    I mean, is this just a wild hypothetical? Because it’s really obvious that this isn’t the case. Nothing about this murder was normal. He wasn’t some professional killer because he was sloppy with cameras and the garbage in Starbucks. But he definitely plotted and planned to murder this guy. And then he purposely left evidence of his motive. The gun he used was rare, and he clearly trained with the weapon because of how quickly he was able to clear the jam he had and then kept firing.

      Speculative discussion is pointing towards the smiling guy but bring the same person. Any conclusions to the methods of the shooter are still very fraught.

          You mean how I used the word speculative?

          Or how I said conclusions are fraught?

          You didn’t know any better than anyone else, and perhaps you forget the Boston bomber situation, but it’s always good to slow down on plastering someone’s face/identity on a crime till reports are concrete.

            The police released that information because they were confident in it. It wasn’t reddit.

              And reports from authorities, at the time I commented that, were raising concerns that it may not have been the same person. My comment was one of caution, yours is of luck.

      To be clear: I’m talking about a possibility, not a prediction.

      We’ve nothing to go on but incomplete and likely incorrect public information. It would be foolish of me to entrench around speculation.
