Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

"Stop publishing the face picture so people maybe we won't notice that his unibrow doesn't match the shooter's clearly defined and separated eyebrows." Not convinced that he is claiming credit for / being blamed for someone else's actions.

I don't really get what the point of shoveling this conspiracy around is. The early photos were low resolution security cameras zoomed in. Shit like thin hair in the middle of a unibrow can disappear into the skin during compression.

Maybe its him, maybe its not him, but this entire conspiracy theory is kinda based on nothing.

One of these is a straight on HD photo and one of these is a blurry mess from an above angle.

Look, here's another one that seems inconsistent with both of these despite being the same day as one of the pictures you posted:

Peddling this conspiracy theory will only distract from useful messages you could be spreading right now and make you look insane to normies.

[–] Bureaucrat@hexbear.net 5 points 6 days ago (1 children)

The picture you posted has the unibrow.

[–] macabrett@lemmy.ml 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Do you notice how it is less thick and pronounced in this photo than the one you posted? Lighting / resolution / angle all impact how thin hair appears.

All beside the point, there's nothing to be accomplished by running around claiming they're different people. It's a pointless conspiracy, it won't get him out. If they're framing him, they're framing him, but these photos are not the evidence that they're framing him.

Yeah I do, which is why I didn't dispute it could disappear, but rather pointed out that it was not just the middle of the brow, but all the way past the end of the eyes. Do you notice how the picture you posted still has the unibrow?

I disagree.

If they're framing him, they're framing him, but these photos are not the evidence that they're framing him.

Agreed, they're part of a larger package.

This is a weird use of the Bureaucrat handle

I've never felt comfortbale posting before and now something in me has unlocked shy

It's the freedom of being part of a pup girl hive mind. Let your inner poster reign.

We're on an arc right now

A CCTV couldnt pick up a unibrow that thin especially under harsh lighting

[–] Bureaucrat@hexbear.net 1 points 5 days ago

Which I still haven't argued against.

  1. they found his fingerprints at the starbucks he went to

  2. the picture of him in the taxi isn't high enough resolution to show the unibrow

it's definitely him

Death to America

Forensics outside of trial cannot be trusted. Hell, forensics during trial are often completely untrustworthy. I highly doubt we will know the veracity of the fingerprints claim until trial.

[–] Bureaucrat@hexbear.net 14 points 6 days ago

Fingerprints and all other forensics are often faulty if not outright doctored
