I looked at the pics in the article.
The guy in question didn’t look dark skinned at all.
Besides, I think he’s a red herring - there’s no way he’d be close to where the bomb was going off unless he were stupid.
true....profiling goes two ways....its a good start trying to identify people and a good start to eliminate people...
And vice-versa.
Hey, we’ve got a big Amish community down here in Sarasota and they get pretty tan hanging out on Siesta Key Beach. So, I’m going with that.
I would not say lots of Muslims are white as we consider white
Bosnians
Most are swarthy....black or Oriental
Very few white as in typical peckerwood
The subject doesn’t look very dark skinned to me.
Why aren’t we looking at women on an equal basis as the men?Women are too busy planning their parenthood.
Lots of Lebanese look quite white although they may have thick eyebrows and dark tight hair.

Ditto. The guy in the photos looks white.
The media seems preoccupied with pinning it on the wounded white guy who ran away instead of crouched despite the fact that police said it was a dark skinned male who dropped off the bomb.

The picture of the guy running away tells you nothing - running away was a perfectly logical thing to do. Also, you’ll notice there are other people running away. And a remote controlled or timing device, but he was so close that it blew his pants off?
There is nothing suspicious about the man in those pictures. That’s not the suspect.
can anyone point to the pics or the video of the guy dropping off the back pack?
The guy in the pics is not the suspect.
Not sure how much credence I give this.
the only think I’ll say about the guy running away is that it seems he started to run early....meaning that everyone else is stunned/paralyzed yet he is running....perhaps if this is the guy, he set the bomb ticking and then had 5 secs to move away from it....just saying....
I figured he wasn’t the droid they were looking for.
Agreed. This guy looks more likely:
and the guy standing next to him - dressed almost exactly the same
“Saying someone is dark-skinned is saying something a lot broader than “African-American”.
A good example is Barack Hussein Omoslem.
50% white. 44% arab. 6% black.
