    UPDATE:

    The FBI has released images of two suspects, asking public for help in identifying them.

    http://www.fbi.gov/news/updates-on-investigation-into-multiple-explosions-in-boston/photos

    Their website is getting slammed with visitors right now, though, so it might take a few minutes to load. The Atlantic is also hosting the images.


    Here is a YouTube clip of the surveillance video they pulled the images from. Their faces appear from 0:02-0:06 and 0:23-0:28. They're the two young men, one wearing a black baseball hat and the other a white baseball hat.

    [yt=Surveillance footage]M80DXI932OE[/yt]

    They both appear to be white males in their 20s or possibly late teens.

    So they finally found white men to blame it on? Won't the Communists be pleased.

    It's hard to tell. They could be white or they could be middle eastern (who are essentially white). One of them does look white to me though.

    If they had any brains at all, they've disguised themselves to the hilt and are laying as low as possible.

    Which means they're probably tagging Facebook pictures of themselves making the bombs right now.

    Yeah... no, that's not going work that way sparky.

    It just shows that you don't have the capability to do what a 7 year old could do. That would be using Google effectively. It has more uses than searching for pictures of tractors.

    Dayton thinking hard.

    The one with the white cap looks like a younger Joe Namath. I wonder if they did it or if the cops just decided to quit fucking around and take the pressure off by holding up a picture and saying "these are you bombers". It happens, ask richard jewel.

    Actually, the media was almost entirely to blame for ruining Richard Jewell's life. Particularly the NY Post, which started the rumor of "the Saudi national being held as a suspect" in this case. Which has proven to be completely unfounded.

    The images of these suspects, however, are coming straight from the law enforcement team investigating the case, rather than the news media trying to fill their 24-hour cycle. They would have to have pretty good reason to a) release the images and b) ask for the public's help in identifying the suspects.

    I'm a little sad that I have to point this out to the liberals here, but Cronkite was a network news anchor while Stewart has a comedy show on a cable network.

    They're liberals. You can't honestly expect them to know the difference.

    Are you fucking kidding? Those guys aren't white. Look at the nose on that fucker in the white hat. They are definitely middle eastern.

    Which means muslims.

    The proper term is "swarthy".

    Where is Borgs, BTW?

    Hey, c'mon man, that's not fair.

    That's like asking him if he's stopped beating his wife.

    Also, check this out:

    Note the girl with the sunglasses next to the guy circled in blue, and the suspect walking away behind her - apparently the bomb is sitting right next to her.

    [​IMG]

    Now, see this one taken after the bomb went off:

    [​IMG]

    EXCEEDINGLY fortunate individual.

    Oh by the way, look at the corner of the building to the far left and who do you see?



    Let's also note for the record the placement of the bomb by the scummy son of a bitch, mere feet from a young child (is this the boy who was killed?)

    The one in the white hat looks like Chad, and the other one looks like Volpone.

    The newer pictures are making it more and more clear they're white.

    Or they're registered Democrats like James Holmes and Adam Lanza. Oh, wait -- were we not supposed to know that? :blush:

    If someone looked me right in the eye, dropped a bag at my feet and walked away...I would be screaming my head off and getting the fuck away.

    There is just no scenario where that is normal.
