*breaking news* Boston Marathon explosions

No, it doesn't, its a still image, he could be mistride and actually running faster than anyone else there. Secondly there is a old guy who "appears" to not be moving at all(ok its in the uncropped version of the pic, standing foreground to the right of where the pic is cropped). You have a bald guy standing still looking the other way, you have two people standing a bit further up than the bald guy looking down towards the explosion, you have the lady in the pink jacket on her power walk, you have the guy in the MIT top just walking across the street...etc, etc.

People see what they want to see, its a still, you can't guess his emotions, nor speed, nor motivation by watching, its a picture with a dozen people all reacting completely differently to the explosion, NOTHING makes what he's doing more suspicious than anyone else, nothing at all. Walking away is more suspicious than the people standing watching, or the people running towards the explosion or the ones running away from it, how, this is of course completely assuming he's walking and not running.

Exactly what I was going to say, a still photo is a snapshot in time, it can tell a lot but it also tells very little and can be completely misread. I see a lot of people in that photo who could be walking or just chatting and therefore suspicious by the assumptions made here. I also noted the position of his elbow which also indicates running rather than walking. His expression cannot be assessed from the photo either. So, overall, out of thousands of people present, no conclusion could be made about that person that distinguished him from anyone else in the photo.

Their names give us a clue, what we have learned over the years is that these extremists either born or converted have an Islamic names and these 2 don't.

I don't think you can say for sure. Tripathi seems to be an Indian name and there are many Muslims in India.
 
The whole thing is tragic. Looking at that cached facebook page how did that little kid end up doing this? Not so easy to hate them when you see their family's pain but then you think of another 8 year old who will never have that chance to live life.
 
It's a lockdown. Public transport system has been shut down, asking people to stay at home and businesses to stay shut.

Do these look alike? Really?

Not just the moles but the eyes and mouth.

Have the names offically been released yet? Have you a source for that?

No, they haven't. People should be very careful on names that they post as nothing is confirmed. I'd suggest leaving all names out of all posts for the time being until official confirmation is given to us by the FBI - as it stands they are still listed as "unknown suspects"
 
The guy on that fb page has an Indian sounding name. I don't know of any reason why Hindus would have beef with anyone. I am confused.

From reddit so take with salt: EDIT 5:31 EDT: To stop confusion: Naked Man = Fake Suspect. Black Hat = first real suspect, dead. White Hat = Still on the run. No more numbers from me.
