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.

Have we ruled out the CEO being a crisis actor?

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

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.

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

Weird.

Doesn't look like anything to me.

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.

Different bag. Different jacket.

NYC cops are dumb as hell.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

The nose I can go either way on. It looks "different" to me but wearing a mask and not grinning makes a huge difference there (it is why you are told to not smile for ID photos). The eyebrows are more a function of angle and resolution as you can see some darkness on the left (and he is obviously scowling and not flirting with a cute desk girl).

As for the jacket and backpack? Too lazy to look up the backpack models (people figured it out) but the one on the left looks small enough to fit in the one on the right. So he has his backpack for travel and then a smaller one full of gun and snacks and whatever else for the stakeout.

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

Never talk to the cops without a lawyer and NEVER voluntarily talk to them.

Also? The cops are going to find SOMEONE in the next week or so. And you can be damned sure they are going to take advantage of all of the news and social media about how this is a skilled hitman fighting for the loss of a loved one who WILL NOT BE TAKEN ALIVE. They'll corner whoever they can pin it on, shoot them a few times, and then plant a gun and call it a day.

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

Well I'm terrible at this game because all 4 of those look like different people

These are all different people, and two of the images look fake.

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.
