    I mean they say this is the guy they’re looking for…but is it?? I don’t recognize him at all. Also he doesn’t seem to have that fancy backpack in between pictures. This leads me to believe that these are 2 separate dudes. Clothing colors are also different.

      We don’t know.

      I’m gonna sound like a conspiracy theorist, but what do you think happens if they can’t find a perpetrator? They find a scapegoat. They do that often, even with low-profile cases, what makes you think they won’t do it for a high-profile case?

        I mean there’s a million eyes on them, they’re either gonna get the right or the whole DA is gonna be in a world of shit.

        If it comes out they intentionally framed someone cause they couldn’t find the right guy, there’s no way this won’t come out. Already disregarding the heightened likelyhood on jury nullification and general unwillingness for the public to cooperate.

        There’s so many news stations in proximity and so many people who’d speak out in a nanosecond, they can’t even get to fuck around before they find out.

        Also the guy on the bottom has cheekbones for days. Guy on the top is less defined. Can’t be the same person.

    Just pointing out that had it been an average Joe who got assassinated and we had a clear picture of the killer’s face we wouldn’t even have heard about it on the news. Now they want everyone to look for him.

      To be fair, a c level assassination is news, whereas a murder in a big city is not. It’s not about the chicken, but the seasoning and presentation, young chef.

        You state this as a norm, to me your perspective of this as an acceptable norm is the problem itself.

        My thoughts :
        Your post states authoritatively what the norm is. No challenge here, that is the norm. True.

        but…
        Why is that the accepted norm?

        and…
        What causes that to be the accepted norm?

        so…
        So if net worth affects the public services you receive in the form of police assistance, bounties, etc… isn’t that an indicator of a larger problem?

        so…
        Who benefits from the stated norms?

        and…
        Should we change those “norms”, kinda seems unfair huh?

        Yes.

        Not perfectly written, but I think you get my jist. I’m so tired of people stating the norms of society as if they are immutable truths and not symptoms of a broken system.

        Have a nice day.

        No worries, I love that they’ve released his face and still no one’s saying shit. The poors are working together for the greater good.

        Edit: Also, why does the first picture look like a young Joe Rogan?

      I like thinking he was avenging some family member(s) who died due to claim denials, or something along those lines. If we find out he’s some Qanon weirdo operating on some conspiracy about endrinochrome or whatever, it’s really going to dampen the vibes.

        I sincerely hope he was. I hope it felt really good. I collected a mountain of screenshots from Facebook today of people who had lifesaving claims denied by them, and it’s so shocking written out even though of course it isn’t.

    Guy on the bottom has a mouse cursor over him so it’s obvious the pic is AI. Can’t prove the top pic isn’t also AI. These pics tell me nothing…this guy probably doesn’t even exist.

      What does a mouse cursor have to do with that? It’s likely just an old school literal screenshot.

        My assumption is that the comment was making a joke to just ignore this face because it isn’t real. I assume they know it is, it’s just an excuse to not pay attention if you see someone who looks like this.

        If anything it makes it less likely to be AI imo. The cursor is pretty much perfect, and you can make out the pixelated diagonal line

    The mayor of New York City literally said in an interview that the guy was masked the whole time and the face pictures were generated using “police techniques”. Why is no one talking about this???

      I think you’re probably misinterpreting the quote. Here’s the reporting on this from the NYT:

      Mayor Eric Adams said Friday morning that the investigation was “on the right track.” In an interview on Spectrum News NY1, the mayor added: “This person was fully masked, and we used good old-fashioned police work to come up with the picture you have.”

      I think what the mayor is saying here is that because the alleged killer was masked, the cops actually had to do some detective work, canvas door-to-door maybe, pull security footage, that sort of thing. It wasn’t just a case of sitting back and running facial recognition on the killer like something outta CSI.

      Unless you’re thinking of a different quote.

        That was the quote. Thanks, I really did not understand that. I mean, if the guy was “fully masked”, they wouldn’t have a face shot. He should have said he was “mostly masked”.

          I assume they meant full masked during the shooting, but if there are enough cameras you can follow where someone originated from before they put their mask on and grab a image of their face from maybe a dozen streets away half an hour before the shooting.

      Mr inbetween is the best show no one has heard of. I’ve watched the whole series multiple times now. I’m sad it was so short. Personally, I think it is better than other popular/critically acclaimed shows like breaking bad.

    Make this into the trolley problem: five people on one side, sad shooter face. One person on the other side requires manual intervention. Happy shooter face.
