I don't know HOW much they cooroperated...again we don't have the whole story.
We don't know the truth...but I am trying to point out a few things that seems to be lost in all of this. They could be innocent...and it is very easy for someone to just make a call and wham...we see what happens. I do not know if there really is a solution to some of these problems. We are on HIGH alert...so I guess everyone involved should understand? I don't know...again it is a touchy issue. I feel sorry for them if they are innocent. Surely you would agree? Regardless of where they are from...they still have rights. Anyway...let's see what new information comes out.
I agree with another poster...the feds might have told the local police to back off. That could explain A LOT! :)
And you are right, anyone could pick up the phone and call, and say something like this, but why? Fifteen minutes of fame? And it might be true that the feds did tell the locals to back off. Who knows? One thing I am sure of, this is going to get investigated in a big way.
These guys are supposed medical students. If they get arrested, they could be kicked out of med school.
You can speculate about everything about these guys and 'try to be fair', but they know that they are held to a higher standard and should have acted accordingly.
As for the woman, bravo. If it looks like a shunk, smells like a skunk, and eats flowers, guess what? It's a skunk.
