The photo was released by the Philadelphia Police Department on Tuesday in connection with a brutal beating of a gay couple last week. This group is suspected of being the perpetrators of the attack.
Nothing to smile about.
But then, the internet was used for good, and a Philadelphia sports fan (of all people), may have saved the day. An anonymous Twitter user took to social media sites to investigate and identify these people. Then, rather than ruin their lives or give their names to the internet at large, this Twitter user provided them to the police.
Podcast TLDR did a very nice, and short, piece about it. Listen here.
