I checked the top articles to see if there is a photo of the suspect. And then I did find one eventually, after a few more searches.

The coverage of this story reminds me of this tweet:

The DailyMail published his photo, and also, even better, doesn't have a paywall:

The NYT wouldn't have hesitated to publish Tyrese's photo had he been white and Fahim had been black. Probably their respective races would have even been mentioned in the headline.


You’re being downvoted because this is unhelpful speculation which adds nothing to the discussion - be it true or untrue. If the response to what you say is “OK...”, what you have said is not terribly interesting.


how do you downvote on here?



You need 400 or 500 karma/points before the downvote button shows up.


You need to have a certain amount of karma before it appears


Which makes sense. Black people have historically been and currently are scapegoats for a lot of crimes they did not commit. Kinda makes sense to give them more leeway.


So have the Irish, Chinese, and Italians. What does the crimes of others of the same race have to do with it?


Around certain people, never relax


Are you suggesting never relax around black people?


I also don't like how they detail every sex crime a sexual assault. It's very confusing to know xx needs 50k for bail and yy needs 2k both for sexual assault which ranges greatly from groping to rape.


I'm so confused by this post. is "xx" referring to chromosomes? Cis women need a lot of money for bail? "yy" is not even a thing, you need at least one x.


The other person is correct, they are placeholders.


My interpretation was that they were simply placeholders.
