If they have video of Boston bomb suspect, why not show the video?
4/17/2013 | dragnet2

Posted on 04/17/2013 2:54:43 PM PDT by dragnet2

Last reports indicated video of a suspect planting a device was obtained, but there is no ID on the suspect.

If they have no ID on the suspect, would not showing the video to the public possibly reveal who the suspect is? Would friends, family, acquaintances, co-workers or possibly his neighbors be able to ID the suspect?

It's already been announced world wide the video was obtained at one of the bomb sites in front of a retail shop. So it would not seem likely the investigation would be compromised, since the suspect himself would already know they had video of the devise being planted at the bomb site.

If the video was aired, wouldn't it be possible someone out there would be able to identify the suspect?

How could the investigation be compromised at this point, if airing the video could possibly help or assist in identifying the suspect/suspects before they could possible plant more devices?

..that this is all a conspiracy to take the focus away from the real terrorist, who is a Muslim..at first I thought that idea is nutty, its starting to smell like that now.

They certainly were not expecting to lose the Gun Registration vote in the Senate. Even though Lindsey Graham said he was prepared to deliver one of his stellar debate performances. So no surprise that they would use this bombing after the fact to resurrect their tyrannical government policies.

I was going to respond to No. 1...But I saw your reasoning and believe you are absolutely right.

LE: Post the damn picture...this holding back cr** that LE pulls is not always the best path.

Maybe he/they bumped into someone or gave a smart alec remark...like Atta in the parking lot...Maybe there were two and they split up...

You'd better believe the only reason the person in the video isn't being shown ad nausea,, is for the same reason when there is a heinous act perpetrated in your city and mine, the news media never give the real description of a person that committed the crime.

In my city, they might say, "anyone with information on....should call 1800"..,,, or "the suspect is a male between the ages of 18 and 25, 6 ft 250 lbs. Anyone recognizing the suspect......."

No description of race or skin color, if the perp is black.

Occasionally, there might be, "a male between 18-20 yrs., 5 ft 6 in, 130 lbs... brown eyes, brown eyes " usually, referring to Hispanic male.

I'm finding it more common these days for the networks/radio/newspapers to report that there is a search for an individual (usually male) in connection with a crime (rape, murder, assault, robbery). The press will be quite clear as to the type of car he was driving, what he was wearing, etc, but for race and physical characteristics, you need to click the link to the artist's drawing of the suspect or the security camera photos.

Maybe the FBI will post the video and promise to arrest this guy if the Senate reconsiders its gun control vote.

There was a thread earlier today around 2:00 eastern that showed a picture of someone with a white shirt or rag tied around their face. This person was obviously being placed in a police car of some sort. The thread said something about “Suspect arrested. PHOTO”. It was subsequently pulled when the report came that there was no arrest. Any idea what that picture and thread was about? Did you see it?

He needs time to leave the country?

Shades of Charles Bishra/Bishrop. The Tampa teen terrorist who flew a stolen plane into a bank building in November 2001. We were told he was a “young conservative”, etc and that it was not terrorism. Except the suicide note in his pocket DID call it terrorism (scratched out by someone but you can see the word in the photo on the smoking gun website). He also pledged his support to Bin Laden in the letter. It was suppressed until after the Super Bowl (his letter contained a threat against that event). We were told it was pimple cream what made him mad. Authorities had the answer at the scene of the crime and suppressed it. Just because we are told that something “is not terrorism” doesn’t rule it out.

Because people with investigative experience have a plan to get more than just one guy and are playing this to get the most productive outcome. This ain’t amateur night.

It was a satire thread that was pulled. Someone pointed out that the officers in the photo were from LA and it was at night.

The rumor from an anonymous whistle blower is that they will announce the suspect is caught on Friday. He will be a NRA supporter and will have used gunpowder in the bombs. That will allow the tyrants to ban ammo and gunpowder. That is the rumor.

Want to make sure there is some way to pin it on a conservative?

Bret Baer on FNC, has just finished saying, "most people believe the bomber is 'home grown,' with only 20% believing him to be foreign, 19% don't know!"

I guess, the MSM has pounded the "disaffected male, acting alone but belonging to conservative groups and a gun collector."

Perhaps they don’t want whoever lives with him to know it’s him. Or for him to know it’s him.
