I will say, from appearances, that detective looks like a “boiling pot” to me. Granted, they probably were snapping his picture when he didn’t want them to, but even so.
Interesting that Hamdy is wearing a U.S. Marine t-shirt in that recent photo. Wonder if he was ever in the Marines. Hopefully some reporter will do some digging into his record...if that's possible.
