Other than appearing to be college-aged kids, I could not determine ethnicity or race (one appears to be darker skinned, I wouldn't say black). Heck, they could be middle eastern and still be American born.

Made me mad - first thing I thought when I saw the one kid was "Columbine-type loner". Just my impression.

The guy in the white hat def looks middle eastern. His pointy nose,chin and beard look very much like a middle eastern.

Wonder how long till more pics of these guys show up from other people.

But then again in one of the other pics I don't think the white guy has a beard. Might just look that way from the pic being blown up.

He may look middle eastern, even to many. But you can't determine that from a blurry photo, which is probably why the FBI just let the pictures speak for themselves. I could just as easily say he looks Hispanic, French or whatever.

May have been by design to "blend in", but I didn't have any feeling that they were even foreign.

Actually, yeah. Couldn't pinpoint it, but I recognized some familiar smug look that just makes you want to kick his ass.

One is wearing a Black Bridgestone Golf hat and the White Hat looks like TaylorMade

Both are suspects and we aren't positive if they did it either.

At least we got some good shots of the white hat. Someone should recognize him pretty quickly. The other guy definitely did a lot more to conceal his face, but I think if I knew the guy it might be enough to recognize, at least a similarity.

They wont show us actually "planting" the backpack. Odd.

you are making the assumption that there is footage of them planting the bags.

Explain what you think is sketchy? I think the guy in the video with the Pink Hat looks sketchier.

Or I listened to the press conference where the FBI said they have it on video.

Do they even have footage of that?

What bugs me is the fucking media was talking two days ago about a "white hat" - maybe it doesn't really have an impact with them already running, but they've known for some 48 hours they probably were identified.

The white hat they were talking about before was a completely different person.

Rick Deslauriers (FBI GUY) said they have the White Hat guy putting down his backpack on video. They are choosing not to show the public that, because it's not important. To me that seems important, but maybe they just want help in identifying them.

Maybe that footage also showed victims and they decided it would be insensitive to show it.

The only "important" thing we the public need to see are the pics and video the FBI released. However, if they can get even clearer pics, then we should see those as well. There's no need whatsoever for us to see anything else.

I think the white has is a Ralph Lauren polo hat with a number 3 om the side. On redditt someone already has put a picture up of suspect number 1 from behind

Is this your opinion or are you stating the FBIs?
