So, Who Are They? On Release of Marathon Suspect Pics, Boston Media Says, “Don’t Stereotype” (Not Said of White Males)
There’s a reason I generally refer to the FBI as Famous But Incompetent. It is. Both. And, now, there is the latest set of photos. The FBI is releasing these photos and video of two guys in baseball hats who are now apparently suspects, but it won’t release other video footage that allegedly shows the conduct of the two, with the one in the white baseball hat apparently planting the backpack with the explosives that killed three and maimed so many at the Boston Marathon, Monday. That’s, at least, according to FBI Boston Special Agent in Charge Richard Deslauriers. We’ll see. So, who are they? And if they did it, why? This already debunks Janet Napolitano’s claim that this was a “lone wolf” operation. In fact, we know–if these are the guys–that there are two wolves, at least. Are they Muslims? They sure look too young to be Tea Partiers, despite what the media and lefties are wishing for. What do you think?
Reader Lisa of the Boston area says this:
Local news is mentioning over and over to be careful to not ‘stereotype”….oh really? What are the odds that these people are white American? Unless they are dopey college kids that were approached by terrorists and offered a huge sum of money to drop the backpack……and sorry, one of the guys doesn’t look wWhite to me.
Hmmmmm. Interesting. The media usually doesn’t tell people “not to stereotype” White males, so perhaps one of these guys is something other than that, such as the people who come her over the Mexican border who are referred to as “OTM” – Other Than Mexican.
One of ’em looks White to me–the one in the white baseball hat, but it’s nearly impossible to tell from the very grainy pics much about them and their facial features, etc. Again, we’ll see.

“One of ‘em looks White to me”
He certainly seems to have lighter skin but I don’t think he’s white. Maybe its just the fact that I grew up in an Indian American neighborhood, but when I first saw the photo/video, I immediately thought he looked like a North Indian / Pakistani American guy (many of whom are light skinned enough to pass for regular white guys). That, coupled with the memory of Faisal Shahzad’s failed attack on Times Square, and I’m putting money on him being of South Asian decent.
P: I’m not saying it’s not a Muslim or anything like that. Not by any means. We don’t know yet b/c it’s so hard to tell, given the pics and their poor quality. And you make good points. DS
