There was always the possibility that he changed backpacks and clothing. I’m not sure why people aren’t entertaining that idea.
We are not privy to all of the facts.
Meh for Chala-meh 😂
Though he does look more like the shooter, than Gyllenhaal, who looks more like the hostel guy. But my main thing – Gyllenhaal fits better as a clearly heroic character.
"In surveillance, the phrase money shot often refers to the specific image or footage in which the perpetrator commits the act; that is, in which the perpetrator is caught in flagrante delicto."
no it's pretty common for hitmen staying at youth hostels to travel with several options for outerwear and backpacks and to casually flirt with receptionists while on camera
Absolute facts. It is so obviously not him that I have to imagine the police already know and are just trying to seem like they are doing their jobs...but it could get the Starbucks guy killed. I doubt they care, but I do.
Yep, because rich asshole. If it was some random asshole they'd solve it with as much publicity as, well, any random asshole on the street would get. No fanfare, no $10K reward, no sense of urgency. The police exist to protect the rich and their property, so they have to look like they're doing it.
The only place I disagree with you here is that the cops know key need to “solve” this to make their corporate handlers happy but appearance of solving it is more important than anything else.
The cops, being regular people, understand this shooter isn’t armed and dangerous to anybody except rich
I find it interesting that United isn't putting up a reward.
An alternative conspiracy theory: Thompson was being investigated for insider trading. What if he was about to talk? I don't believe this myself, but I think the probability is greater than zero.
Unless he changed his hoodie and backpack, he's just a happy guy at Starbucks. Description doesn't match. How many guys in NY wear hoodies and a backpack?
This isn't the guy, he's wearing a different jacket. But of course the NYPD is no stranger to print away the wrong person and patting themselves on the back.
That guy got double-penetrated with bullets, luckily the glory-hole camera caught all the action as he gave him a happy ending and a dirty sanchez. skeet skeet skeet
The real dude's got much paler skin, is taller by at least an inch, has a narrower nose, less prominent eyebrows, wider shoulders...
But hey, Luigi has darker than white skin and a foreign-sounding name...
Of course they'd try to blame Luigi... Plus, they LOVED the perp-walk
They're RACIST ASSHOLES.
Me too. The NYPD has about a 48-hour window to find a suspect with any certainty. But the people they actually protect & serve want to see consequences.
And I’d bet the guy in the hostel photos is terrified at possibly turning himself in because he knows they’d probably prosecute him anyway despite not being the actual shooter
They don’t look even remotely similar. NYPD just can’t bare to admit they have no idea who the shooter was and are trying to scapegoat this random person. Just my personal belief on the matter.
I agree that, without context about how they linked these two, it’s hard to understand how they are linked, but people also do tend to wear different clothes on different days, especially if one set were used in a crime and disposed of.
In the definition of a published photograph that grabs people's attention it's valid. I didn't even say it was a good money shot, but OP is acting like money shots only apply to porn which was the entire point of my comment and nothing to do with whether or not this guy is the shooter
We do not agree with people who are calling his actions the “pearl necklace of karma” or the “Cleveland steamer of justice” or the “donkey punch of the unheard” or “three bullets, one cup” or “bullet avoidance denial kink”
Our kids elementary gym teacher told parents to go to a certain spot to get the “money shot” (photo) over a loud speaker during their fun run last week.

Also, might I suggest to @youranoncentral.bsky.social that y’all make this the new mask - Guy Fawkes was a failure.
I honestly think people would donate to it to help him beat any criminal charges.

If so, they could have done it even if he has multiple jackets and backpacks and scarfs.
He might had remove scarf bc ID requirements.

So it is coincwdence that there is hoodie guy look-a-like with fake ID, but not him.
Ok, possible, maybe that is standard drug dealer costume. But not likely.
Also, the police would like to find the killer; but they NEED to find a patsy and fast.
A targeted attack like this presents absolutely zero danger to the public at large.
They just need to get the case buried

Look how handsome.
A paltry $10,000 reward? Nobody's going to turn him in for that. Offer them Thompson's annual salary as a reward and people might think about it.
on the day of, we were shown the picture of the guy supposedly with the same bag on and his mask pulled up
but the jacket is different, and the straps are the opposite color, black instead of white
They're clearly floundering and should just give up on the search of him.
That was a pic I never want to see again 🤢🤮

Stop sniggering at the back.
