So far, the only media outlets who have identified a particular individual are not the most trustworthy. There are, no doubt, hundreds of Juan Thompsons out there.

I dislike this immediate jump to posting photos, etc., before much has been confirmed. It has happened far too often that the wrong person gets a bunch of publicity.

I wish we'd stop doing that until things are certain and verified by trustworthy sources.
