6’1/180 ?? Who ever said this….. is an Idiot !
I would’ve beaten the shit out of him.
im no genius.. but im no idiot either.. the article describes the hispanic guy standing next to the van as 6 foot 1.. buuuuut in that picture in comparison to that van.. hes more like 5 foot 8..
That guy looks homeless.
Why is it that our cellphones have HD video cameras and Go Pro cameras are amazing quality for a tiny device, but these business and gas stations have such shitty video and still photograph quality. It’s a joke.
How come it takes so long to get these photos circulated?
To give the detectives time to apprehend the perp. If they don’t post about the crime the perp might believe he’s gotten away clean and increase the likely hood that he hasn’t left town. Seeing a post like this just means he’s going to get away with it unless the general public can recognize him. This is a last ditch effort.
