and other kidnapping victims who were still alive at least for a few hours or days would have a chance of quick capture

and serial ones like in this case.

It might not have stopped the first one, but they could have, like in Boston, released the photos and voila instant ID of the ones in the crowd

so your sarcasm is just silly silly silly and 100% false

INDEED today's security caught the killthrillfameseekers very quickly, once the pix were distributed, thankfully.

That is the greatness of that John Walsh show that captured thousands of criminals

nail em and give them the max

...you are advocating the nullification of our civil liberties based on a fear-based mindset. The sarcasm was directed at you and the panic meme that you are promulgating.

I'd say it is warranted, and well- deserved.

every time someone is shot, they lose their 1st amendment rights
everytime someone is kidnapped, they lose their freedom of speech and all other freedom

what rights have you lost? NONE but political talking anti-Obama whinery

...and was being watched via a camera while I shat, I have had a certain discomfort about being under surveillance.

Where does the line get drawn between "public" and "private" space? Remember, it was a private company's imaging that was used to finger the bombers.

Knee-jerk reactions like yours could end up with our bedrooms and bathrooms constantly monitored. And people like you would no doubt say "If you're having good Christian sex for procreative purposes, you have nothing to fear. It's only those perverts and gays that need be concerned".

"G4Aland; One Nation, Under Surveillance!"

You DO REALIZE (don't you) that those cameras, pictures, etc. etc. did not help save the innocent people WHEN THE BOMBS WENT OFF!!!!

I think someone sent you here from the cave to stir up word salad. Not a single damn post you write makes any sense.

I'm a big (huge) President Obama supporter. He would not agree with wanting to take away the majority of American's rights like you do. You do realize that, correct?

(I'm done with this conversation. Just asking the above makes me tilt my head and look at you with concern.)

if the brothers all owned homes, and they knew of this, I sadly -- would have to say yes.

The reports I have read is that they don't know who the father of Amanda Berry's daughter is.

They will dig, no doubt, when they can do so without jeopardizing the prosecution of the case.

I am thankful for the three young women (and the child) that were able to escape with the great fellow citizen's help.

However, I saw several more photos on the news last night of other young missing girls from that area. Hopefully, they didn't find them in the basement or backyard; but it doesn't sound good.
