that's AT LEAST two different people and two different backpacks.
and like. faceblindness is one thing but how the fuck does one not notice that this backpack is darker than the jacket and the other one is lighter than the jacket
We're gonna find out there were half a dozen dudes who got together and wore vaguely similar outfits and then swapped clothing several times right before and after and then established various alibis.
if i were the person who did this i would have at least five other people dressed similarly or close enough going all over the place to throw them off.
White dude in slim pants, neutral hooded jacket, nice backpack? I feel like he doesn't need to plan this in Midtown Manhattan in December, it just happens
sure, but what magic would change the relative lightness of backpack to jacket. what light or camera conditions make a lighter-than-jacket backpack suddenly darker-than-jacket?
I have no idea how you can confidently say that based on what we can see but I can't stop you from doing it. I would mention that the NYPD didn't say (at least in its post) that it's the same person as the pics at Starbucks
Oh no, this is the blue dress/white dress 2024 deserves
(fwiw, the Peak Design bag the suspect has has very clean lines on the side, the second bag seems ... pouchy at the bottom, but that can be just the camera angle and the way he's holding it)
Geez. This reeks of them not finding the perp until an exhaustive manhunt turns up nothing until a random citizen finds them in their dry-docked boat in their backyard. Or after five years of macguyvering it in the woods. Geez.
The only thing I can think of is that they were able to backtrace his movements to this location. I really hope they're not dumb enough to release a photo without a significant amount of evidence. But who knows 🤷♂️
You’re not a very visual person then. The backpack is a completely different color. The hood has a snap closure on the first guy, a drawstring closure on the second guy. I could go on.
They even admitted that they're not sure these photos are the same guy.
"The official added that comparisons of the possible suspect names and the photo of the suspect released this morning were inconclusive."
Its the same kind of profiling that they're used to doing to every person of color, ever.
Since they found a jacket in the bag and dude was wearing a jacket in the cab later, i think we can all accept the "man has two jackets" theory as plausible now
it does beggar belief that this guy was careful enough to wear a mask most of the morning— including reportedly at the hostel he was alleged to be sharing a room at— but took down his mask to shoot the shit at the Starbucks counter down the road of the intended target zone at 6am?
The latest photos appear to be taken from a security camera behind the desk of the lobby of the hostel the alleged shooter stayed at. Here's a photo of the lobby from the hostel's website - you can see the distinctive floor and chair in the background.
He definitely had more than one bag and jacket. He was wearing his hood and mask most of the time in public it seems like. Used a fake ID to check into the hostel. A lot of thought went into what he did, specifically how to get away with it.
I noticed another shot had the hot guy with a black backpack. I can understand maybe ditching/adding a raincoat you had over a thicker coat but you can’t just be hiding a whole nother backpack somewhere.

All AI is shit, and the NYPD is shit, and when you combine them you get double shit.
THIS IS A THIRD DIFFERENT DUDE
HOW ARE COPS SO FUCKING STUPID

they're not trying to actually catch anyone are they. this is just fucking around
I'm pretty sure 4 has a different bridge of the nose shape than the suspect, too.
STILL
WHAT
HE'S CHANGING INTO SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT VERSIONS OFF THE SAME OUTFIT
WHAT A PRO
