ganeshran Posted April 21, 2013 Posted April 21, 2013 This is like making a point using tweets from the sizable group of abusive Hindu right wing nutjobs. It just proves that there are stupid people on the internet, something that is already well known :dontknow:
FischerTal Posted April 21, 2013 Posted April 21, 2013 ^ like there are no left wing nutjobs on twitter? heard of amaresh misra?
Crookbond Posted April 21, 2013 Posted April 21, 2013 ^ Precisely Ganesh's point. There are "nut jobs" on the Internet - Left, Right, Cinderella and Snow White.

Clarke Posted April 21, 2013 Posted April 21, 2013 Look mate - I can't speak for others but I "heard" both the names on the scanner. You choose not to believe me' date= I can't help you. Isn't that the ****in problem ? Did the FBI announce Tripathi/Mulugeta as suspects or was it just a bunch of yahoos including you who decided to make these names famous ?

If that's the tone you want to carry on the discussion, I concede. Pat your back and feel awesome that you made a great point. Enjoy your evening.

Crookbond Posted April 21, 2013 Posted April 21, 2013 So now it goes from ad hominem to straw man. The only thing remaining is probably calling me a "terrorist".
Clarke Posted April 21, 2013 Posted April 21, 2013 The other option being you leave the investigation to the investigation agencies and not contribute to the troubles of already depressed innocent families.
ravishingravi Posted April 21, 2013 Posted April 21, 2013 I had a good look at one of those tweeter's profile that seedhi posted. Sunny Singh, because she used the fancy word lactified to describe Indian Americans. In terms of appearance, she looks like Arundhati Roy with access to nutritious food. But in terms of the content she produces, it'll be fair to call her an illiterate man's Ms Roy. She likes to talk on 'gender' and 'politics' but in the same breath very proud of her 'war hero' father who served in an army notorious for gang raping minorities in the NE and Kashmir. Very interesting narrative, isn't it ?
Silva Posted April 21, 2013 Posted April 21, 2013 Theirs a lot of left wing indians that want to prove that their cool by talking about how racist and "right wing" indians are. Even though something like 90% of indians voted for obama.
Crookbond Posted April 24, 2013 Posted April 24, 2013 Body of student falsely accused of Boston attacks possibly found http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-22278224 The state medical examiner's office is trying to determine whether the dead man is Sunil *Tripathi, 22, who has been missing since March. Members of a university rowing team found the body on Tuesday evening. Mr Tripathi has been described as the other victim of the bombings after he was wrongly identified a suspect. Police Lieutenant Joseph Donnelly told the Boston Globe it was "very possible" that the body is Mr Tripathi. Brown University's rowing coach called police after spotting the body floating in the Providence River. Mr Tripathi, a former Brown University student, was last seen in his apartment in Providence on 16 March. On Monday social media website Reddit issued a public apology for its coverage of the Boston bombings after it wrongly named specific people as suspects. Those mistakenly identified as suspects included Mr Tripathi. Mr Tripathi's sister, Sangeeta, told the BBC of her family's anxiety at how fast "completely unsubstantiated claims were spreading". She described how media surrounded their family home after her brother was wrongly named.
hhunaeh Posted April 24, 2013 Posted April 24, 2013 They have not identified the body nor have they informed the family, but choose to speculate just like reddit and twitter. Once again the family gets to hear the "news" about their son from the "sensitive" american media before hearing anything from the authorities. http://www.boston.com/metrodesk/2013/04/23/providence-police-say-body-found-river-could-missing-former-brown-student-sunil-tripathi/Xmj50CyM73PPrjHDirdm0M/story.html
Raghav_12 Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 First time went through the whole saga of Sunil Tripathi. It is tragic and sad. Whole incident exposes quite a few elitist leftist of country and their level of desperation. I will put less blame on social media,more on desperation these leftist of country to find something to malign other indians.
