    To be fair, people were posting actors who look like the very shitty pictures we have of the guy too, and I buy some of them. Honestly, the picture we have looks more like Timothée Chalamet than this guy. I’m not saying it isn’t this guy, or it is Chalamet, but there’s a shit ton of people in this world, and a lot look like the shooter.

    Edit to add: I’ll never trust the word of the authorities. They have to prove that this is the man. It’s their duty, not ours.

      If you look at a photo of the guy taken from above him, so a similar angle to the surveillance camera, he looks very similar. I do think it’s him.

      If you will not trust authorities how do you expect them to prove it to you?

        They’re going to have to take it to court and provide evidence. Trust is what you give to someone without the need for evidence. If they can prove it, then sure I’ll believe it. I’m not just going to trust that they’re correct without that though.

          Is there a reason to think there will be no trial and this guy by some reason will end up in some CIA black site without trial?

          I just find it interesting that someone who has absolutely no trust in authorities does not have a theory that court can be influenced by the same authorities.

            No, he’d end up Epsteined. If the evidence were a plant, he’d be of no use to them alive.

        Even if they proved it was him it doesn’t matter. When OJ was acquitted, Jurors admitted they did it as a fuck you to the LAPD and justice system.
