Okay curious, because that is almost verbatim what they said on the presser.

I disagree, but to each his own.

Seriously? Honestly, I wasn't plagiarizing anyone (I didn't see the press conference), I was just giving my opinion. Crazy.

Could be they wanted to hold it back so they could verify any witness testimony (that is, a witness comes forward and ID's the guy saying they saw him drop the bag; feds can now ask them to describe him dropping the bag and compare to what they have on video).

And I didn't take it that way. It just took me by surprise that I presumably said the same thing as was said in the presser, that's all.

You better hope not. Plagiarizing the FBI won't end well for you.

Another pic, this one post-bombing. Is that the same guy in the white hat?

That's def him. No backpack. And I was wrong. That kid looks white not middle eastern at all.

Could be, rocks, you should send it in...who knows? And I don't think you can really tell if he's white or Middle Eastern from this pic-too much distance.

I agree. It looks almost 99.9% the same guy. Also everyone is running away from the blast site. So he could have planted the second bomb.

If a bomb went off and I was holding the book bag in my arm, I would drop it and run too (Just playing devil's advocate here)

I zoomed in as far as I could and it looks like he is just walking away as calm as ever.

That pic is popping up everywhere now. Some saying fake.

I'm just catching up on all the photo stuff. Looks legit to me, fucker is walking all calm and shit. Pisses me off.

Look's like some homegrown fuckhead to me. How long will it take to nab him?

Could be, but I would say early to mid 20s is more likely.

Looking at both together I would say its definitely him. Hat, jacket, hair, nose all look like a match.
