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?
To me it looks like the same person in different lighting conditions.
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.
Yeah, every hour they don’t have this dude in custody makes them look incompetent, especially for the billionaire class who have so far provided a LOT of cover for the police. This makes the NYPD look especially bad, given their nationwide rep as “the best PD in the country” among us plebs and the fact that their numbers eclipse several small national militaries.
Nationwide rep? All I ever hear about them from out of state is corruption and illegal shakedowns. FDNY gets all the glory.
Longtime theatre guy here - trust me, lighting does amazing things.
