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-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--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

so they'll plaster white school shooters mugshots all over their 24/7 coverage but when its an ALLEGED ceo shooter they pull out the @Civility@hexbear.net card. ofc this lolbertarian is an incoherent loser but the reality inventing is so obvious lol

Oh hey look, a behind the scenes tour at the consent factory. Neat!

"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 (7 children)

The picture you posted has the unibrow.

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

  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

Mental health questions, shocking crime, manifesto, etc., etc.

That etc., etc. is doing a comical amount of legwork huh?

[–] CoolerOpposide@hexbear.net 5 points 5 days ago

I legit can’t think of what to replace one etc. with, let alone a second etc.

[–] communism@lemmy.ml 27 points 6 days ago

Well I don't think they should be plastering his face everywhere anyway, since he's not been found guilty.

[–] marxisthayaca@hexbear.net 28 points 6 days ago

They are shook

[–] redtea@lemmygrad.ml 25 points 6 days ago

Look forward to the next images:

Chatgpt, give me a photo of a man in shadows playing with bleach bottles and IEDs and make it look like those are necessary components of a making a 3D-printed pistol.

[–] edge@hexbear.net 20 points 6 days ago (1 children)

his profile matches one of a mass shooter... the news value and public service of showing his face is diminishing

As if they don't plaster ever mass shooter's face all over the front page??

[–] QuillcrestFalconer@hexbear.net 23 points 6 days ago

He shot 1 person. By definition that is NOT a mass shooter

[–] Hexboare@hexbear.net 18 points 6 days ago

nite

Yeah that's it, just go ahead and cluster bomb Manhattan at this point
