QOTD: “… be careful because these people might try to think that it’s you”

Zolan Kanno-Youngs, a participant in the Boston Globe’s co-op program who knows the Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, said he couldn’t fathom that his friend was the subject of a massive manhunt.
Kanno-Youngs admitted that he saw resemblance to his friend when the FBI released photos and videos of Tsarnaev and his older brother, 26-year-old Tamerlan Tsarnaev, at a Thursday evening press briefing, but he didn’t connect the dots because it seemed too far-fetched. In fact, Kanno-Youngs said he reached out to Dzhokhar Tsarnaev out of fear that his friend might be falsely accused.
“You have something in the back of your head like, ‘Wow, like, that maybe looks like Dzhokhar,'” Kanno-Youngs said. “And you know, the crazy thing is probably my first reaction is reach out to him. And I did just to say, you know, ‘Yeah, man, be careful because these people might try to think that it’s you.'”
