- "the Redditors faced a simple, but insuperable, obstacle when it came to identifying the Tsarnaevs, namely - charlie Apr 26, 15:15 18
  - I can't recall - did reddit try to identify before those photos came out, aside from the brown student linking from his hs gf? - b. Apr 26, 15:47 4
    - oh yeah, "Findthebostonbombers" was active that whole day and a half before -- nm - charlie Apr 26, 15:50 3
      - I mean actually naming names. -- nm - b. Apr 26, 15:52 2
        
        i don't think they named the Brown student until they heard his name over the scanner when shit was going down - charlie Apr 26, 15:53 1
        
        for sure, his did come earlier as a possibility. - b. Apr 26, 15:55

    - the public was asked to post their photos, but they didn't have access to the store videos, and .. - zeitgeist Apr 26, 15:29
    - i don't think that's necessarily a reason not to try. but it is a reason to take any potential theories or IDs as potentially unreliable - charlie Apr 26, 15:25 9
      - I think there is value (ex.: a lot of the photographic identification was crowdsourced), but no one should look to anyone but authorities for real - b. Apr 26, 15:37 1

        except when you know that the bomb was in a backpack - charlie Apr 26, 15:43 2
        
        Sure, but the vast majority of people with backpacks were innocent. Looking for a guy with a dark backpack wasn't enough; they needed to also find - mara Apr 26, 15:48 1
