Names are named but none of this is new. Where’s the big expose? The press to get things done to actually lead to an arrest? The names named are already very well known ,they themselves took credit years ago and no action was taken by law enforcement.
What is the point of this podcast other than to just make money off a horrible incident? What are you going to resolve to make us safer going to cons?
1) You’re not very good at paying attention, are you, because the series isn’t even completely out yet.
2) No, the second suspect has never been named. I was the one who named the first, so this is original reporting with Nicky Woolf and a team of pros uncovering the second.
3) You want journalists to accomplish an arrest when the FBI didn’t? What do you think journalists do, be Clark Kent until they turn into Superman to serve you? Entitled much? Cold case investigations rarely lead to arrests at all, it’s extremely naive to think they can substantially improve the 50% or less clearance rate by the police for serious crimes.
4) No, the suspects didn’t take credit before, getting them to admit being suspects came from our investigating. Why don’t you link the confessions, genius?
5) What is the point of debunking myths that this was an accident, and naming the only credible explanation of a deliberate attack? We have the story of what happened and why now. Why don’t you tell us why it’s better for the community to not know?
6) What money? Do you think this site makes money? LOL. Let’s see you do something for the community instead of hiding behind cowardly comments. Why do you think a pro-bono hobby/fan website is supposed to be your security service? Entitled much?
7) The development of this original information is for cons and YOU to do something about dangerous people inside who take advantage of ignorance and passivity. The first step is getting people informed. Step up and pull your weight, son.
