1. wow, interesting wrinkle

[ForgoTheConsequence]

2. This is blowing my mind.

3. Very interesting; I didn't know some of those details.

[cthulu2016]

4. That's an interesting read

[jannyk]

5. Very Interesting! Thanks for that. Nt

[Hekate]

12. Taken down? I hope someone made a copy.

[dkf]

18. Saw several posts on reddit saying they had a copy.

Both his page and the family page asking for help finding him.

[Contrary1]

7. According to ABC, he would be the one in custody...

Not named, just identified as Suspect #2 in the white hat.

[PCIntern]

8. Wow...k n r. Nt

[Hekate]

9. wtf indeed. How did you find this?!

[ForgoTheConsequence]

11. Another forum I post on.

I think its blowing up on Twitter now.

[dkf]

13. It's all over twitter.

I saw it before the scanner named him.

I felt it was to tragic to post. I was hoping it wasn't him.

[Hekate]

14. Ah, well there's my problem. I don't go there.

[dkf]

15. It's the fastest medium, other than reddit which seems to lead the news.

[ForgoTheConsequence]

10. More of the article.

And, while the Tripathi clan's crisis is undeniably sad, a five-state all out manhunt for an emotionally disturbed, underweight youth who "always wears three winter coats" and has a history of mental illness frankly isn't merited.

That such a mindbogglingly humongous search effort now also includes the supremely pricey services of the taxpayer-funded Federal Bureau of Investigations is also objectionable. Especially considering the unlimited financial assets the Tripathis have at their disposal for conducting this mission on their own, and that those resources should obviously have been spent on getting their troubled son treatment before he pulled a Houdini on them.

22. Turns out, it was merited.

Article is insisting that society has no interest in the treatment of depressed rich boys. You know, like Osama bin Ladin.

[ForgoTheConsequence]

24. I suppose its easier to ignore it.

Some families find mental illness "shameful". I know mine certainly did.

Although I was far from rich you just didn't talk about it or even acknowledge it.

[muriel_volestrangler]

17. Article does NOT predict "public suicide"

and it's pretty disingenuous of you to say that it does. It says one possibility is suicide, that would have been "highly-publicized".

Why did you feel the need to add to the hysteria?

[ForgoTheConsequence]

19. He gave two scenarios.

One was right on the money. I'll add a question mark if that shuts you up. As for the hysteria, me posting on a forum is a drop of rain in the ocean that is a shitty mainstream American media.

[cthulu2016]

20. That's a fair criticism n/t

[HiPointDem]

21. so far from being a terror attack by middle eastern al qaeda, it looks like this is yet another

version of a school shooting by a troubled young person -- only this time with bombs.

[cali]

23. we don't know yet and it's evidently not a single actor

[TDale313]

30. Neither was Columbine.

But you're right, we don't know details yet.

[HiPointDem]

34. "it looks like". where were you, miss hall monitor, when posters were putting up identifiable

pictures of people from the crowd and identifying them as the bomber?

the police have released two names and one of them is the missing brown student.

[cali]

37. uh no. And there's nothing.hall monitorish about my post

In the face of all the erroneous information I'm simply saying that I've chosen caution about believing... much of anything at this point.

duh.

[Cha]

25. thanks FTC

[avaistheone1]

26. Don't think the FBI will be discussing this story's angle.

It doesn't put them in a good light.

K&R ForgoTheConsequence, I appreciate the insight this article provides into Sunil and his family that may not get picked up in other media.

[ForgoTheConsequence]

33. I guess we'll see.

I hadn't thought about it in the regard. Personally I think the FBI have an incredibly hard job of filtering though information.

[TwilightGardener]

27. Strange--what compelled the author to write this? Did he know Tripathi personally?

Why was he so invested in the search? My theory is, if there's any question as to why the search involved 5 states and the FBI and was a big deal, it's because maybe the family told law enforcement (or they discovered in a computer search) that their son had been recruited by some bad element, like AQ or something similar. That would sure get the FBI on it--but wouldn't have been made public, perhaps.

[ForgoTheConsequence]

28. He apparently has a blog about missing persons.

Apparently its well known but I hadn't heard of it.

[TDale313]

29. *if* it is him...

It may well turn out he has more in common with the Sandy Hook or Columbine killers than what we think of as more "traditional" terrorists, foreign or domestic.

[pnwest]

31. holy cow. so im guessing

the family knew this kid was hanging with dangerous people, plus this cryptic note he left. The FBI somehow got wind of this missing kid, perhaps his family even called them. Meanwhile they all put out this missing kid ruse to cover the fact the FBI is on a man hunt for a potential terrorist. They've known all along this kid was one of the bombers, and pit out the photos today to spooky him, flush him out.

[SleeplessinSoCal]

36. ABC local news reported his family has been looking for Sunil Tripathi

ABC has had tape and photos and information from his American family that he was missing from Brown.

And they've had video since March: "Sunil Tripathi: New Video in Missing Ivy League Student Case"
