Does anyone else think the NYPD photos of the UHC CEO shooting suspect don’t match?

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?

It might be time to start smashing all the security cameras.

If they are the same person they may have two jackets that are very similar but slightly different and two different backpacks. Someone on top of opsec or paranoid having lots of easily changeable looks would make sense. Although ideally you would want different colored jackets. It could also be that the camera quality isn’t good enough for the details in the jacket to show up and they only have two backpacks. It does really look like the two pictures on the right could be someone different with a similar jacket to the two pictures on the left though.

  Worst opsec agent ever. “My change of clothes will be… essentially the same outfit, but with a black backpack”

    Have you not watched Archer? You don’t know if he’ll wear his black tactileneck, or the slightly darker black tactileneck. It comes in both colors.

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”

source
- xtr0n@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago
  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.

They have over 200 photos already. I think the smiling photos are on a different day.

  If they’re on a different day then it’s even less believable.

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.

Looks like the same person to me.

  Agreed. What I don’t get is that the backpack seems to be a very different color.
  
  I’m not a conspiracy theorist (I don’t think), but the backpack is the inconsistency that’s interesting to me.

    Easy enough to be using more than one bag.
    
    But the front pockets on the jacket are different. The zipper pull is different.
    
    The fabric on the left is crisper, looks plasticized, and is waterproofed, while the one on the right is fluffy and soft.
    
    It’s all very subtle, the pictures are low quality. It’s likely not the same guy, but they’re starving to have someone in custody.

Different bag and jacket too? I don’t see how you can match the fact there at all.

leadore@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ 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.

When people have different jackets and backpacks it not just to have the same jacket in different color. It’s to have a heavier jacket or different sized backpacks.

Also hostel guy eye look more wide set and his brow is more pronounced. Bridge of nose looks wider and deeper too.

    it doesn’t come in 8 colors. I feel bad for the idiots who upvoted you and believed that was even possible.
    
    Dude has a hoody with a flap jacket staying in a hostel. At best he’s a vfx artist and has 7 of the same color.

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.

this is my opinion: trump hired that killer through someone else, 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.

  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

  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.
