I see no reason not to discuss the case but I see a lot of jumping to conclusions all over the internet. A fellow with whom I no longer do interviews thought the CIA had cut the line when he had a phone failure while we were doing a Skype. Right...(we were supposed to be talking about my zombie war novels
)
My point - there is such a constant barrage of info, some real, some not, much conflicting. "Experts," and yeah, me too, have some serious questions with the story so far. Put it all in a matrix and it does indeed look hokey. There can be several reasons for that.
1)
Question: What kind of idiots reveal each new piece of the puzzle to world wide mass media as they 'uncover' it. What kind of idiots allow the suspect's home to be ignored for two days after the shooting. And subsequently allow it to be burglarized? What are the lines of demarcation between fed and local?
When I played at this stuff it was assumed that only an idiot would start blabbing about it until they had the facts all lined up nice and neatly. I would tell my boss, if asked, that I had some theories but was not ready to share them yet. Innocent people can have their reputations ruined, like that poor security guard at the Atlanta Olympics. FBI destroyed him just to look like they were making progress in the case.
2)
Question: To do these sort of investigations properly law enforcement needs 'quiet' time to do their job but will they ever have it again? Sadly nobody trusts them anymore and they are loudly condemned by the media if they don't 'reveal' each new data item as they uncover it (or plant it in some cases). So how can we ever expect truthful investigations, is it jurisdictional, just feds, politicized police departments?
3)
Question: Can it be fixed? I'm not pushing an agenda here, one way or the other. It's hard to trust anybody these days but I do care for the lives of innocents, and their reputations too .
And I swear, much as I wish I had an idea how to fix this, I have no clue .
