Some of the most upvoted threads are all about Devil&apos;s Advocacy and finding evidence of innocence:
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.reddit.com/r/findbostonbombers/comments/1cjc30/devils_advocacy_thread/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://www.reddit.com/r/findbostonbombers/comments/1cjc30/de...&lt;/a&gt;
With that, similar threads, the rules imposed, it&apos;s following exactly the textbook approach to avoid groupthink.&lt;p&gt;b) Meanwhile, we have the case studies of Richard Jewell, Steven Hatfill, the Central Park Five, among others. Those were not cases of &quot;vigilante justice.&quot; Those happened because no one bothered to check the math of the authorities.&lt;p&gt;The internet can be an unruly mob, sure, but it&apos;s simply inaccurate to claim  the internet can ONLY be an unruly mob. Or why are any of us even here?</text><parent_chain><item><author>clicks</author><text>So, to be clear, the teen Salah Barhoun was the guy in the blue tracksuit who some 4chan&apos;ers thought was the bomber.

They are only drawing a list of suspects based on visual evidence from the photographs at the event. They are also passing along these tips to the FBI etc. Just in case, these men (called as  the Backpack Bros) were cleared by the subreddit way before this name had come out.
