Maybe I’m just face-blind or being dense but the photos from the scene of the crime look like a different dude than the ginning hostel check in guy. The jackets and backpacks are different. Although people can have multiple jackets and backpacks. We don’t see much of the shooters face but the eyebrows look different. Although, people can pluck/shave eyebrows. I guess the happy hostel guy would have come forward and been like “WTF?” and “I have an alibi” if it wasn’t him?

    I wouldn’t be surprised if a significant portion of the NYPD cares just as little about finding this guy as the rest of us care about them finding him.

    “Yes yes, we take it very seriously. Look, he was wearing a hoodie!”

      I mean… The police has to know that elites hate them as much as they hate regular peasants

            The bottom line is that the elites don’t “hate” their armed enforcers… they hire them as disposable.

            Cops think they are heroes for being the armed thugs for the elites.

            It’s like asking if a mob boss hates their hitmen or their other goons. No, they don’t, but they know they are disposable and loyal.
