    The bomb was hidden, I guess...

    So the clip put forward as an example of foreshadowing an event actually did not foreshadow it at all......

    I see whats happening here

    To be fair I don't think that is what has happened here.

    American Government need to catch someone for this. And they very soon will. But will it be the right person, or just a person that fits the profile?

    In truth, while this is not very palatable, whoever they catch it will be a plus for Obama.

    If it's anyway Al-Qaida related or international, then it gives him more scope for action when necessary.

    If it's a right-wing Patriot type nut, it hardly helps the Tea Party movement or the Republican cause.

    Move on from discussion about the Family Guy clip.

    No one was saying that it was in any way hinting at what was going to happen. Merely that it's a coincidence that in all the years Family Guy has been running, they have a clip of people being killed in the Boston Marathon within a few weeks of this bomb incident. That's all, just coincidence.

    why,
    this boston marathon is a family day out, people taking part, family members waiting at finishing line,
    a beautiful little boy waiting to hug his father at the end of marathon died, a family that went out for the day to a day filled with excitement and fun, end up living the biggest nightmare any family can face,
    people loosing limbs, their lives changed forever, it is shocking,
    did those who did this know that this is a big family event with people from many countries taking part.
    it is frightning,
    where are people safe anymore,
    i do hope they are caught,

    whilst the death of children is always tragic, the death of white children in America is no more tragic than the deaths of 'little brown children' in Afghanistan, yet when the Deh Bala massacre was finally proven to have involved so many civilians the world responded with a collective 'meh'

    watched CNBC on the night it happened...this was actually said (in an emotional manner with pause)

    "in the city famous for heartbreak hill........today...it's just heartbreak ....."

    It's a tabloid leaking photos allegedly used by the official investigation to presumably sell more newspapers

    This happens all the time and would appear to contradict notions that somehow "mainstream media" is tightly controlled by the authorities

    A leak from the official investigation is a little different from teenagers on 4chan suspecting every single person with a backpack


  • Subscribers Posts: 19,425 ✭✭✭✭Oryx


    The problem for the 4chan sleuths is that their proposed suspects still have the damn backpacks on AFTER the bombs have gone off.

    Are you actually defending the publishing of the photos on the front cover of a major American Daily of two individuals alluding to their involvement in a horrific terrorist attack based on absolutely **** all?

    At least 4chan aren't being discriminatory if what you are saying is true. The New York Post has managed to find the Muslims with a backpack. This just days after they were pushing the Saudi "suspect". A suspect because he was running away from a ****ing bomb scene!

    Nope, for obvious reasons.

    You appear to have decided the ethnicity and you've also decided that the issue is discrimination.

    Let me explain how it works: Everyone is a suspect, regardless of skin colour or ethnicity. If the investigators release photos to the public to help identify suspects, this is normal.

    A group of teenagers on the internet playing internet sleuth is very different from a magazine, tabloid or newspaper unofficially leaking photos from the actual investigation itself. Both are equally idiotic.

    Glad we could clear that up.

    1. Being Muslim isn't an ethnicity.
    2. You are wrongly assuming that I don't know the religious affiliation of the guy on the front cover of the Post.

    Unlike some people I am willing to find out information for myself and not be spoon fed by media waiting for them to tell me what to think.

    Okay, cool. Since it's so perfectly "normal" could you share the front cover stories alluding to non-Muslims in the crowd being the terrorist.

    Cheers.

    A little scepticism wouldn't go astray here. We don't know that the NY Post, Netanyahu's BFF Rupert Murdoch's mouthpiece simply didn't rip the photos from 4chan or looked for brown skinned people with a backpack to insinuate that Muslims were behind the attack.

    There is no evidence of any "leaking" only claims.

    Being Muslim isn't an ethnicity

    Actually . . . (double checks Collins Dictionary definition) . . . yes, it is.
    Ethnic

    adjective
    1. relating to or characteristic of a human group having racial, religious, linguistic, and certain other traits in common
    2. relating to the classification of mankind into groups, esp on the basis of racial characteristics
    3. denoting or deriving from the cultural traditions of a group of people ⇒ the ethnic dances of Slovakia
    4. characteristic of another culture ⇒ the ethnic look, ethnic food

    haha that's exactly the same image the Post used that was "leaked" to them :pac:

    By the way, what's your point?

    As CBS' John Miller reports, neither man is likely to be a suspect in the bombings, and these are not the pictures of the possible suspects that authorities plan on releasing. But I didn't need John Miller to tell me that— the "persons of interest" in the photos are two local kids who had already been checked out by Reddit and other message-board "crowd-sleuthing" efforts yesterday, and found to be a incredibly unlikely suspects.

    That the auld discrimination angle fell fairly flat on it's face.

    Is the NYPost discriminating against Muslims? they posted the same suspects that 4chan did.

    Here's some more interesting detective work from the non-investigators (or perhaps they are just "discriminating" against white and black guys)

    They are probably employed as under cover security for the event. They use private contractors for war so I'm sure they do much the same for 'homeland' as well. There's always money for private contactors so they can cut back on money for those awful socialisty public employee type persons. ;)
