    Good guy being nice to coffee shop workers. Smiling and saying thank you. Removing problems from the world. A true American Hero.

      Just look at that Hollywood smile. Is it a classic superhero movie with a modern twist? I bet he took some cats from the trees when dropping his bike in the park.

    I swear to God this is like the 10th post I’ve seen of this guy’s face and not ONE is serious about tracking the killer. I fucking love it.

      How do we even know that’s the killer? The person who shot was wearing a mask. For all we know it wasn’t even a man, some women are flat chested it’s possible. They should probably just call off the investigation since there’s no clues for anything.

        Isn’t he wearing different clothes in the pics where his face is visible? And the cops are saying he changed clothes? Which could be true, but also could not be true…

        Fawkes was a religious fanatic who sought to blow up the English Parliament to replace it with a theocracy, so as an actual historical figure, he’s not much of a progressive role model.

    Gosh that gentleman has a nice smile. And he allegedly brought a smile to millions of Americans nationwide, too!

        Yell that you have exclusive CCTV footage of him and post those fever-like AI video continuations instead.
        Shown him turning into Batman on one.

    Call that number and every tipline and report the person responsible for this death and many others - That person’s name was Brian Thompson.

        I live several thousand miles away from NYPD jurisdiction. What are they going to do, call me back to scold me?

          there was a rogue sheriff going to other states and arresting people on prank calls or something like that.

          can’t find video ATM.

        I’m no lawyer, but the legal system calls this “reasonable doubt” and if you are on a jury, you are duty bound to do your best to judge the case on the facts, not vibes.

        And the fact is, a grainy photo of two people who may have somewhat similar clothing is not proof, nor mens rea required for a possible murder conviction - who are we to claim to understand the mind of this individual?

        The state has a high bar to clear that this anonymous shopper, is the same person they claim, the photo was taken on the same day, that this photo isn’t a forgery/deepfake, that only one set of that particular clothing was ever sold- otherwise it’s hearsay and conjecture.

        They’re saying he changed clothes. Which I suppose is possible. Maybe he can also change his height and sex and skin color. Maybe he’s a shapeshifter.

        If this isn’t the right guy and this guy sees his photo he should probably lawyer up and turn himself in ASAP.

      I believe that pic was taken by a security cam from the hostel he was checked into.
