No Stupid Questions

I guess the happy hostel guy would have come forward and been like “WTF?” and “I have an alibi” if it wasn’t him?

I sure as fuck wouldn't. I know enough not to come anywhere near the police if they're scrutinizing me for any reason, even if I know 100% I'm innocent and I can prove it. You absolutely cannot trust them not to just arrest you and railroad you into a bullshit conviction anyway, or plant some evidence, or decide "he had a knife" and just outright kill you. You know how they say "anything you say can be used against you?" That's because they absolutely won't use it to help you, even if you're not guilty of anything.

I am positive city hall is breathing down the NYPD's neck real hard right now. The entire department has got a lot of egg on its face for not being able to stop this guy, not being able to positively identify this guy, hell, not even know with any certainty where he went afterwards. They are under immense pressure to hang somebody -- anybody -- over this because they're looking even more like chumps than usual.

So no, a wise man would not expose himself to the cops in any way whatsoever.

CNN and others just put the photos out without verification. No official photos have been released. CNN even said as much in their article

Definately 7' 8" female. Asian descent. Bald. Possible Alopecia. Dwarfism.

Have we ruled out the CEO being a crisis actor?

Doesn't look like anything to me.

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.

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 clothing color could be due to lighting. Remember the blue black dress meme? Multiple backpacks is too easy. So that's a non-issue.

That being said. Why isn't anyone considering that maybe the cops couldn't give a shit either. But they have to try because the money people said so.

Reminder even facial-recognition softwares & Geo-Location data HAVE made errors that put innocent people in jail

Everyone keeps saying look at this photo of the suspect. All I see is an image that won’t load.

Weird.

I keep seeing the backpack as not matching, I don’t get how these are considered the same person, unless is going to be the next blue-black white-gold thing.

Different bag. Different jacket.

Wow. Dark haired male in dark hooded jacket and back pack. Rare. I see slightly less than 30 such most days.

NYC cops are dumb as hell.

These are not the same person. They fit the description, and where near the scene. Police would want to talk to both regardless.

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.

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.

Yeah the shooter had something more like a rain jacket. But he may have put on the rain jacket that he wasn't wearing earlier when going out to shoot the guy. Backpack is different, but that may have been stashed in the park.

But what seems odd to me is that this whole thing was obviously premeditated, but a guy that's intent on murder is smiling and chatting up the receptionist? I guess that's possible, but something that further suggests that it's a different dude.

We really only have the top half of the faces looking somewhat similar in a couple of grainy images. It's plausible it's the same guy, but given the information we have, it's more likely not. But we don't have all the information, so who knows?

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.

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.

These all look like different people with photos from different places at different times of the day. Probably their AI matched them and the coppers just had a quick glance, then put them on this panel.

Honestly, I doubt the person who shot him would actually be mad at being caught. He might've started a movement.
