This story causes so many mixed emotions for me. Friday Morning when they 1st released the photos of the two "middle eastern" boys (that were persons of interest at the time) I read an article about the incident and they were showing pictures of other pedestrians with large "suspicious backpacks". But it was a screenshot of a post (i'm assuming from a forum) by someone Anonymous, and it's still messing with me.
Pretty much the Poster was saying that they worked for some type of secret service, and how this was all staged. He continued on to say how they were going to pin this whole thing on : "...A white male in his early twenties..." Mind you this was WAY BEFORE the media released the pictures of the two real suspects. He said the casualties were real but the events were staged. Later that night after hearing it was two white males as the suspects I started to discredit how accurate the poster was, UNTIL I heard about how THE OLDER brother is now dead, and so now the sole suspect is the younger brother, or as the poster said " a white male in his early twenties" (19 to be specific).
Now to address the comment about " if you are innocent why not turn yourself in?.....why are you carrying a gun?...and why did you kill that officer?" Well think about it like this.... IF you were innocent and your face is PLASTERED ALL OVER AMERICA as a murderer and a terrorist....would you not be scared?? And now that there are angry people out there that want to harm you...would you not carry a gun also?? And I'm a "see to believe it" type of girl...there were no other witnesses to the officer getting shot. so unless they have that on video, I remain to be skeptical.
And I don't know about the rest of you but if I was ACCUSED of doing all these things KNOWING I didn't do it...i wouldn't be so fast to turn myself in. why would I?... So they can put me in jail for life for something I didn't do...or to EVEN sentenced me to death? Nope not me. And maybe the older brother had a "they'll never take me alive to jail for something I didn't do attitude" IDK. I'm just confused.
Now hearing about this witness watching the younger brother put the bag down...is making me more suspicious. MAYBE it's just a New Yorker thing, but ever since 911 we don't play around with things like that. There's a campaign on subway ads that say " If you see something suspicious, report it"...and it shows a black duffle bag alone under a seat.
So this witness WATCHED the brother put the bag down and leave, but never tapped him and said "hey you left your bag!"?? or when he seen the bag was left there without it's owner...he didn't seek out a officer to report it?? Sounds mighty strange to me....
I don't want anyone to think that I'm DEFENDING these boys because thats the last thing I want to do. I just feel that there are alot of strange things surrounding this incident.
And I don't think It's "disgusting" for this woman not to trust the Government...because trust me there are some corrupt things going on up there, weather you believe it or not. And as a "younger" citizen growing up....we see it more. But I feel that their Mother has a RIGHT to question the government. SHE RAISED them so weather her beliefs are right or wrong...she can believe what she wants because no one has been around those boys more than her.
Let Animal control come and take your precious furbaby away and say that they ripped some mans head off....would you believe everything they told you??
LoL.
