Bombing Suspect Caught on Tape post by Suzannah B. Troy

The suspect in The Times Square Bombing has been caught on tape.  Newspapers have printed photos and posted on their websites and remember how the bomber was foiled was because a t-shirt vendor spoke up and notified the NYPD!   The guy who alerted the NYPD did what all the signs in the subways and elsewhere ask us to do and he saved lives.

The NYPD also get highest praise and are clearly working hard getting these images and video footage to the media but the publics response is essential as well and stopping what could have been a tragedy is proof!  Times have changed after Sept. 11 and with the budgetary crisis the NYPD in numbers is at an all time low in terms of policing the largest NYC population ever in NYC history so we need the public to step up, speak up and this is proof it can be done; lives can be saved by speaking up!


Of course a political group claimed responsibility but we won't have real answers until the Time Square Bomber is caught.  For now it is really important people stay alert and if they see anything suspicious to contact the police.

Here again is the NYPD contact info Call 1-800-577-TIPS (8477); Text "TIP577" (plus your message) to "CRIMES" ( 274637); Submit Internet Tips
