The FBI & Black people are PISSED!! The agency along with Boston Police said NO arrests have been made in the Boston Marathon bombing, despite widespread reports that a suspect was in custody in Monday’s deadly attack.
Earlier several media outlets (including BMS…damn they got us!), led by CNN, reported that a suspect had been arrested in the deadly attack that killed 3 and injured 176. But so far no one is in custody.
A suspect in the Boston Marathon bombing has been identified after investigators pored through security video shot near the site of the second deadly terror blast. The suspect was caught on tape carrying — and perhaps then dropping — a black bag containing the explosives on Boylston St. before the twin Monday blasts.
It’s still unclear if the suspect acted alone or whether additional arrests were possible in the terror attacks that killed three and wounded another 183 people during one of the country’s highest-profile sporting events. “All I know is that they are making progress,” said Dot Joyce, spokeswoman for Boston Mayor Thomas Menino.
CNN’s John King (above on the left) caused more drama Wednesday when he said that a potential suspect in the Boston bombings was a “dark-skinned male.”
“I want to be very careful about this, because people get very sensitive when you say these things,” he said. “I was told by one of these sources who is a law enforcement official that this is a dark-skinned male.”
He said that there had been a further description given, but he was refraining from sharing it with viewers.
There are some people who will take offense for even saying that,” he said. “I understand that.”
“We can’t say whether the person spoke with a foreign accent, or an American accent?” Wolf Blitzer asked. “That would be premature.”
King repeated that he was only going to use the “dark-skinned male” description, saying that sometimes information did not turn out to be true.
“I’m making a personal judgment—forgive me, I think it’s the right judgment—not to try to inflame tensions,” King said. “They say it’s a dark-skinned male.”
PBS anchor Gwen Ifill tweeted her disapproval of King’s choice:
