With out jumping to conclusions, one could argue the guys in the khaki could also be undercover cops or whatever just patrolling.

It always amazes me how investigators are able to piece together clues that may seem completely innocuous to us, and solve crimes.

(CNN) -- Investigators believe they have identified a suspect in the Boston Marathon bombings, a source who has been briefed on the investigation told CNN's John King exclusively.
The breakthrough came from analysis of video from a department store near the site of the second explosion. Video from a Boston television station also contributed to the progress, said the source, who declined to be more specific but called it a significant development.

Arrest or no arrest? CNN says 'yes,' NBC says 'no.' News conf. set for 2pm PT.

Boston Police Dept. @Boston_Police
Despite reports to the contrary there has not been an arrest in the Marathon attack.

shawnly1000 04-17-2013 10:35 AM

LOL CNN TROLL

CNN: 'There has been no arrest, and in fact, a suspect has not been identified.' Lots of silence after that.

Anderson Cooper: 'initial reports so often are wrong.'

Not seen on CNN lately: John King.

Oh god I hate CNN in times like this...well, any time really.

Here's a tidbit of actual information, and 3 hours of 15 people speculating about what it could mean.

The ENTIRE channel is based on "what if" scenarios. Then, actual news comes in, and they can narrow down a what if scenario, and start speculating on the next new steps.

Fox News is even worse...they just speculate that its Muslims, and that Obama is fucking it up.

radioman 04-17-2013 11:04 AM

Haven't followed news like this since the Chris Dorner man hunt and it was same thing with speculation for hours.

I'll stay tuned but I rather have them give reports directly from boston pd/fbi sources instead of Cindy from church group who overheard something.

shawnly1000 04-17-2013 11:17 AM

This the reality of main stream news media in the light of social media; "sources" are now less credible and the thirst/demand for information ASAP is resulting in less scrutiny/confirmation of information. Social media is a double edged thing

cliffhanger33 04-17-2013 12:21 PM

Wow CNN fail

Way to get everyone hyped about how quickly FBI works

interesting quote by timothy mcveigh which "may" put insight into the bombers motives

Quote:

I suggest that one study the histories of World War I, World War II and other “regional conflicts” that the U.S. has been involved in to familiarize themselves with the use of “weapons of mass destruction.”
Remember Dresden? How about Hanoi? Tripoli? Baghdad? What about the big ones — Hiroshima and Nagasaki? (At these two locations, the U.S. killed at least 150,000 non-combatants — mostly women and children — in the blink of an eye. Thousands more took hours, days, weeks or months to die).
If Saddam is such a demon, and people are calling for war crimes charges and trials against him and his nation, why do we not hear the same cry for blood directed at those responsible for even greater amounts of “mass destruction” — like those responsible and involved in dropping bombs on the cities mentioned above?
The truth is, the U.S. has set the standard when it comes to the stockpiling and use of weapons of mass destruction.

Does it matter?
Maybe hes a great tool for you to dismiss the false flag attacks of the past without trying to do any of your own research... or look at CorneringArts, without picking on the articles facts, he completely dismissed it because the news isnt served from the very ZioAmerican entity that causes home and foreign terror operations almost everyday.

The top half of this article is very interesting which reveals an FBI false flag operation at an Oregon Christmas tree lighting event.

It's simple - American lives are always worth more. They're the future.

As a human being, you obviously feel for the victims of this shitty event but as a non-American, this is one of the first things I thought about. The things they do behind the cameras/media that aren't being televised, it's just as ugly.

But what are you gonna do?.. It's just the ways of the world.

Yet when a few "extremists" within the US military do something wrong (and get court-martialed for it) then suddenly we can label the entire US as evil?

All I see is a lot of hypocrisy in this thread in regards to "labeling" a group based on what some of their members do.

because you imagine only those getting court martialed are the ones doing bad when the facts say otherwise...the ones getting court martialed as i noted in my post went above and beyond even what the military lets slide; you think all the acts of terror we've seen from the military have been subject to court martialling but it hasn't
do you think those few that have been court martialed are responsible for the several hundred thousand civilian deaths? (this just from the 2nd Iraq invasion)

that's a nice way to be dismissive and not care simply saying "oh im sure someone dealt with all those atrocities"

I still think this isn't a terrorist attack. Rather it's just some dumb nutjob
