Maybe I’m just face-blind or being dense but the photos from the scene of the crime look like a different dude than the ginning hostel check in guy. The jackets and backpacks are different. Although people can have multiple jackets and backpacks. We don’t see much of the shooters face but the eyebrows look different. Although, people can pluck/shave eyebrows. I guess the happy hostel guy would have come forward and been like “WTF?” and “I have an alibi” if it wasn’t him?
I feel like this is all viral marketing for that jacket because it looks very warm and I want one
Clearly five different people.
Im very faceblind, but hes more broad shouldered in the right pics that Im not seeing in the left pics. Also, whats going on with that cheekbone in top right pic and why dont you see it in any other pics?
I thought the same thing. They have more video footage and we are seeing only 2 stills from it, but the coats are definitely different. But the hostel footage was from when he was checking in days earlier than the day of the shooting.
Someone needs to paint some eyes in the pocket flaps and post it as a meme on the police website to just rub it in how fucking off they are on something so obvious.
Maybe he gotvfriends as a distraction?
note to self; flash mob if I’m going to commit a crime in public.
yeah just Altair yourself in a group of hoodie wearers
i used to lived next to an organized crime person.
they would fuck with me constantly because i have a problem of keeping my mouth shut because i do.
and before he would use his underlings to fuck with my life he would come over and tell me that he was leaving the country for a bit.
then some horrible shit would happen to me. and then a few days later he would return smiling and smirking asking how i was doing.
the following is my opinion: trump hired that killer (probably someone with a beef against insurance) through someone underling with the promise of a big payoff, left the country to France, and the killer was supposed to be paid off after the kill but was left with monopoly money because trump never pays his debts.
now trump will use the killing to push a hardcore agenda of police and constant surveillance to make sure it won’t happen again.
and the rich will pay him to make sure that it doesn’t.
but it will happen again. and trump will leave the country right before it does.
what’s his end goal with implementing a hard-core surveillance state though?
and while we’re at it, why make it more transparent to the public when what they already do works great for them?
your conspiracy doesn’t add up and leaves more questions than answers.
honesty, your comment reminds me of my father years ago. he lost his mind listening to all the right wing propaganda years before “maga” was a thing. he died before Trump took office the first time. I imagine he would have been crazy enough to take drastic measures.
get help, seriously. no disrespect, no hurt feelings. your logic is flawed and you may be going through a difficult time.
please seek help.
You obviously need actual professional help, please look into it.
You need professional help before your delusions drive you completely over the edge. Seriously.
now trump will use the killing to push a hardcore agenda of police and constant surveillance to make sure it won’t happen again
see, I think if Trump did it he’s gonna go a different route
he’s gonna harness the populist support for this killer and he’s gonna go “we need universal healthcare because Americans are suffering”
and he will be seen as a hero and cement his dictatorship
You are crazy if you believe trump could come up with that scheme
That’s possible. It’s a crazy world. There was a school shooting in California because a man was convinced he worked for a secret government agency responsible for executing children.
I keep seeing the backpack as not matching, I don’t get how these are considered the same person, unless is going to be the next blue-black white-gold thing.
Yeah, the jacket is very different as well if you look at the front chest area. While people do say maybe he just changed his clothes, the problem is if he also changed his backpack, he couldn’t have just put the clothes in the backpack, meaning he would’ve had to have left them somewhere and there would’ve been a trail that probably would’ve been found by now. It doesn’t really add up for them to be the same person.
Yeah the shooter had something more like a rain jacket. But he may have put on the rain jacket that he wasn’t wearing earlier when going out to shoot the guy. Backpack is different, but that may have been stashed in the park.
But what seems odd to me is that this whole thing was obviously premeditated, but a guy that’s intent on murder is smiling and chatting up the receptionist? I guess that’s possible, but something that further suggests that it’s a different dude.
We really only have the top half of the faces looking somewhat similar in a couple of grainy images. It’s plausible it’s the same guy, but given the information we have, it’s more likely not. But we don’t have all the information, so who knows?
I thought I saw that these pictures were taken on different days and the guy on the right has been tagged as a “person of interest” and not officially a “suspect”
The police said he’s a person of interest. All the news reports are calling him the shooter. I saw a clip from Good Morning America and they didn’t even bother saying “alleged”. It seems crazy irresponsible.
That is actually insanely irresponsible journalism, if you can even call it that. INSANE. American news sources are just a wild west of “information”, isn’t it.
CNN and others just put the photos out without verification. No official photos have been released. CNN even said as much in their article
Boston bomber 2.0
Well that sucks.
Also, can’t stop thinking about that episode of The Newsroom with Boston marathon bombing. 10 years since it aired and this shit is only getting worse.
That’s pretty fucking irresponsible
“There was a shooting! Police are looking for the suspect! PICTURE OF A CLOWN WITH A GUN HONK HONK”
“Hi we’re CNN. We don’t really have reporters. We regurgitate random shit we find on social media. Liberal, conservative… Suck my dick we’re CNN and we’re always… Just fucking there butching reality. Fuck you.”
That’s pretty much how most modern, corporate news outlets operate: irresponsibly.
auto white balance in cheap digital video camera changes color appearances dramatically in different types of light bulbs
that would be my first guess/answer
Accounting for that, the hostel guy seems to have a rucksack or similar. They’re quite distinct and notable bags. If it’s not actually a rucksack, it’s something with similar design elements, maybe a knockoff, since rucksacks tend to be rather expensive.
Rucksacks are popular with people who hike/move around a lot, the kind of people who would stop at a hostel for a night before moving on to another area/location/city/country, usually by non-typical means (hiking, walking, hitch hiking, etc).
That’s just the personality type for one such person who would use such a combination of products, and by no means should describe, or imply a description, of the individual illustrated in the image. My entire point to saying any of this is that it’s a very district design.
The shooter has a very simple backpack that lacks most of the notable features that I can see from the backpack/rucksack that the hostel person is using.
They’re both backpacks, but one is notably different than the other.
While it’s feasible they just switched backpacks, IMO it’s far more likely that they’re simply different people.
To me, this kind of naming and shaming attitude of a person of interest in an ongoing investigation by the press is disgusting.
If the images here depict two different people as I suspect they do, then the individual in the hostel images is likely to suffer consequences as a result of the brash and hasty release of their images by the press. It will likely affect them for years to come.
It makes for enticing headlines, that’s for sure, but it’s abysmal journalism. They don’t seem to have any standards left regarding the truth, only whatever will attract the most views/clicks/reads/whatever.
It’s kinda crazy because I own the backpack he had on during the incident, it’s a peak design camera bag and it’s pretty expensive. Definitely not the bag the dude at the hostel is wearing.
I have a rucksack, and the design elements I can see from the hostel seem to match up pretty good.
Unless this individual has two fairly costly backpacks that they’re just swapping between, I think the media is calling out an innocent person.
No breast pockets on the shooter’s jacket and there’s no way your white balance is going to be so off that a white backpack becomes black
you are aware that things still exist when you can’t see them, like breast pockets of someone with their back turned to you?
Yes, but are you blind to the top left picture?
It’s a different jacket entirely though. The backpack strap is also a different design.
Smiling guy is a patsy they’ll try to hang for this to help other CEOs sleep peacefully on their second yachts at night after a long day of forcing 5 day a week return to office mandates for overworked employees with “leadership” emails sent remotely from Saint-Tropez.
Weird thing is, neither of these photos has the guy… they already know the man responsible for this and many other deaths, his name was Brian Thompson.
Maybe they used decoys to throw off the investigation
That would be smart. Or buy the most common winter jacket sold in the area.
Wow. Dark haired male in dark hooded jacket and back pack. Rare. I see slightly less than 30 such most days.
