No kidding.

Especially since the 4chan script kids had the thing pretty much figured out the day of and shopped it all to the Feds.
Now days later the Feds are claiming a recent (today) huge breakthrough.

Hey Trex... the FBI suspects aren't in one of those photos on that website.

Obviously. Sneakers for sneaking too.

And sports related activities.

Looks like that to me too.
However that was a dump of a lot of different folks highlighted.
4chan claims it picked out ONE of the two suspects and made it public day of.
So I assume they are saying one of them is on that screen dump.

On another note Anonymous without actually saying so is assumed to have possibly provided information concerning the alleged Rehtaeh Parsons rape.
We know Anonymous knows who the 4 guys are and where they live.
But did Anonymous hack into their emails and facebook sites and/or put together incriminating statements or perhaps squeeze some email info out of friends or associates of the 4 alleged rapists or not?
Local Police are saying that they don't spend time communicating with "people behind masks" .
But the investigation did not reopen until Anonymous became involved.

4chan seemed to be working pretty hard on running through all potential Boston suspects captured on video and getting the info out into the public domain.

I am not sure the public should be taking the lead on this stuff.

Ahh... well... the suspects that the FBI has picked out. Possibly the fuzziest photos taken that day. Geez what a bum break.
Kinda like how Big Foot photos are blurry and don't give a yes or a no? Why were there so many people with backpacks? Where was FBI & HLS when it came to site security?

Then they would required at every large sporting event in the country. From basketball to tractor pulls. Not going to happen.

Big mistake, goob. Now you'll be deluged by idiots who will try to assert that security on a hockey rink or basketball court is the same thing as security on twenty-six miles of public roads.

Already is that way. Where have you been hiding?

Not to the level it would require to make it nigh onto impossible to plant a bomb or bring in a gun.

Any small group could have placed themselves on the top of a low rise and killed dozens or hundreds with the right guns, small bombs going off, herding the crowd into a kill zone.

Yeah. Frankly, we're pretty lucky that most terrorists are knuckleheads and lunatics who can barely function. A professional, or even a reasonably intelligent person, could easily make things WAAAAAAAY worse.

Yeah, apparently the Unibomber has an I.Q. of about 170. But socially f**kin' stupid!-:)

When was the last time you went to a Oilers or Eskies game or even Canada Day fireworks or a concert in the park? They shake down everybody.

Junos are on this weekend in Regina. The place is crawling with cops especially around venues and in the bars.
