    Exactly. The media—and people as a whole—need to stop automatically assuming he’s the killer. Even those who support him are still acting like he’s the one who did it. What happened to innocent until proven guilty?

      Agreed. The shooter was smart enough to ditch the backpack. Why wouldn’t the gun be in it?

      Wait a minute… if it was, then the cops would have it, but if they told everyone it was in the backpack they wouldn’t have it to plant on some sap. But the cops would never mishandle evidence, would they? 🤔

      He’s the wrong guy entirely. His build doesn’t look like those earlier NYPD photos showing the dude actually shooting the other dude. Not-Guilty. I think the NYPD picked up the wrong guy on purpose as an, “oops, I guess it’s a cold case now.”
