Police circulate photo of two men sought in bombing investigation

photos of two suspects

The suspects have been variously described in the media as men with dark complexions, as white men with dark complexions, and just as white men. No official word yet about their political affiliations or motives (but thanks to Preston we already have the inside story on that).

Well they arrested the guy in Alabama for ricin letters, and he sounds like a paranoid crackpot.

However if you google "ricin" and "white supremacist" you'll see that white supremacists are obsessed with ricin.

Not necessarily white supremacists, I'm just pointing out that the whole conspiracy theory subculture has a 1 to 5% white supremacist element. White supremacists have tried this sort of thing before, and they get all torqued up for Hitler's birthday (April 20).

A lot of people in the militia/Alex Jones world are too crazy to be white supremacists, who mostly try to maintain the appearance of sanity.
Even Hitler said that people who believed nothing were useless as Nazis (but he was a huge admirer of the ruthlessness of religious intolerance). It was more important to find dumb gullible people, convert them, and teach to only trust party propaganda.

Hey, what have goobers Freepers said about gun control?

PS: Don’t for get how effective IED’S were in Iraq. They think we are stupid,and I truley hope and beleve they will under estimate us and our resolve.

There are quite good pics of the suspected bombers, but the feds won't officially release them.

The pics I linked to were on the NYPOST web site and show two men----one carrying a backpack matching one of the bombs, and then a later photo where the man isn't carrying the pack anymore. But these aren't "official" photos and likely aren't even the "official" suspects.

Law-enforcement officials said that they had not yet decided whether the authorities will release the video images of the two men and appeal to the public for help, but the person briefed on the investigation said that it was “more likely than not” that they would. Doing so would have advantages and drawbacks. While it could help investigators locate them, it could also alert them that they are being sought — and potentially lead to hundreds of false sightings that could eat up the time of law-enforcement officers.
--NY TImes

This is one of the stupidest statements I have ever seen. The idea that releasing the "official" photos of the suspects would "alert them that they are being sought" is incredibly stupid---Isn't it obvious that the bombers already know they are being sought?

The longer the delay in releasing the photos of these cretins, the longer they have to get away and hide. Even worse, they might carry out another attack. The photos of the suspects should be released so the public can provide clues and help the police find the suspected bombers as soon as possible.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'C')ontrary to widespread reporting, no arrest has been made in connection with the Boston Marathon attack. Over the past day and a half, there have been a number of press reports based on information from unofficial sources that has been inaccurate. Since these stories often have unintended consequences, we ask the media, particularly at this early stage of the investigation, to exercise caution and attempt to verify information through appropriate official channels before reporting.

The Daily Show is not under any pressure to break a story by being first on the air, but by 11:00 PM they are in a good position to debunk whatever inane bullshit was conjoured out of thin air by cable news that very day.

"The patsy and his controllers have been found
Too many pictures got out of the Boston marathon to avoid this inevitability. This is developing, but it appears that two CIA or other handlers wearing earpieces and backpacks were controlling a patsy to do this bombing. Since other people are working on this (many many people comparing photos) I am going to ignore this topic until someone really pastes it all together. I do not need to spend time on this type of investigation when thousands of others are happy to do it and are posting their results.

[steam_cannon]

The FBI just held a press conference and has released images of suspects who were seen putting the bombs in place. They advise that people look for these men.

Suspect 1


Suspect 2 who was on camera planting one of the bombs.

The people in the pictures "vision-master" posted are not suspects and other news sources like Reddit are taking those pictures down so innocent people don't get needlessly harassed.

How are those two ppl by-standers? Clearly they are law enforcement.

Tell me about this?

Boston marathon runner Alastair Stevenson says that before the explosions erupted at the Boston Marathon this morning, he was told by police over the loud speaker that bomb squads and bomb sniffing dogs were part of a ‘training exercise’.

What is more telling is that all those freedoms we gave up after 9/11 and all that militarization of law enforcement and the billions spent on homeland security did nothing to make us any safer. We had law enforcement running a drill to prevent a bombing when an actual bombing was taking place. All the hyper alertness and bomb sniffing dogs were for naught. Some guy festooned in all that assault gear standing on a street corner is nothing more than eye candy for statist control freaks. With all that hardware, and nothing to do boredom will set in. Being all dressed up with no place to go is an open initiation for somebody to act out.

Then somebody sets up a trebuchet and launches the things into the crowd beyond the perimeter. I think the Palestinians demonstrated that was more than possible with their Quassam rockets.
