Reply to comment by NihFin in Woman Followed Into Manhattan Building, Dragged Out of Elevator in Late-Night Rape: Cops by NetQuarterLatte

  1. Clothes are often helpful. People tend to wear the same outerwear over and over during a particular season. I don't know if you have 20 different coats, and 30 different sweatshirts - maybe you do, NYC has a lot of rich people. It also has a lot of poor ones that don't have the option. I"m going to guess the rapist falls into the latter group.

  2. I'm black, and I could not tell you with even 75% certainty that the guy in the unfocused, grainy surveillance video is black, Latino, or something else. I could say he's not white. But what use is that? You'd be happy if the article said dark skinned? Do you realize that describes like 60% of the city? What's your thought process on this? It's sounds like something has hijacked your thinking.

he’s clearly dark skinned, i mean, yeah, that’s better than not including it? what’s the harm in including as much info as possible?
