    “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.

              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?

                All beside the point, there’s nothing to be accomplished by running around claiming they’re different people.

                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.

      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

        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.
