Why, because you're forced to actually support your claims and then have to go into duck and hide mode when it becomes clear you can't? CP is great for stuff like this, it doesn't let BS off the hook.

Again, any Alex Jones supporter has zero right to make judgements on anyone. In fact Alex Jones supporters might actually be creating a self fulfilling prophecy. If I was in charge, and I was looking to weed out dangerous people with severe mental illness, I would start looking at his fan base.

Go back and review the 9/11 conspiracy theory thread, before you make that statement.

Last link is not suspect #2. Hat is wrong, and he is standing on the wrong side of the street.

Do you have a credible source for the health concerns about the scanners?

For those interested, Reddit is starting to point fingers at actual people. One guy mentioned apparently went missing a month ago without his phone or wallet. The pics posted look like they could possibly be suspect #2 but it's hard to say.

I'm not going to post links or anything on here of real people.

Read the FDA response in your first link, seems to me that there's little evidence that these machines are an issue. I will concede that the independent study that is the subject of the Atlantic article linked above is something that should have been carried out before use, not after.

Has anyone heard anymore about the other unexploded bombs they found?

THe vast majority of people there seem to be strongly discouraging any names be mentioned or individuals pointed out in the thread, which is good to see. Pass along info to the FBI, they can do a lot more with it than any redditor.

No, because there were none.

It's pretty creepy that you can see yellow balloons, just like the ones that are being carried by the lady in front of the suspects in the FBI video, float away from right beside the explosion in the original boston globe vid.

Woah... this is also creepy, shows victims of the bomb, standing in the crowd before the explosion, don't really get the point of it but it's definitely a little scary: http://i.imgur.com/u5NC4zJ.jpg

Wow, speaking of rich - Gawker unloading on NY Post. Article definitely has some valid points, but not sure Gawker has much of a leg to stand on when it comes to crap news stories and writing. I think I read 1-2 poorly researched articles on Gizmodo a week, alone.

Credit for what? (Honest question as I just don't understand what all these pictures mean)

Are these suspects? Why are they suspicious?

Well to be fair, they need to top their previous great works

[Ducay]

This is the best pic of suspect #2 from reddit thus far; same hat, jacket, hoodie, face. Oh, and no he has no backpack
Far left side

NSFW!

[metallicat]

That is eery. Especially how he seems to be somewhat casually walking away from the scene. Jeez.

[Ozy_Flame]

His direction can help police out considerably .... Looks like he's turning a corner for a planned getaway most likely. Guys like these probably know where to go and when.
