    I hate how they have framed it as "he was flirting with the cashier". Incorrect, he was checking in at a hostel where he was required to remove his mask to confirm his identity (which the one he provided them was fake). Dude has such good opsec outside of the Starbucks that he only removed his mask when it was necessary. Crazy amount of discipline.

      Why tf did he drink a starbucks and a water bottle and just throw it in the trash though?

      I doubt he has his own DNA in any database, but they can figure out who you are based on your relatives that have done Ancestry DNA and stuff

        I'd say it was an oversight, maybe he thought the trash would be taken out by then. That was a stupid thing to do though, maybe it is thumbing his nose abit at the cops?

    nypd and all these media outlets are gonna be sued so fucking hard by this dude, who is wearing a different jacket than the shooter, and doesn't have a backpack. the shooter was wearing a coat with a hood on it. this dude is wearing a hoodie under a jacket. the shooter had a gray backpack on. idk if this one even has a backpack.

      This is allegedly a photo from days prior to the deed when he was checking into a hostel, so it's plausible that he was wearing a different jacket then (hopefully it's not him though)

        imo the entire argument the nypd made for this being him is that it looks like his clothes at first glance. but that falls apart once you actually compare the two and they're not the same at all. and i feel like, what person is bringing multiple jackets to an assassination? i assume the idea is to travel light as possible and jackets take up a lot of space. maybe if he wore one jacket to ny, ditched it, and bought a different one, but again the entire thing about this being him is predicated on it looking like him until you actually compare them so i just think nypd is reaching

    some translators for news organizations are going to have fun rendering this idiom into other languages

    Someone may need to break out the bat on me. They're making this too easy.
