Please, don't turn this into a flame war. Lets stick with the questions that demand answers.
Lets ask the tough questions regarding why they didn't use the publics help in identifying the suspect *if* they had the video tape evidence long ago. This crime occurred about 3 weeks ago, and was just reported.
Why did they wait to report this? Did law enforcement inform the media? Was the media or law enforcememt involved in failing to put out this information? If so why?
This story is too important and there seem to be legitimate questions regarding why it wasn't reported until 3 weeks after this terrible crime.
Forget the flames, lets ask the tough questions here.
Does anyone recognize anyone on this video? Can you add any questions below that can be forwarded to the right people. I can do that. Here are mine.
1. When did the law enforcement in that jurisdiction have custody and possession of the video tape evidence?
2. Were the tapes given to any news agencies? Who had possession of the tapes and for how long prior to giving them to law enforcement? Were the tapes recently turned over to authorities?
3. If law enforcement had possession of the video for weeks, why did they wait to go public and show the suspects, that could result in their identification?
4. Why have there been no arrests? Is it due to lack of identity of the suspects?
5. Who is handling the investigation, and when were they assigned the case? When did they start their search for the suspects?
When did they find out there was video tape evidence of this brutal crime?
6. Are the suspects regular patrons of the bar?
7. Were the suspects cash paying customers or did they use other means to make purchases?
8. Does the bar utilize video tape for security? If so, where is it?
I'd say the media, the Mayor and Chief of Police have have a lot of very demanding questions to answer.
I'd just like to bring your attention to this.
Thanks.

I live in the general area and I honestly can't say there is a representative among that list who, by past actions, would make me think he / she cares.
BTTT. This article does have my self-control stretched a bit thin, though. I respect your wishes, however.
How did I know what they would look like before I viewed the video? But I did, right down to their worn-backwards caps and rear-end cleavage. But I don't move in their circle so unfortunately I can't help identify these "veterans"...of crime.
sickened ping...

Gosh I hope these criminals are caught.

That's an understatement. But that's the extent of my "criticism" of your response. Your 8 questions would provide a good starting point for them.
Ok - I'm sick and angered at once. I certainly hope they are caught and then taken care of appropriately and promptly. Prayers for complete recovery for the two heroes.
Good questions, all.
As I said in the pulled thread, the site of the crime is heavily Democrat.
Maybe it is my OS, but the video is not watchable due to distortion. Anyone have a better link?
Video requires a download of the quicktime player. Anyone have written account of what happened?
Any pics of the perps?
Gangbangers is right. New Orleans is FULL of them. Particularly in the housing projects. These vermin need killin (as Uma Thurman in Kill Bill would describe it)
I couldn't get the video to play, but maybe the server is short on bandwidth and overloaded right now or something. Anyway, they claim to have the video on this local news site.
They did WHAT?!
I'll ante up for bounty. Anyone got contact with a hunter?
Good questions, but don't hold your breath waiting for the Mayor, the media or the police chief to issue any answers. Seattle is the belly of the beast when it comes to PC liberal idiocy.
I would hazard to guess that had the two GIs been black and the attackers white, this videotape would have been on the national news quite some time ago.
"I'd say the media, the Mayor and Chief of Police have have a lot of very demanding questions to answer."
Here's a question I'd like answered. When are they going to put up slots on the firing squad up for bid? I'd like to be one of the people to help turn these dirtbags turn into pink clouds.
Wished those soldiers had kicked violent criminal lefty rear. It is a scandal when Washington is worse than Iraq.
