Boston Marathon Explosion(s)

Unfortunately this is what the world has become. The accused is put on display & sometimes convicted in the media, sometimes years before the trial will actually start. And when he is judged innocent, a lot of time no one knows.

If you think George Zimmerman is innocent, raise your hand.

If you think George Zimmerman is guilty, raise your hand.

I don't know...that's up to the courts to decide....but we do know he shot Trayvon Martin......what we don't know, and will wait to find out, is if it was justified or not. Quite different than putting someone's picture online indicating they are suspicious persons in a mass bombing with nothing to indicate that other than they have a back pack on.

Absolutely agree. Everything is posted online nowadays and it can sometimes hurt an investigation, if not most of the time. Spot on.

As far as if the guys in the photos are innocent, can they sue? Not sure, but a good lawyer might make a case. Otherwise though archer, I think it could be public info or some such. ::shrug::

The pictures are certainly public, but the circles and the notes on the pics are not, they are one man's opinion and could be very damaging. Stuff like this in a blog irritates me.

Ahhh, gotcha. Yea, I agree. Anything BUT the pics should be confidential, but still, the pics shouldn't be out there either. Blogs are damaging and yes, stuff like that on there is even worse. :thumbsup:

Not sure about that, hahahahaha, but either way, I cant STAND how everything gets plastered everywhere nowadays. We could probably go on for DAYS about Facebook for instance, holy moley. Either way, no worries, I'm with ya on this one. Pertinent info should be sent to the authorities, bottom line. F*** blogs.

Kinda felt like posting this off topic cause I'm in a good mood. I could run a marathon to this:

I never looked at the source, I thought those were released by the government to seek the publics help. I agree that it's wrong for a blog to take this on.
