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.
The authorities also said two different guys were behind the anthrax attacks. They were certain it was one of them until the other one died.
Never did explain the Florida attack though.
Was this “rope a dope” strategy also behind Chief Moose’s call for a lineup of white men in white vans in the DC sniper case? They had roadblocks and a manhunt in progress for days. The actual perps were even logged passing through several of the checkpoints.
Yet Mr. Moose held to his misinformation scampaign.
Don't worry. They can enhance any video or audio. With all the security cameras in the area they have some good images.
They're releasing this conflicting information for a reason. They say it's from Lord and Taylor yet all the pictures are from the other side of the street, not from the L & T side. And you have to know they had face recognition going on there too. They have it in liquor and jewelry stores, I'm sure they have it at sports events.
Now that I think about it, it was probably the face recognition technology that probably identified a known bad guy at the marathon. That's why all of a sudden the security folks started checking out the hotels just before the bombs exploded.
