Does anyone else think the NYPD photos of the UHC CEO shooting suspect don’t match? (sh.itjust.works)

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago

Clearly five different people.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago

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?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 weeks ago

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.

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 when they left on vacation they would use their underlings to fuck with my life. some horrible shit would happen to me. and then a few days later they 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 some 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. And now the killer is dead and in the Hudson never to be found in one piece.

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.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

You obviously need actual professional help, please look into it.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 weeks ago

You need professional help before your delusions drive you completely over the edge. Seriously.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

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

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 weeks ago

You are crazy if you believe trump could come up with that scheme

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 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.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

Unless he put the clothes in the backpack and put all of that into the other backpack, Backpackception! It sounds really silly though, like he purposely changed his clothes ever so slightly, just enough that a few people would call it out, instead of changing into a completely different outfit, which would've been more effective IMO. It's just alot of work for little benefit, people come up with the weirdest theories.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 weeks ago

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?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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"

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 weeks ago

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.
