If it is like the Times Square bombing and other events, the perp(s) are trying to leave the city/state/country.
The authorities almost lost out on catching the Times Square bomber (he was caught at the airport).
Every moment counts. Such video images have been released in the past when there is a manhunt (even when it wasn’t even the culprit).
Authorities said that someone must know the guy behind this. Show the picture.
On another thread, one of the “heroes” of the day is now being questioned about his possible involvement. Authorities did the same to Richard Jewell.
They caught the Night Stalker in LA right after releasing his photo. Real quick like. Bunch of his homies caught him and beat em up a little.
Unless the video isn’t as good as they’re saying. And heroes of the day are good people to talk to, they were near by and alert. And there is that school of bad guys that like to stick around, almost all non-insurance fraud arsonists are in the crowd that gathers to watch fires. Actually Richard Jewell is an excellent example of why they shouldn’t be releasing stuff, he never got charged, I don’t even think he got arrested, it was the media that convicted him.
