Comments like this one [1] in this thread [2] didn't just appear out of nowhere. There was plenty of wild speculation (the worst of which has since been edited or deleted) in that thread in the hours following the event. This widely circulated spreadsheet [3] contains a "suspect summary", not a list of "somewhat interesting people". 1: http://www.reddit.com/r/boston/comments/1cf5wp/2013_boston_marathon_attacks_please_upload_any/c9g7ttb http://www.reddit.com/r/boston/comments/1cf5wp/2013_boston_m... 2: http://www.reddit.com/r/boston/comments/1cf5wp/2013_boston_marathon_attacks_please_upload_any/ http://www.reddit.com/r/boston/comments/1cf5wp/2013_boston_m... 3: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/lv?key=0AgtCl8YvqiBodEl0bkFkR1ZhR3gtZFU5RnRlbzZPS0E&f=true&noheader=true&gid=8 https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/lv?key=0AgtCl8YvqiBodEl0...

I've been closely watching this subreddit from the beginning, and have not seen anything of non-negligible prominence (including the comments you link to) accusing anyone of anything other than being worthy of a closer look. The spreadsheet has 10+ people on it. You'd have to be willfully misinterpreting it to an absurd degree to conclude that reddit thought they all were simultaneously guilty.

Either you got there late or weren't paying attention. There are no shortage of people in this thread and the one I linked who witnessed that thread getting out of hand. >The spreadsheet has 10+ people on it. You'd have to be willfully misinterpreting it to an absurd degree to conclude that reddit thought they all were simultaneously guilty. I have no idea what kind of point you're trying to make here.
