As a conservative this kind of makes me look at the benefits of public surveillance done right. This didn't take long at all and, assuming that whoever they caught actually did it, could bolster support for more it. Personally, I'm still straddling the fence on it; it can be an easy thing to take advantage of people's privacy after all.
If this dude's the suspect, he looks pretty light skinned to me... I'm guessing we've got another lone wolf nutter yearning for power and attention here...
Saw that on 4chan earlier today. If this is the person Boston police actually are talking to, then the "dark-skinned male" tag is sorta irrelevant. Must explain why that title was pulled from Boston local too. http://boston.cbslocal.com/2013/04/...ngs-suspect-identified-in-surveillance-video/
Guess I won't know if its him or not since everyone is taking back their "they've got somebody!" reports.
I find your "jubilation" at the mere possibility (not supported by ANY facts, nor any reliable sources as yet though!) that among the cowards who planted those bombs thrtr MAY be someone with "dark skin!" This is sick! It wouldn't matter if the perpetrator(s) is/are White, Yellow, Brown, or Black. . .He (they) are cowards and deserve to rot in jail (at least!).
Who CARES what the color of the coward ******** is? The person who did this should be condemn by EVERYONE, no matter what the race or ethnicity! And once again, it seems that the racist Right is jumping the guns! There have been no arrest made. . . So . . .can we ALL agree that whomever did that, White, Black, Yellow, Brown, American or not, Male or Female, Republican, Democrat, White supremacist, KKK, Tea party, . . .whomever he/she is needs to spend the rest of his/her life in jail. That is ALL that matters! Everything else is "racist" noises.
Wrong, Sadanie. Many PF libs have expressed a strong desire that this suspect be a white male conservative, and not a Muslim, or any of the other minority groups that belong to the left. MSNBC has said the same thing. Have you read the Salon article where they explicitly state "let's hope this is a white male"? The only suspect that fits in with the left's politically correct paradigm is a white male. That's the only perpetrator they are hoping for.
Perhaps. But they can detain in certain Homeland Security cases for up to 7 days without arresting. And it is prudent to suspect that more than one entity was involved. It is good police work to NOT admit you have the first suspect in custody until you have the last one as well. Point being, we do not know what they got. And we wouldn't know until they have decided to tell us..
This kind of stuff happens everyday in the Middle East: A bunch of innocent people fill a bus, including children and babies, when BOOM -- Johny Q. Achmed the suicide bomber detonates his explosive vest. I feel bad that this happened, but it's still nowhere near as bad as what other parts of the world have to go through. Did everybody forget about Assad's goons throwing grenades into the streets of towns believed to be harboring rebels? Search Youtube to see the carnage first-hand as posted by the people living there.
I'm laughing at your hopes it's not a white guy. Seriously, who the hell cares? An attack is an attack. Lock whoever it was away, and throw away the key. Oh, and also force people who still even care about race, especially as a factor in terms of criminal innocence or guilt to seek an education.
Look at the OP, and tell me that it is not laughable if you look at extreme ********s who hope to use this tragedy for their own STUPID political partisanship goals! Only imbeciles would use this for political purpose. . .and they obviously exist on both end of the spectrum!
