYONE?

It was insinuated by your first sentence. If that wasn't what you meant you can always clarify. I agree with what you state here.

And if you can question literally everyone it is to your benefit as you won't miss the perp. Doesn't mean you'll figure out who it is, though. More information on events like this is better than less.

The latest news is they have two possible suspects and they are going to release the photos asking for public's help in finding them.

Woops. Not CNN. And it's both of them, not one.

Whoops what? Did you fall and hit your head again?

I read that entire article twice to make sure I'm not the moron here. No where does it connect the 4chan pictures to the "two suspects" it mentions. I checked all the other sources I can find. The only ones linking the 4chan pictures to the FBI's "two suspects" are the New York Post, and you.

NYPost finally did the right thing:

Two men probed in Boston Marathon bombings cleared by investigators

Investigators have now cleared the two men whose pictures were circulated last night in an email among law enforcement officials, sources told The Post today.

Authorities determined neither had any information or role in Monday’s attacks at the Boston Marathon.

The pictures, which were distributed yesterday evening in an attempt to identify them, show the two men standing with a backpack and duffel bag near the finish line, where a pair of bombs killed three and maimed 176.

Meanwhile, sources said today that the feds have an image from a store video camera of a person of interest. They also have an image of a potential witness that was captured on film, though that person is not considered a suspect, the sources said.

Authorities have not decided whether to publicly release any photos today.

Sources said the investigation could be a prolonged effort.

“It's not like we're going to have somebody in cuffs in five minutes but it is evolving,” said a federal law enforcement source.

Not really, they didn't issue a retraction in that article and also an apology. That would be the right thing to do.

More on the kid that Reddit NYPost etc fingered as the bomber.

It should be mentioned again how disgraceful that whole episode was.

 

[7window]

Law enforcement fell for it to because according to the news they spread a "be on the lookout" for the 2 suspect wearing blue jacket and white hat. Glad the internet sleuth failed ont his one.

That was about 12 minutes ago.

I'll forgive them for being a few minutes late. They have two easels set up so I'm assuming the pics will be released.

Briefing is going on now.
