It's funny because 2010 internet would have tried to find this guy no matter the circumstances. I'm glad the enamor of social media has worn off so that "not your army" is completely internalized.

Would they? They went after bombers who hurt innocent bystanders, for instance.

But would they have gone after someone that did something people really have sympathy for? I don’t know that there’s any precedent suggesting they would.
