In reply to the discussion: Did the media get punked again (on internet search tip off)? [View all]TeeYiYi
(8,028 posts)26. I agree with you that there are still some unanswered questions...
The six gentlemen in casual clothes from three black SUVs comes to mind.
"What happened was this: At about 9:00 am, my husband, who happened to be home yesterday, was sitting in the living room with our two dogs when he heard a couple of cars pull up outside. He looked out the window and saw three black SUVs in front of our house; two at the curb in front and one pulled up behind my husbands Jeep in the driveway, as if to block him from leaving.
Six gentleman in casual clothes emerged from the vehicles and spread out as they walked toward the house, two toward the backyard on one side, two on the other side, two toward the front door."

The FBI denied it was them, but then who exactly is taking credit for the visit? Six suits in black SUVs sounds like overkill to me; and a little nefarious. Especially in light of the fact that his creepy employer admitted turning him in for a search query that every one of us would have been guilty of during the Boston Marathon tragedy. I'd be willing to bet that search history was from April.
People have been quick to condemn the messenger but the way I see it, she's been completely honest.
We're definitely not getting the whole story from the department responsible for the visit.

Are you saying the Suffolk Police punked the media by releasing a false statement?

Maybe they don't post all their releases. Or maybe someone slipped up. I think either is much

"Suffolk County police said" sounds like their PR officer gave a verbal statement to a reporter.

Give the Suffolk PD a call and ask them to send you the release, that will clear this up! nt

Maybe she was threatened with espionage charges for shining light on the operation?

She tweeted it in very nearly real time as it was being relayed to her by her husband...

What, by actually being a journalist and calling the police to find out what happened?
