Only a suspect at this time. As much as I want to see this person, currently there is not charge.

With the timing of it, I'm leaning towards home grown nutter rather than religion of peace this time around.
Are you incapable of reading? Obviously so. As already pointed out that last part is needed and unwarranted. I pointed out I felt it to be an inappropriate usage of the word.
I am sure all the internet detectives can high-5 away if they correctly identified one of the perpetrators - alternatively they can just keep quiet and slink away in under their pseudonyms if they are wrong and some poor blokes life got ruined.
Someone on the radio earlier from the US was saying it could take them a while to get through all the evidence they have. By that he meant everyone pretty much has a phone with a camera, it was televised, cctv, pictures from people at event. All has to be checked thoroughly and could take time.
My question is in such an event do you think if they collected together everything they had and posted them up on a domain for people to view then the 'internet' could help? Not quite on the same level but some of the detective work on here is impressive at times and if you through enough people at something they can surely help spot something that maybe be missed. Huge amount of people on 4chan/reddit/something awful etc.. all these resources pooled could help make the work much easier.

Of course, I have always felt the most appropriate reaction to any crime or tragedy is a witchhunt carried out by people with inadequate training or with any thought whatsoever for the consequences of their actions. What exactly happens when such people prejudice evidence and trials of guilty parties?
They wouldn't announce this now at risk of making a mistake with the suspect surely?
That's already pretty much happened.
Keep being offended on behalf of other people, go you.
The way he's standing suggests he might have the bag down by his legs and be holding onto the straps, as he's in a crowded area and swinging a backpack around every time you look a different direction can be a pain in the arse to people around you.
I certainly take my backpack off in crowded areas, I don't think those pictures show anything. You could find hundreds of suspicious things like that by trawling through pictures and choosing specific images of random people.

You're special, I like you.
CNN are saying that this person is being treated as highly suspect by the FBI and authorities. Deb Feyerick reporting says that the photographer who took these pictures to make the gif below has been spoken to by authorities about him and what he seen, how he moved etc
No confirmation if this person is the suspect that's been taken into custody. There's a press conference to happen at 5PM local time, it's 2PM there now.

BBC reporting that there will be a press conference about the arrest at 22:00. I do hope that they have a perpetrator.

Was watching the Fox news live stream there and they have just been told that no arrest has been made, despite reporting it earlier. Seems to me that nobody really knows for sure yet.
Apparently there was meant to be at 1PM but got changed to 5PM.
hahaa the woman on CNN just said "the leaks.. err.. the reports coming out, we're bound to hear more in the next hour, hour and a half".
Soldato
fox news is not clear whether they have anyone or not.
Not confirmed if they have been arrested, but it seems they could have some one in custody.
As CNN woman said, I'm sure the 'leaked' info will come out in the next hour or so!

I think you need to step away from the thread and settle down. The way I read the post is that absolutely no disrespect was meant and for me, none has been caused.
