"Six gentleman in casual clothes emerged from the vehicles..." (updated) [View all] ProSense Aug 2013 OP

Those are cops? Funny, the look just like 11 bravos. Rex Aug 2013 #1

Clearly, the photo doesn't correspond with her account. n/t ProSense Aug 2013 #8

Ya this is going to be a strange story of 'he said, she said'. Rex Aug 2013 #13

Why did Atlantic Wire put that picture with the story? Luminous Animal Aug 2013 #31

When are they claiming that these events occurred? JDPriestly Aug 2013 #85

Because it generates more clicks, especially when shared on Facebook n/t arcane1 Aug 2013 #86

Why not? What doesn't correspond? JDPriestly Aug 2013 #82

Because that's not her, or her home, in the photo, for one thing. arcane1 Aug 2013 #89

Thanks. JDPriestly Aug 2013 #92

If she wasn't even arrested treestar Aug 2013 #80

Many good questions. Rex Aug 2013 #84

She wasn't even home! And no one was arrested. They didn't even wake up the son. n/t pnwmom Aug 2013 #111

That seems like an incredibly naive response. The Stranger Aug 2013 #118

Oh Good God. treestar Aug 2013 #119

Jesus. This has been posted 3 times here already. chimpymustgo Aug 2013 #2

Board nanny much? Cali_Democrat Aug 2013 #45

Superior "I'm above all that" comment much? jberryhill Aug 2013 #93

"Much" much? Dash87 Aug 2013 #98

As much as I can, thanks! jberryhill Aug 2013 #99

But does a much "much" much? That is the question. Dash87 Aug 2013 #100

There was a post sitting on the home page all day about how Catalano's story pnwmom Aug 2013 #112

I am a bit lost with this post Vinnie From Indy Aug 2013 #3

I believe the OP is suggesting enlightenment Aug 2013 #17

I believe the OP is suggesting that very thing!!! Vinnie From Indy Aug 2013 #20

I doubt Catelano's story because there has been no corroboration sweetloukillbot Aug 2013 #23

Fair enough! Vinnie From Indy Aug 2013 #26

Maybe it happened some time ago, or maybe someone imagined it. JDPriestly Aug 2013 #88

When did you stop beating your wife? frazzled Aug 2013 #101

Someone pointed out that the picture used in the Atlanticwire story appeared in a story JDPriestly Aug 2013 #109

What about the Guardian story? ProSense Aug 2013 #22

The Guardian has a section called "comment is free", anyone sufrommich Aug 2013 #39

So why not just say that? enlightenment Aug 2013 #46

No, ProSense Aug 2013 #49

Whatever, PS. enlightenment Aug 2013 #53

No, I don't ProSense Aug 2013 #57

You are right! Vinnie From Indy Aug 2013 #59

No, you're ProSense Aug 2013 #63

What's "sad" is your psycho babble about ProSense. It says everything Cha Aug 2013 #110

Your defense of someone you have probably never met enlightenment Aug 2013 #113

You don't understand how Joint Terrorism Task Forces and Fusion Centers work, do you, ProSense? leveymg Aug 2013 #69

Well, I don't have to be condescending ProSense Aug 2013 #77

Turns out to have been something of a hoax. And you are owed something of an apology. leveymg Aug 2013 #107

Thanks. ProSense Aug 2013 #108

clearly some federal involvement, Nassau County doesn't have electronic eavesdropping geek tragedy Aug 2013 #4

Horrible, disgusting, incomprehensible. GlashFordan Aug 2013 #5

Because it's not a real picture of the incident. frazzled Aug 2013 #7

Doesn't matter, the picture is real. GlashFordan Aug 2013 #10

It may be real about something, somewhere, sometime ... frazzled Aug 2013 #14

You are ProSense Aug 2013 #19

Yes I see what you're saying. Just Saying Aug 2013 #70

It's from the search for the boston bomber according to tineye.com jberryhill Aug 2013 #94

So is this one frazzled Aug 2013 #62

That one is from unicorn and rainbow land. GlashFordan Aug 2013 #64

And yours is of the house-to-house search for the Boston bomber frazzled Aug 2013 #66

I guess it's impossible to do police work GlashFordan Aug 2013 #68

That picture is not attached to the AtlanticWire story at the link frazzled Aug 2013 #6

That picture is most certainly attached to the AtlanticWire story at the link. I just checked. KittyWampus Aug 2013 #29

Not when I press the link: it's a generic picture of yellow police tape frazzled Aug 2013 #34

That is the first link to the Guardian. Scroll down to the second link & you'll see, I promise. KittyWampus Aug 2013 #40

Fine--it's still just a stock photo that doesn't match the story in the least frazzled Aug 2013 #60

Sorry for the long URL, but here is the source of the image... tridim Aug 2013 #73

It's the picture that comes up for me. nt sufrommich Aug 2013 #50

Not for me. JDPriestly Aug 2013 #90

Normally that show of force is reserved for dying cancer grannies who are growing pot. Warren DeMontague Aug 2013 #9

Wait. I thought this was the photo: Robb Aug 2013 #11

The headline says "casual clothes" the picture shows men in uniforms.. Bay Boy Aug 2013 #12

You missed nothing: the OP is misrepresenting frazzled Aug 2013 #15

No, the photo is attached to the story, and is being tweeted to represent this story. ProSense Aug 2013 #16

So, if I understand your position correctly, Vinnie From Indy Aug 2013 #18

You clearly ProSense Aug 2013 #21

"...don't under the point." Vinnie From Indy Aug 2013 #25

Oops, accidently deleted part of the word. ProSense Aug 2013 #27

I am not a mind reader and your post here is quite ambiguous. Vinnie From Indy Aug 2013 #48

No, it isn't, and ProSense Aug 2013 #51

Speaking of not seeing things... Vinnie From Indy Aug 2013 #56

No, nothing was "missed" ProSense Aug 2013 #61

To be fair, the use of such "cover images" is misleading journalism Scootaloo Aug 2013 #28

+1 leftstreet Aug 2013 #37

I agree completely! Vinnie From Indy Aug 2013 #47

I'd like to know if it is honest mistake or is the Atlantic doing someone a favor snagglepuss Aug 2013 #71

"Photo: Massachusetts police search a home after the Boston bombings."... TeeYiYi Aug 2013 #30

That caption is not at the AtlanticWire link. I just checked.It's in the comment section. KittyWampus Aug 2013 #33

That's where I copied it from. Check again. ..nt TeeYiYi Aug 2013 #36

AHA! You are correct! KittyWampus Aug 2013 #43

No, it's actually in the article. Very weird n/t leftstreet Aug 2013 #38

Yep, second link in the OP leads to a picture Rex Aug 2013 #42

Also posted at the ProSense Aug 2013 #35

OK, so my question on it all is this: Why did the cops (not feds) show up? How, The Straight Story Aug 2013 #32

I don't think they're sure yet just who showed up... TeeYiYi Aug 2013 #41

The photo is from the boston bombing: The Straight Story Aug 2013 #44

Right--so why did the Atlantic put it there? nt msanthrope Aug 2013 #55

Stock police photo perhaps? Not saying they should have, but they did note that The Straight Story Aug 2013 #58
