But for the overall feel a lot of us are getting from Brown/Providence/RI AG, I think we'd all pretty easily accept the idea that the agencies know what they're doing and are disclosing useful things to the public to invite help while not giving away information that may disrupt the progress of the investigation.

But the public comments to date have not been confidence-inducing and has done little to quell suspicions (fair or not) that Brown, etc. might have interests here other than doing whatever is helpful to find the killer (like controlling a politically-sensitive narrative).

Imagine it is a fine line from giving enough info to giving sensational info.

The guy detained was released was never publically identified and never called a suspect. Not even sure he was arrested. The internet ran with it and tracked down childhood friends to interview. Allegedly he was tracked by the FBI using cell data from the area. Not sure what stood out about his phone. That would actually be cool to know how they cull down what seems to be 100s of people and settled on his actions being suspicious.

This new guy certainly looks more like the pictures. They still haven't said they have another person of interest. Which with the FBI involved would seem to be a hard thing to keep under wraps.

Laura Loomer, who is a nutjob, is the one that first reported it and said she heard from a source. Only 3 "witnesses" have been interviewed. Of the 3, only 1 was in the classroom and he stated he heard him shout something but didn't know what.


Laura Loomer being her normal POS self farting out rage bait??? SHOCKER!!!!

Almost as bad as all the rage bait going out in most MSM circles when they tried to pin it on the white boy vet.

"Caroline Wren reports that 5 students said the Brown University shooter shouter "Allahu Akbar" when firing into the lecture hall and that Reddit had to shut down the Brown board because pro-Gaza students were celebrating Ella Cook's murder"

My best guess at the moment is that the FBI/law enforcement sees what we see and probably hasn't discounted that person as a suspect, but also doesn't have enough to call them a person of interest or publicly clear them.

And I'll admit that some of this is probably being conflated, we're pairing silence/inaction from FBI/Providence with the Brown/RI AG comments, and the former may not be doing anything but what they should be doing.

Brown, however, saying stuff like "don't you think that if the person at issue was of interest that the law enforcement would say that!" sounds baldly political and should backfire massively unless Brown knows that law enforcement is close to discounting that person as a potential suspect.

Maybe in the aftermath this all just looks like ridiculous speculation, the shooting wasn't political at all, etc.. But everything to date looks like an entire community that has more or less come together to work against a narrative that might be inconvenient for them. If some of that has happened, then it's particularly scary in that I doubt there was any coordination to it. It's just so endemic to Brown that's it's done naturally and broadly.


Not that difficult to believe. We’ve seen numerous times liberal parents who have had their children raped or killed by a member of a favored group whose first reaction in public is to protect the suspect/killer. It’s beyond bizarre.

I will say in the Idaho case that law enforcement played intentionally dumb and asked for public help in trying to identify a suspect even after the knew they were looking for Brian dude.

So there can be reasons to play dumb.

I wave to that shitbag on the way to work each morning since I drive past the Idaho State Penitentiary. All my Treasure Valley baws know what's up when you drive Pleasant Valley.

100%

Plenty of reasons LEOs aren't just giving us everything they know, and usually when it's multiple days and that's happening, my assumption is that they're basically on to a suspect but trying not to spook them while they gather intel and hope they make a mistake that makes an arrest easier.

What is the inconvenient narrative? Not saying this isn't true, I just started following this last night. late to the party other than just the 20 minutes I watched that made it look like the police dept was completely lost.

More or less. But Brown has to be in the top 10 in terms of fringe, high profile lefty institutions. Almost always considered the most fringe of the Ivy League, and as I recall the way Brown's curriculum is structured has made it a breeding ground for directionless social activists for decades.

I think almost all schools have lost huge amounts of academic rigor but among Ivies Brown arguably led that movement.
