he may have been arrested already.

One person arrested was charged with possessing a “military style automatic weapon” and 11 molotov cocktails, prosecutors said. Another defendant was charged with assaulting a police officer with a hockey stick

The guy arrested for the molotovs was the geezer.

”ANOTHER defendant was charged with assaulting a police officer with a hockey stick"

Feels like unless the FBI is asking for help identifying suspects, we shouldn’t be worried about finding people. Y’all really think the FBI isn’t on top of this shit 1000x what any of us are?

Crowdsourcing is an extremely powerful, if equally unwieldly, weapon.

People have all sorts of random obscure knowledge that could prove to be weirdly useful. Not to mention the possibility of identifying people we actually know. More eyeballs on something with such a massive amount of information to sift through can always help.

Edit: And the FBI actually is asking for help identifying people.

Sounds likely they already got him. People didn't know that when they started looking though.

FBI asked for help in general, not on individual cases.
