New York Daily news shows the second guy. So two different guys are being shown as Austin Rich the man who was taken into custody later to be let go.

They look like different people to me at least. The media may change these pictures or links later too.

My question is why are we caring about this? Seems to me the police were doing due diligence and that this person was treated fairly and professionally (as indicated by his own facebook account). Is this supposed to be some kind of news because a journalist got swept up because of being in the wrong place at the wrong time?

I just don’t see the hubbub here.

I'm starting to wonder who doesn't see a pattern here of what a perverted killer "looks like" with these mass killings. With a lack of on-the-scene coverage at the church and at the Waco Biker shootout, well, I have questions.

Arched eyebrows, page boy haircut, and killers... you may be on to something.

“I was detained as a suspect for the shooting that took place in downtown Charleston.”

If he was finger printed and booked as a suspect (no charges)
he’s still in the system. Now every time the fuzz runs his
ID this will come up and so will his chances of going to
jail. He now has a permanent police record.

You have deciphered the reason. By bringing attention to this “story”, the media is somehow trying to show how they get mistreated by the police. Unfortunately for the media, it turned out good, as it should have.

We're on the same wavelength. "Hey, guys. Look at me, I'm innocent and free."

Touch of Perez Hilton.

It looks like they are showing two different people as Austin Rich, kind of a big mistake.

My concern here is that there appear to be two different Austin Richs in the pictures they are showing. They aren’t keeping their stories straight.

Videos on the net of someone else getting detained by police there too. Guy running through the woods for example there. I am no expert on that incident. There is a guy named Wolfgang Halbig out there who one can find stuff on on the internet who doesn’t believe the official story there on that event.

Lone people in a lot of these events when in a lot of them originally there were reports of more people involved. That is a pattern I have noticed. We see victims families forgiving the arrested person here in Charleston. Would think the authorities would be more interested in questioning the arrested person regarding whether there was involvement by others than we at least in the public are being shown. Confrontation with victim’s families in a hearing looks strange, and appears to the public at least as if it has taken preference over investigation. Also how come the press doesn’t even know if the arrested person has a lawyer here. We were given a lot of conflicting stories on how the arrested person got the weapon too. I mean how bad can the journalists be, again and again. These are the people who give us the news.

Smart move. I had already dialed 9-1- just as you posted.

so the hidden insinuation is that a loner, who generally fits a pattern begun, say, in a school shooting, is set up as a murderer whose mental state weakened the lines of reality to him and thus is (possibly) framed as a mass murderer.\Using tried and true catchwords and phrases, is judged guilty by the media while the operatives who did the deed are back in the shadows. The pivotal crime,so heinous and without reason, accelerates a rush to justus, and guarantees more and more backlash against people who have no access to the legal system given the suspicious nature they exhibit. What lawyer in the nation would take this case given the perimeters it is framed in. EvenI doubt his innocence. And yet, when I first saw the picture of the bad haircut and high cheekbones, I thought it was the disgraced woman who claimed to be black so she could rise to power in the spokane naabp, only dressed like a looney white boy.

The description fit. Wearing a sweat shirt in temperatures of 100 degrees of that week, is very suspicious on it’s own. But this guy is no victim. The police were doing their jobs and a very fine job at that
