    Holy crap, the guy in that photo with his legs blown off may have helped ID the bombers.

    You must have missed those old high school kids in Little Rock that threatened to lynch blacks for attending their school.

    I was about to post that story. Amazing that he had the presence of mind to take that mental note, but at the same time, is it really wise to publicize that you're the best shot at ID'ing one of the bombers when said bombers are still on the loose?

    If I hold a key to ID'ing one of these guys, I'm not talking to anybody but the feds until they get caught. I sure as shit wouldn't want them knowing I can ID them and snuffing me out. If they can sneak two bombs into the marathon, who knows if they could infiltrate the guards at the hospital and silence me forever.

    I don't think anybody could get near him. The cops have got the hospitals locked down tight where the victims are located.

    You mean it wasn't everyone fucking around on Reddit who solved the case?

    Just wondering why the surveillance video is of such poor quality.
    Phones that take video in HD are pretty commonplace.

    It appears that one of the bombers is wearing a Bridgestone Golf cap. I really, really hope we don't see Darren Rovell tweeting out how much all that free advertising is going to be worth for Bridgestone.

    This is also floating around on Facebook as a possible picture of the suspect in the white hat: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10200425491872236&set=a.1231720685525.159892.1604384014&type=1
