It's so easy to put a spin on a media story, people are naturally suspicious about government, so they are an easy target for conspiracy. These stories tend to focus on the smallest of details to make you jump to the assumption that the entire thing was set up.
and one aimed a gun at a resident who was snapping his picture from a window.
^ A law enforcement officer pointing a gun in someone's direction is newsworthy? This statement is here to create a response of oppression. Someone in a window looking through a lens would look like someone aiming a gun, it would have been the officer's instinct to do the same.
(Frame 2) Amidst the “carnage,” the hooded man takes a moment to don his sunglasses.
In frame 2, the hooded man is putting on his sunglasses. If he truly had before him a mortally wounded man who could expire within minutes, stopping to put on his sunglasses would seem strange. For that matter, wearing a hood on a nice day with temperatures in the high 50s/low 60s is also strange—it’s no fashion statement.
Here is another example of them taking something normal/ordinary and making it ridiculous. In the picture, it shows a man putting on his sunglasses, the article says he is trying to hide his identity.
Or... Maybe he wants to protect his eyes from all the airborne debris clearly in the picture? They devote half the article to this guy because he is wearing a hoodie (on a cold day?...) and sunglasses. Half the people at the damn marathon were wearing hoodies or jackets, yet they want to single this guy out like he is some sort of government ninja.
Miracle Man isn’t visible, although we know he hasn’t left the area yet, because Carlos, his rescuer, is still there, leaning against the fence holding his cowboy hat and flag, as if waiting his cue. The hooded man is now reclining, propped up on one arm, looking very relaxed.
This is my favorite. They take still shot photos and act as if everyone in them is static.
The shop window has been blown out, leaving a pile of broken glass on the sidewalk. The bomb was supposedly on the sidewalk, so why didn’t the glass blow in to the shop, rather than out onto the sidewalk?
Bombs create a vacuum after they explode because of the oxygen they consume, which would draw the glass in, not blow it into the shop.
I could go on and on. Just with what I wrote above, I could say "Is the Boston Bombing Conspiracy Theory a Conspiracy?" It is so easy to take a photo and make believe your story onto it.
