Free your disbeliefs for a moment and speculate how you might act if, for whatever reason, you find yourself involved in a crime. … what would happen afterwards?
If you found yourself in possession of stolen credit cards from a recent crime victim, would you….
- Stop at a nearby gas station to use the card so quickly that police had not arrived at the crime scen yet?
- Take precautions to conceal your identity on subsequent uses of the card,…say, maybe wearing different clothes?
- Be aware of any security cameras in use?
- Continue to try the card after it had been denied?
- Wonder why your picture from security cameras, wearing the same clothes, was on TV?
- Go to the local police station to ask them why that picture was on TV and what they wanted you for?…wearing the same clothes?
Anyway, D Rosenbaum’s alleged killer walked into a police station and asked why his face/picture (wearing the same clothes) was on TV. The police evidently explained to him that it was a photo from one of the security cameras in a place of the seven he used (first time within blocks of the crime even before police arrived at the crime scene) or tried to use the credit cards taken in the mugging….so he confessed to the murder.
Behold the monarch butterfly emerging from a restfull sleep.
Hanging out with cops and prosecutors I have heard some bizarre stories…all true.
This criminal was just plain ole stupid.
As someone said “Ignorance can be cured but stupid is bone deep!”
I think this one exceeds stupid and goes straight to doubtful. That’s the problem with the government/media making a habit of deception. It gets to the point where everything they put out is doubted.
Aw geez – some of us came of age starting with the JFK assassination and ending with Nixon resigning and the Vietnam war….
I should trust them? not likely…not even the Dems and Clinton had trust from me. Howard Dean is as close as I’ve gotten to really caring in 35 years…
That’s what I thought or at least that’s the impression I got reading your comments. Then, why would you jump on the write it off as a dumb criminal in agreement with the police/media version of the situation?
I don’t trust politicians but most cops I’ve met (90%) are okay people trying to do their best.
Most cops are just average people, union members, overwhelmed from too few on the streets, and worried about jobs and marriages and their families.
So…unless there is a circumstance creating a potential issue – such as too many white cops in a black area – I’ll give most cops the benefit of the doubt.
Yeah, I agree with all that you said and my doubts aren’t with the average officers but are with the ones higher in the chain of command.
This situation goes against credible acceptability when all of the factors are considered. The odd behavior by the suspect could be normal stupidity. When combined with the other factors it looks like it desrves more investigation. When that doesn’t happen then it casts doubt on all of the individuals involved.
In other words, this guy didn’t do it and the reporter was killed for his position on Bush and his access to media.
I thought this from day one. Whether or not it’s true is less disturbing than the fact that it even crossed my mind to begin with.

Interesting – I didn’t know the full details of the ‘reporter’ or his political views or anything except the informaton presented. I hadn’t read any news stories or otherwise on the incident. My answers were all based on the what if scenarios presented in the diary.
I can see conspiracies with the best of them and sometimes the world is just black and white / right or wrong.
My tin foil hat was permenantly attached some where between the Warren Commission reports, the Mormon Church doctrine on blacks in the church (til the 70’s0 and their position on women in the work force, the assassination of MLK and RFK, friends dying in Vietnam, and Nixon resigning. I should believe you – – – why???????
I wear my tin foil proudly and sometimes stupid crooks are just stupid or stoned.
I think he was the NYTimes Washington office chief since 68 or something like that. He had covered everything between then and now and just retired at the end of the year. Given that history and timing it seems reasonable that he probably had inside knowledge of everything BushCo was into. His last article (editorial) was especially unfavorable to Alito and the wiretapping story.
Watergate, Iran-Contra, -spies,spies,spies- the Jack’amoff scandal…I’ll bet he knew too much.
I knocked your post back out to the left to save the margins.
It sure looks like it has enough suspicious circumstances to doubt the official story so far. Initial reports were confusing but they all have the similarity that either help was deliberately hindered or through a series of incompetence help was slow and unprofessional.
The victim was a crucial witness by his many years of investigative journalism in several currently controversial issues. It’s natural to ask more questions when the evidence suggests other plausable motives.
This is how the ‘dumb suspect’ was caught.
Smells pretty fishy to me(as she dons another layer of tinfoil. )
I always put mine on shiny side out. Does it make any difference?
The initial autopsy reports said that he was beaten up pretty bad (extremeties included) and then later reports contradicted them. The first responders reported they thought he was drunk and that delayed treatment at a crucial time and there weren’t many mentions in the initial reports that physical evidence suggested a beating. It was mentioned that his injuries were a matter of a small bump on his head. An injection of something and a professional beating would cover all of those possibilities being true.
It’s not just a BushCo force at work. There are several different countries, their intelligence agencies and a few org crime networks involved in the BushCo-Jack’amoff scandals.
Now, the next obvious question is, why isn’t the MSM covering this story?
