[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]And it took them like 10 milliseconds to realize that the mentally challenged Asian man (who many people had previously denounced for harassment) was not involved, and to immediately move on to the wealthy and white couple.

WTF is "white privilege" other than in your racist imagination?[/quote]
[b]Actually, they were quite sure it was him[/b] until they saw the hotel video that had Easter in it. I don't know if it was 10 milleseconds since they did have to trace a phone call and scour security videos to make the connection. They did, however, make the connection so big points for the police.[/quote]

Not true. They considered that to be the most likely scenario, which makes perfect sense given available evidence. They tested the hypothesis, proved it wrong, and move on to the next likely scenario.

You race-obsessed folks should truly take a class on Thinking 101.[/quote]

[i]She told police there was another possibility — a 43-year-old dad who lived across the street from the school and had a reputation for bizarre behavior.

Police knew him well. They had responded to complaints about him wandering onto campus without permission, ranting at school staff, heckling the crossing guard, and videotaping the crosswalk as kids moved through it. At least once, he showed up in a Batman costume, masked and caped, to pick up his son.

He made parents nervous; Peters had felt sorry for him. But now she recalled how he’d wanted her PTA job, how he’d even asked her for copies of the bylaws. Maybe he had studied them, and knew that drug possession would disqualify her from her position.

Cops have an informal phrase for such people, who do not quite meet the requirements of a 51-50, the code for an involuntary psychiatric hold. They are 51-49½, vexing but hard to do anything about.

At the Irvine Police Department, some cops thought, “It has to be him.” He seemed a likelier culprit than two lawyers they had never heard of.[/i]

You have absolutely no idea how long they spent on that. That man isn't the focus of the expose. So all you are using to support your hypothesis that they moved on in '10 milliseconds' is that the narrative of this article quickly moved to the more juicy story. Don't act like you have any insight into the actual timelines of the police investigation.[/quote]
