Maybe I’m just face-blind or being dense but the photos from the scene of the crime look like a different dude than the ginning hostel check in guy. The jackets and backpacks are different. Although people can have multiple jackets and backpacks. We don’t see much of the shooters face but the eyebrows look different. Although, people can pluck/shave eyebrows. I guess the happy hostel guy would have come forward and been like “WTF?” and “I have an alibi” if it wasn’t him?
CNN and others just put the photos out without verification. No official photos have been released. CNN even said as much in their article
That’s pretty fucking irresponsible
“There was a shooting! Police are looking for the suspect! PICTURE OF A CLOWN WITH A GUN HONK HONK”
“Hi we’re CNN. We don’t really have reporters. We regurgitate random shit we find on social media. Liberal, conservative… Suck my dick we’re CNN and we’re always just fucking there butching reality so you stay angry and we stay relevant. Fuck you.”
That’s pretty much how most modern, corporate news outlets operate: irresponsibly.
