That is not what I am insinuating. I dont wear a tin hat, I just wonderd why the guy didnt snap a pic of the dirt bag?

Perhaps the guy did take pics of the perp, but the NYT who paid money for the pics didn't feel like giving them ALL away for free on their website. Without having a paper subscription, I cannot say they may have published pics of the perp there where people would have to shell out money to see them.

Maybe he didn't snap a pic of the dirt bag because he was at the bottom of a pile of hero's. I wouldn't want to walk right up to the situation with a camera when all those high emotions are in full play. In fact it does look like he waited until dirt bag had been subdued and still didn't want to get too close to the situation.

He wasn't right next to the perp. By the time he got his camera out of the bag and the lens cap off, the perp was surrounded by people doing what comes naturally.

Sheesh. Some things are self-evident. Only professional photographers keep their cameras armed and ready at all times in case something extraordinary happens in a split second. This guy was an amateur, who at least got his exposure settings right.
