    From the robust description I can tell that the suspect is as white and right-wing as John Allen Muhammad and Lee Boyd Malvo.

  2. Greg83   13 years ago

    Obviously you're being sarcastic but CNN reported that the suspect is an individual with a "dark complexion".

    1. Austrian Anarchy   13 years ago

      The search continues until they find a white guy.

    While I am as appreciative as the next Lib of my right to privacy, I submit to you that that right is somewhat minimized when you are in the "public domain", and I further posit that without security camera[s], this bastard[s] might never have been caught. This assumes they've "got their man". Be careful what you don't wish for.

    1. Greg83   13 years ago

      There's a big difference between a single department store security camera and a wide network of government controlled ones.

  4. Austrian Anarchy   13 years ago

    I hope Richard Jewell has a better alibi than he had last time.

    1. Austrian Anarchy   13 years ago

      And his being dead for 6 years is probably not good enough.
