Random FB picture, with "FBI" shopped into a corner. It must be legit! :stongue:
edit: The second photo does seem to be real, but as of yet there's no proof that it actually contained a bomb - right now it's just a bag of suspect. Photo on the left, without any proof that it was even taken at the marathon, is just more conspiracy idiocy.

| But who carries a backpack like that? It does seem odd either way, and even if it was a normal person, it could very well be a backback containing a bomb too. You can't spot a terrorist based on what they look like, so what could it hurt in trying to find that person for questioning? |

Great, now if I ever choose to carry my backpack in a non-traditional manner, I'm going to be accused of terrorism. Why do you want to take away my freedom to choose? Why?!
I think considerably more amateur Facebook sleuthing and speculation is in order - together, the internets will solve this dastardly crime! |

Questioning someone is a bit different than accusing them of terrorism, captain hyperbole.
AT LEAST IT WOULDN'T BE RACIAL PROFILING AMIRITE? |

| It IS racial profiling, though. Only bearded white guys carry backpacks around major cities (and Europe). |

well in crowded areas ppl tend to have the bag infront instead of back so they dont get stolen from.. |

| I mean look at the girl in the pink. She has that "whoa, easy there, terrorist" look on her face. |

And nothing mentioning the photo I posted at all. |

| Which somehow proves its legitimacy? You found it on Facebook. |

Because I'm lazy, I'll just c/p what I posted elsewhere in response to the same photo...
| quote: | Look at what happened to Richard Jewell in regards to the 1996 Olympic Games bombing in Atlanta. When it was leaked that the FBI was treating him as a suspect (despite the fact that he found the bomb before it exploded and worked to clear the area), the media and the rest of the country ran with it and essentially ruined his life. Turns out that it wasn't him, and it took until 2005 to exonerate him after the real culprit plead guilty.
I don't see anything wrong in suspecting the guy, or anybody that seems "suspicious", but I really hope that the internet/media don't pick this up and destroy this dude's life before there's solid evidence that he did it. |
Just sayin'. |

Saying everything on facebook must be false is as stupid as saying that everything on facebook must be true. I never said that's the guy who did it, I posted a ing picture.
Get off my dick. |
