. . . Then, on Sunday, a man wearing a black bandanna was singled out by
police in a sea of protesters and found with bottles of gasoline in
his backpack, Ramsey said. How did they discover the one person with
lethal possessions in the middle of the crowd? Yesterday, they
indicated that other protesters had fingered him. . . .
I thought it was curious that the person arrested was never named in the paper. Unless he was underage, there is no privacy right in this respect. Ordinarily in such circumstances the fuzz would announce charges and display the merchandise, and the press would hound the person a bit, but his face was never shown on tv. There has been no subsequent news about this arrest. If I had to bet, it would be that the incident was staged to further justify police misconduct.

CB: I think they said his name was Lee Harvey Oswald. He's gone over from pro-Cuba to anarchist. Or maybe it was Sacco - Vanzetti ( One report said two people).
