Did I miss something? IIRC Boston police asked foe help finding the people who carried out the bombing and then found them with the help of the general public. The two individuals did carry out the attack, one is dead and one went to court. Was there more to this?

Reddit started a media driven frenzy over this missing person that further hurt an already tramatized family: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunil_Tripathi
As far as I am aware, crowd sourcing via social media did not assist with indentifying and catching the suspects.

Oh, how did Reddit do that? Or are you all just full of shit? Do you think there are people who don't use both sites?

Feel free to do your own research as the whole process by which this misinformation was created and then spread is pretty well documented. There are quite a few sites and journalists that bear responsibility, but reddit is where it all started.
Your tone is not appropriate to HN.

Yes, there was. Reddit went after the wrong person.
