"* Silence from authorities turns coincidence into currency.

* Information vacuums don’t calm the public, they activate pattern-seeking.

* When motive disappears, attention shifts to everything else.

This sentiment has been hitting me squarely in the face on this particular incident with all the accompanying ineptitude when it happened, but...it is equally applicable in nearly anything in the world today when news of events can be found within minutes of it happening, anywhere in the world.

Everything moves at the speed of light with people analyzing information (rightly or wrongly) when the authorities are not honest and forthcoming. Or just incompetent.

Kudos.

I think many are not honest, not forthcoming AND incompetent as well.
