No wonder they're so confident about these two. Subhumans.
This is on Lawrence O'Donnell's show now.

(19,877 posts)Maybe they're on the fence and don't know from the grainy photos 100% if it;s their relative but it may give them incentive to break their doubt.

(8,303 posts)The only way a cash reward would help is if these guys have associates somewhere and one of them would rat them out for the money.

(8,303 posts)is so intense that it could not be increased by any monetary award, and I believe that by extension from my own rather visceral reaction.
If those pics were of my husband or son I'd call the FBI.
Before the authorities released anything, people were already trying to run through all the footage they could find. As soon as they were released the same groups and sites shifted to trying to analyze them. I don't believe anything could make the public any more determined to do anything they can to help.
If they have some sort of sleazy confederates, I can imagine that maybe the monetary award might do something, but the general public is already on this case. As soon as the official vids and pics were released, they were downloaded to a number of websites and people started trying to find other shots with them in, and organized attempts to identify clothing and so forth.
There are literally millions of pairs of eyes trying to find something that will help. And I don't think it's just online. I bet you tonight and tomorrow every store that sells pressure cookers will be pulling out these photos and asking their employees if anyone looks familiar. Motels will be asking their employees if they saw these guys.

(16,375 posts)I agree with your take on it.

(38,613 posts)I'm not saying they are wrong, but I still remember the rooftop guy in the earlier photo, who everyone said was "acting suspiciously". I will need to at least see the photo in question.

(39,332 posts)and that seems more explicit, but as everything with this case we'll see.
And it's not a photo it's video so the gesture would be easier to read. They aren't releasing it and I bet it's key to their decision to call them suspects. So it's evidence or something that maybe cannot be put out for all to see.

(38,613 posts)But all I have to go on are the photos and vids they have released. Based on that, I don't have enough information to be convinced of anything yet. I still have no idea WTF happened there.

(39,332 posts)a term like that -- glee was a term they used and that it's pretty clear what is going on. Maybe they cannot release it because it's evidence for later. I bet anyone who knows the guy would recognize such a gesture if it's his "thing".
Maybe more of a "yyess" .. popular these days. Oh and because he wasn't with #1

(61,705 posts)Yeah, they probably have to be careful showing video with their subjective comments that could be called prejudicial.
