    You mean how I used the word speculative?

    Or how I said conclusions are fraught?

    You didn’t know any better than anyone else, and perhaps you forget the Boston bomber situation, but it’s always good to slow down on plastering someone’s face/identity on a crime till reports are concrete.

      The police released that information because they were confident in it. It wasn’t reddit.

        And reports from authorities, at the time I commented that, were raising concerns that it may not have been the same person. My comment was one of caution, yours is of luck.
