He is NOT shooting. Just wandering around with other people as the shots begin to fire.

Not saying it means he isn't a real suspect, as we know there's the potential of two shooters, but if they're both snipers...he would've had to get to a tall building fast.

(36,437 posts)They have not the slightest fucking clue who did this, and the people who did are long gone.
This "person of interest" is very clearly not involved, looking as befuddled as everyone else and a good distance from the shooting.
They put his picture up because he was pictured with a rifle, period.
My thoughts:
These shooters were well-trained, with experience in urban combat. They hit ten targets at range quickly, then evaded in combat conditions. They are organized and disciplined. Or they are extremely lucky. I doubt it. Meanwhile, the DPD is running around showing pictures of people walking down the street. It's a big shit sandwich.

(464 posts)...he had one magazine on him that I could see. Even if he had some tucked in under his shirt, they would telegraph by how thick they are, especially if they are double stacked.

(4,446 posts)Clearly he wasn't involved in the shooting. And clearly the police on the scene didn't think so either, because they completely ignored him.
