anthemforadoomed Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Boston is a diverse city. The bombs make it look like it was a domestic attack. Jumping to conclusions and making accusations isn't helpful it just makes shit worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebiglebowski Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Boston is a diverse city. The bombs make it look like it was a domestic attack. Jumping to conclusions and making accusations isn't helpful it just makes shit worse. Everyone has their reasoning. I wouldn't sentence the guys in that photo to death based on the evidence I've seen. But it seems like it is going in that direction. I'm not saying I'm wrong or right. Just...where I'm at.

futures Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 http://www.buzzfeed....ce-lgbt-liaison in that article, theres two very similar photos, the second one is the one SI is using. *im not saying anything against those photos, they're both real, but people are saying the cops werent there. also...what photo did the NY post run? heres the actual SI cover *part of me was hesitant to post this, but the image is so powerful. ill take it down if need be. or please delete. Thanks for the clarification. I don't see how it can be photoshopped for a couple reasons - if those shadows cast onto the asphalt are fake, those are the best fake shadows I've ever seen. & to have been fabricated in the amount of time between shooting the photo and publishing it (which, in our modern times, is usually within seconds of eachother thanks to wifi-enabled memory cards and dongles) seems unlikely. Also, you can see the difference in skin tone on the runner if you compare his left leg to his left arm. His leg looks darker because of the police woman's shadow casting over him, while the light on his arm isn't being obstructed by anything but the haze of smoke. This would be easier to photoshop, but still unlikely in the timeline. (Disclaimer: I don't know what time the photo was taken vs. the time it was published initially, this is just based on how modern journalism works.) Overall, it's tough to tell where a light source is coming from (aside from shadows) with such a huge diffusion screen (the smoke) filtering the light in such a way. It's bouncing around from all sides in situations like that. But hey, anything's possible with today's technology. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

collectivemike Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 That photo definitely isn't edited.... I saw that one on the day of. They definitely zoomed in from the original photo but they were definitely all in those positions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can sit here and pick these photos apart, haha but working with SI photographers in the past and numerous times working with globe photograhpers, both these companies wouldnt 'shop a photo. they are way better than that. and yes i agree anything is possible with todays technology. That photo definitely isn't edited.... I saw that one on the day of. They definitely zoomed in from the original photo but they were definitely all in those positions. yeah heres the original, SI cropped it. The crop works too IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yocaseycasey Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 This still makes me feel like shit. Just like the day of Sandy Hook, my whole day was just a mess. It's good to see that everyone here feels the same way. I am glad that I waste time on the internet with good people. noalarmplanet 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

futures Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Evidently authorities are looking for an individual in a white baseball cap. "The sources identified the person as a man wearing a white baseball cap. One of the sources added that the cap was on backwards and the man was also wearing a light-colored hooded sweatshirt and a black jacket. The second source said investigators have not identified this person." -CNN http://i.imgur.com/RQNY9gl.jpg ...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebiglebowski Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Evidently authorities are looking for an individual in a white baseball cap. http://i.imgur.com/RQNY9gl.jpg ...? Doesn't have the hat on backwards in any of those pics and doesn't seem like there is room for a hooded sweatshirt under that jacket. I'm starting to regret commenting earlier that "it seems like everything fits" with an islamic angle. I bought into those pictures. But then I look again and see backpacks all throughout the pictures and obviously, only two of them contained bombs. Un-jumping to a conclusion. My bad.

thebiglebowski Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Apparently they have this guy with the backwards hat talking on the phone and are going through the cell tower data to trace it back to him. Really hoping he didn't think far enough ahead to use a burner or a stolen cell phone. Hopefully they can get whoever he was talking to as well.
