    There is a lot of stuff circulating, much of it I'm sure completely innocent and unrelated. This guy could have 12 beers in that backpack.

    Not turning anything into a witch hunt. There is a lot of this stuff around. This one just surfaced right as the news broke that there might be a photo of a suspect.

    Yes, let's hope whomever's name comes out first, it's the guy who actually did it this time.

    I really don't get this whole media topic of is it foreign or domestic... does it really matter?

    I agree with what you say. If it is, it is. If not, sucks to be him.

    However, I heard its a dark skinned individual. But I guess we will find out.

    Yes, it matters a lot I should think. If it's foreign, that brings up a LOT of issues that a domestic attack wouldn't. I mean, if 9/11 had been domestic, there never would have been a war for the next 12 years and counting. The distinction makes a world of difference.

    The picture I posted came across my Facebook feed. My understanding is that reddit has blown up with images like this. Not just of this guy, of many different people.

    Agreed

    Foreign means a lot more to the powers that be than domestic

    Well, probably not. But it definitely could cause some difficulties... Not that I blame JimmyV for posting it. Of course these kinds of things are going to draw some attention, and it's human nature to look at them. I mean, that was probably the most interesting photo I've seen today. :willshrug:

    i think the opposite...cos a foreign its easy to answer why..domestic will have a lot of questions and alot of conspiracy theories

    Yes, that is true I guess. I was thinking the opposite... if it's domestic, it doesn't really change the fact that foreign extremist still hate us. But you are right, if it's a case of Islamic extremist terrorism, it could start another bad chain reaction. Hopefully this administration will have a better approach.

    But if it is domestic, that is can amplify a lot of other craziness in our country. The anti-gov't crowd will have more over-reaching policies to rail against, and the anti-gov't/anti-Obama hatred will get ratcheted up another notch.

    So I guess my question was a dumb one. We're screwed either way.... :(

    The images which have been identified came from Lord and Taylor across Boylston Street.

    I hope this does not turn out to be another case of the media jumping the gun.

    Best case scenerio (considering the circumstance) is that it is a lone wolf wacko and was not coordinated by a group.

    A lot of the people our government has caught (or as some suggest "tricked") have been operating by themselves.

    I edited the image link out of my original post but it has been quoted a bunch of times. Sorry If I contributed to a witch hunt, not my intent.
