I am setting here watching Clint Eastwoods movie about Richard Jewell for the first time.
I watched the Manhunt series but this seems to go into more depth. I was 11 at the time and only barely remembering it in real time. How bad was this guy fucked for months? |

I’ve read enough about the bombing and the fucked up investigation to never, ever trust law enforcement again.
RJ was a cop wannabe. Actually he was a cop for a short time. He trusted them to do the right thing. They didn’t. He learned, eventually. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By R2point0: It's always been fucked up, especially the FBI under J. Edna Hoover. The 90's is just when the curtain started to peel back, due to the newly minted CNN driving a 24 hour news cycle. That makes sense. The Sensationalism horseshit started then. I remember watching news all the time then. It started with the Gulf War. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By SuperX925: I’ve read enough about the bombing and the fucked up investigation to never, ever trust law enforcement again. I happened to be watching Olympics coverage late at night when the bombing happened, so saw events play out live. What was shown live on TV deviates from the narrative somewhat. It was disheartening. By the next morning the events that were broadcast the night before were memory holed and never shown again. |

There was a lot of ridiculous pseudo science bullshit back then, like psyche profiling.
Oddly, the real bomber was kind of an Arfcom hero. |
