If he was actually injured last night he was probably just trying to hide out and let things die down.... or he was just stupid like most criminals.

Here's what I was talking about last night. Innocent by-stander gets strip searched and hauled off.

They showed it over and over for about 15 minutes on CNN, then no other word on it.

Ok, look at it this way, the cops were on edge, ANYONE at that time could have been a suspect. The cops pull this guy over, he probably got an attitude with them maybe even made some kind of comment to make the cops think he could have been involved... Once they found out he was not they probably dropped it, it was a non story after that and you never saw anything else...
Not every incident is worthy of news coverage or is part of a conspiracy but people with over active imaginations see them everywhere...

Because the media is so terrible at their job. Listen to the police scanner instead of the media "guessing". They are just so incompetent. I saw case after case of the media announcing crap that was just plain wrong.

AND THEN, when they have something happening right in front of them, they can't figure it out. The public often sits there and thinks these folks announcing are pretty smart people. Many are absolute dopes!

I'm not looking at it any way (you are). Just saying they drove off with the guy and we never heard a word since.

Guess it's good on the media for not reporting that the cops made a mistake.

I always thought bloodhounds used a person's scent to track them, but I've always been a husky person myself so could be wrong.

If there was a visable blood trail, they would know exactly where to lead the hounds to pick up the sent.

So much speculation by people that don't have the facts.

It was sickening to watch the news coverage these last few days. I'm going to give you a few examples of how poor a job our news reporters are doing these days. Add to that the speculation on the interwebs, and it's just sad.

1) Social Media sites published pictures and names of people who were then persecuted because kids on the internet don't know how to check facts and want to become detectives.

2) I watched Wolf Blitzer yesterday have a reporter tell him what was going on, and EVERY time he would imply something else.
Example-
Reporter: 1 Grenade and 5 pipe bombs were thrown from the car. 3 pipe bombs didn't explode.
Blitzer: So, the police following the car were injured by the pipe bombs?
Reporter: No, 1 grenade & 5 pipe boms were thrown from the car. 3 pipe bombs didn't explode.

Reporter: So police are saying that Suspect 1 got out of the car, then was run over by his brother. They transported him to the hospital where he was pronounced dead
Blitzer: So Suspect 2 killed Suspect 1 by running him over with the car?
Reporter: No, (repeats what he said the first time)

3) Then you get the conspiracy theorists who just confuse the issue with nonsense.

We should be focusing on the victims of the bombing, and I hope that most of you didn't spend the entire time in front of the TV watching this.

The stuff I just posted was from the few short periods of time when I was just trying to get an update on what was happening.
