    I’m just guessing here, but the left image looks both low red and out of focus while the right one in much higher red and much more in focus, so it could be that the little bit of hair on his brow just doesn’t show up well on the CCTV and that’s why it looks like he has more monobrow hair on the right. I’m not dismissing the possibility that he’s a different person completely, but if I go with an Occam’s razor though process, I’m inclined to lean in the direction of it being a visual thing with the camera+lighting+environment difference rather than being a completely different (but similar looking) person with a weapon like the one used in the shooting and a manefesto and the same style of face mask, ect.

      with a weapon like the one used in the shooting and a manefesto and the same style of face mask, ect.

      All of that could of been planted evidence. Personally I think this could be legit or could be a patsy. I’m 50/50 on it. The back story of a (relatively) rich kid (petit bourgeoisie?) going class traitor because of his personal experiences with the system - pain is a major motivator - is compelling. It’s believable that even the privileged are suffering under our insane healthcare system.

      At the same time, the hit was clearly skilled. The intelligence it took to find the CEO in the right place and time. The ability to shoot accurately, calmly, even when the weapon isn’t working as intended is a skill that requires practice. The ability to get away from the hit cleanly on a bike and evade the Orwellian surveillance system that is NYC and disappear into the abyss for a nearly a week.

      All to get caught with all the evidence on him at a random McDonald’s in bumble fuck PA and acting strange enough to get caught?

      All that planning to get the hit and get out of it but no planning about what comes next? I find that really hard to believe. And while the arrested’s backstory is compelling, is it not that hard to find a someone in similar circumstances in America these days to pin it on?

      And then things get even weirder. He has family ties with Nancy Pelosi. In a country of 330 million, and someone finally pops a member of the elite, what are the chances that the shooter has ties to Pelosi?! I know that sounds like a crazy right wing conspiracy theory but there’s evidence that points to it being true. Maybe it’s just an odd coincidence.

      Maybe the guy didn’t expect to make it out of this alive and didn’t plan for what comes next. Or maybe the shooter is still out on the loose and this is just a (oddly well connected) fall guy to quell the elites fears and make the public forget this ever happened. I’m surprised he was taken alive.

      I have eyebrows which I can make look like almost a mono brow if the picture is a closeup and sharp.

      But if someone takes a photo of me from an upwards direction a bit further away and lower res, it doesn’t look like my eyebrows are even growing together.

      But obviously here it isn’t the same person as I was playing poker with Luigi all night and will vouch for his alibi.
