I took too long to compose it. And now I see mine is a duplicate.

(9,314 posts)3. Remember when fear gripped many people as police searched for this person?
His bombing spree spanned 20 years, and this is the sketch that the FBI commissioned to be produced. For people who lived through this era, that sketch was ingrained on our brains until the suspect was finally caught. It was truly a terrifying time to live through.
This is a picture of the actual, as the FBI classified him later, domestic terrorist during his short tenure into the working world before the start of the crime spree.
For those of you too young to know about this case, the following is the booking photo of Ted Kaczynski, a Harvard graduate, a professor at Berkley, and the man the public knew only as the Unabomber for a number of years:
I post these because I am surprised the Washington Post did not include this sketch.

They usually trained/ran/swam in the early morning hours & the sweatshirt was their choice of garment. Most other folks wore windbreaker jackets or a sweater

I was tempted to stop and get a new Wal-Mart hoodie, but decided to go with my old, beat-up one.
I'm caucasian, and a card-carrying member of the Vietnam Generation.
