That's not the same person though. Unless they changed backpack and jacket.
- And if that's so, that makes it even worse. Why the fuck should whoever that is be in the crosshairs if he isn't even the guy?
  
  Nobody should be volunteering the identities of anyone to law enforcement without their consent and/or a valid warrant.
  
  Well, I'm putting HI New York City Hostel on my don't ever support list. I love visiting NYC and they're never getting a dollar out of me now.
- Why the fuck would you change jackets and backpacks into something vaguely similar if you’re trying to disguise yourself? Clearly the police fucked up.
  
  The killers closet:
  
  what if the killer thought the police would be thinking the way you are and acted accordingly to confuse them?
  
  It's not a fuck up to interview fitting suspects
- I believe that this photo was purported to have been taken as many as 10 days prior, and it's also highly likely that he bought the Peak backpack just for the shooting, since it was later found abandoned.
  
  How do they know it's him?
Can someone give me a quick tldr in who/what Screen Slate is?
- Screen Slate is a guide to moving image culture in New York, the SF Bay, and beyond. We share city-specific daily listings of arthouse/repertory cinema and gallery shows and publish original cultural criticism, interviews, zines, and podcasts. We also connect the film community in-person with our own screenings and events.
Are people basing this on anything or are they just assuming the hostel volunteered the information?
- Shut up, we're hunting collaborators, and anyone who doesn't participate is one.
