That "person of interest" in the pic is not guilty

I guarantee it. If you're planning on orchestrating a violent attack this well planned (remember sniping from vantage points, not just some people wandering into a crowd and opening fire), you're not going to walk around in public easily photographable with your face visible and your gun out and visible too.

That also explains why he surrendered. If he's innocent that can prove it, plus it's probably safer for him than potential vigilante justice. A guilty person would have no reason to surrender to this. I mean come on, how is a cop killer in Texas NOT getting lethal injection?

I'm not willing to bet many things about this so far, but I'll bet that.

That was reported by his brother and a couple of friends on http://dfw.cbslocal.com/show/cbs-11-live-video/

"Dallas police tweeted out a photo of one man whom Brown said was a “person of interest.” Brown noted that the man was wearing camouflage and had a rifle strapped over his shoulder.

However, march co-organizer Cory Hughes was quick to say police had the wrong man. He said the man whose photo police tweeted out was his brother Mark Hughes, who was carrying the gun as allowed by his Second Amendment rights.

Hughes said he asked his brother to hand the gun over to a police officer, and told KTVT-TV, CBS11 in Dallas that Mark gave the gun to an officer and went home.

“That’s my little brother. That’s not the suspect,” Cory Hughes said. “He just walked away.”"
