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?
The assassin looks like he is wearing a black windbreaker style jacket and the other guy looks like he is wearing a cream colored dickies jean jacket with the grey hood like you get from walmart
Steal his look at a reasonable price!
But wait! There’s more!
Agreed. I would call the Dickies style barn jacket tan rather than cream though.
It’s not even the same jacket, obviously. You can spend 10 seconds and find 10 other differences.
I was curious when I was hearing the police chatter saying the suspect was wearing a “cream-coloured” jacket, when in the assassination footage it’s pretty undeniably black or a dark colour at least.
Two different colored backpacks too
It’s not blue and black! It’s white and gold!!!
I heard he was wearing a
white and goldblue and black coat.He probably spun around
counterclockwise, but if you focus a lot it might have been the other directionBut did you see the Gorilla?
But we liked Harambe.
I heard that he’s an ethereal being from another dimension that has already faded away from our plane of existence so the police is wasting its time looking for him and should close the case.
Guy? What guy? That was a pre-existing condition
Never underestimate how actively worthless “eyewitness” testimony is.
I was not aware of this detail. But if it were just bystanders telling stuff to cops before they got a hold of the footage, they are going to go with it. Especially since it is already pretty worthless to begin with (so many jackets are easily reversed).
The fabric looks different too. Like the shooter’s jacket seems to have a texture like gore-tex and the hostel guy’s jacket seems more like a cotton-poly weave. It’s hard to know for sure with the low quality images, but the colors look really different (and neither is anything close to cream)
The pockets are alone to give away that Hostel guy is wearing a “field jacket” cotton blend while Agent 47 is wearing a ECWCS cold/wet weather top. He could have two jackets and all that but they’re different jackets.
Backpack & jacket type AND color are all different. The other dude even has his hood from a hoodie beneath the jacket while the first one has his hood from his jacket. Facially also completely different. I guess the NYPD has reached Reddit doxxing levels now.
The killer seems pretty competent, having multiple jackets and backpacks and switching things up to make it harder to track him doesn’t seem unreasonable.
And what proof do you have of the killer doing that? The only reason they posted the other dude is because he has a vaguely similar outfit style (backpack + hood, which is incredibly common among younger people, especially during this type of weather). If I were the killer I’d not switch into similar clothes, but something completely different.
?? I was talking purely in hypotheticals. Ain’t claiming anything, mate
Then be clear in what you’re saying, or better, don’t say anything, because no one asked about hypotheticals.
Having two dudes wearing similar stuff also doesn’t sound unreasonable. It’s really inconclusive and could do a shit ton of harm to an innocent person if the police got this wrong.
Totally agree, just saying that clothes are easy to change if you’re a motivated and competent killer. I trust the police about as far as they can shoot my dog from.
I mean, surely you’d bring clothes that look a bit different, though…? As far as I’m able to tell, the only notable similarity between the two is that the clothes look superficially similar…
No, dumbass. They’re obviously getting confused and mixing people up…
Why so aggressive? They might not be confused. They could just as easily be deliberately lying to frame someone else since the real killer is gone and that makes them look bad.
Hanlon’s razor: never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.
That said, we’re talking cops here, who are notorious both for being malicious (ACAB) and stereotypically incompetent, often at the same time, so the usual odds (which massively favour incompetence, hence the adage) might not apply.
Also, a lot of people feel sympathy for this particular murderer (and / or enough well justified, earned, and deserved antipathy towards the victim that it overcomes what antipathy towards murderers they might normally have), so they might be aggressive towards anyone who appears to favour him getting caught.
I thought you were joking (missing /s) but judging by the comments you mean it?
I don’t think this sounds plausible, no. You’d try to make yourself look completely every time if that were the case.
I guess the NYPD has reached Reddit doxxing levels now.
Maybe they have always been at Reddit doxxing levels?
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.
Have we ruled out the CEO being a crisis actor?
Isn’t this part just 4 pictures of the CEO? Sure looks like him.
I mean, how do we really know he didn’t just push himself out of a window? 🤔
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.
How do they explain the bag changing colors?
They were taken on different days.
Different days, different clothes, different person.
Hes a chameleon
You can own more than one bag?
Guys planning a quick and carefully planned get away, so most likely traveling light with only what he needs. But yeah, of course he’ll bring two bags.
He’s shown a high degree of planning so far. Bringing a decoy bag and being casual in front of CCTV in not-his-clothes seems on the money at the moment. As soon as I heard he made a beeline for central park I bet he has a change of outfit and strolled out looking totally different. Sure enough they’ve found a bag in the park they think was his. He’s 2 to 3 steps ahead of them…
Why would he have two similar but different heavy jackets? 4D chess?
We should know within a day because if flirty Starbucks guy isn’t him then that person will almost certainly come forward to get removed from investigation.
Why? Seems safer to just keep your head down. He didn’t do anything, why should he let the cops try to pin it on him?
A bunch of comments on here and Reddit about how police will do everything they can to make sure he’s seen as a threat during arrest and kill him? I don’t think that’s the case, but if this guy has nothing to do with it and felt the same it would be much safer to just walk into a police station and get ruled out of the investigation. Better that than risk a cop spotting him one day and thinking himself a hero.
It’s cold, need something. “No jacket” would call attention. Gotta both be pretty nondescript not to call attention too, no hot pink or sports teams (maybe yankees in the city, but if he leaves NYC nondescript is better.)
I mean he’s got half of lemmy convinced
What’s interesting is that the grey bag which he ditched is not cheap. Sure it was £250 when I checked.
I really don’t know this guy has a long term plan. If I were to bed, his wife died after denied insurance. Or possibly a close family member or friend. The fact that he could afford health insurance or had it through an employer implies he probably had a decent job. So a person he was planning to grow old with is now dead, his plans for the future are ruined, probably doesn’t care about an item that costs a few hundred dollars. Maybe he wants to see how long he can evade the cops, but something tells me if they ever do catch the actual murderer, he’s not going to care much as in his eyes he lost his future when the person he cared about died.
Or he’s terminal himself and pissed off
Can’t say personally seen any of the security footage but from the sounds of it this guy was mingling with the crowd and not drawing attention to himself as well as able to book it down the alleyway. It’s not improbable that he’s terminally ill himself, but it’s hard for me to believe he’d be at a stage the doctor(s) said he was incurable/insurance denied him but still not far enough along it’s not affecting him in anyway noticeable way.

These are all different people, and two of the images look fake.
The two on the right are the same guy, just look at the waffle looking thing on the right, it’s the same jacket, mask, etc. the left and the right are definitely not the same jacket or backpack. The left jacket doesn’t look like it has breast pockets at all.
it’s honestly laughable, im race blind but also they are obviously of entirely different ethnic origin IMHO
What is race blind?
It’s when Vin Diesel and Paul Walker pull up to a red light next to each other, and no one see’s what happens next
honestly no clue i don’t even know what race is
Then what do you see if you watch Nascar? Or the Daytona 500? Do you think you’re just watching them broadcasting the craziest traffic report ever???
It’s just an empty track for hours. So pretty much as boring as it already is.
Looks like a generic male, although the ladies say he is good looking.
Looks like nobody saw nothing in NYC tho lol
Feel free to upload more pictures claiming to be him that aren’t, post them to Reddit, send them to the news claiming to be from an official source.
Protect your folk heros America.
Feel free to upload more AI generated pictures claiming to be him that aren’t, post them to…
ftfy
Seems like a great use case for grok or whatever stupid name Elon gave it.
NYPD: “The six fingered man has struck again!”
Regardless of whether the picture is correct, if you think you saw this man, no you didn’t.
I’m sure I saw him here in Mexico just yesterday.
The first back pack is white. The second one is very dark white almost black. The first jacket has white buttons, the second jacket has dark white buttons almost black. The first jacket has buttons, the second one looks like a special kind of button where the buttons on one side intermesh with the buttons on the otherwise in a zigzag pattern… I bet those have a name like zigzaper or zigper, who knows.
“Very dark white almost black” you mean grey?
Could be green. I’ll ask Pete when he comes out of hiding from under the bed. I assume Prez Trump will be pardoning Pete. When he does pardon Pete, he’s going to everyone’s darling. I can’t talk for all Americans, but definitely, all #1’s will love Trump personally. With enough love, anything is possible. I mean lube. 1 in, 1 out, 1 in again, that little hook at the top of the 1 really does beg for lube…anyway what was the question? I hope I answered correctly.
The first one is a dark brown or green zip up with a built in hood, the second one is a green button up over a hoodie.
They’re barely similar. The NYPD has too much of nothing.
It’s like these:
Clearly five different people.
Pretty sure all of those pics are different people. I guess we’ll never find them, might as well give up ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
No no no…we must continue to waste police resources over this!
Pretty sure it might have been Andre the Giant.
Or it could have been the Mexican Cleaning Lady from Family Guy.
No, no
I’m thinking they’re gonna arrest Timothy Chalamet any moment now
