It is WRONG to recklessly post pictures of "suspected bombers" [View all]

There are a few threads going on posting pictures of specific individuals who may or may not have played any role in the Marathon bombings. It is extremely irresponsible for people to be posting pictures of individuals on the Internet, especially in today's society when finding out someone's personal information is so easy.

There are nut jobs everywhere and the damage done to people whose information is recklessly posted in connection with these bombings will be irreversible.

So please show some discretion and common sense. If you think you've spotted something suspicious, send it to the appropriate authorities. Don't just post it online for Internet Vigilantes to do as they please. There are serious consequences to these actions.
