Refrain from 1-line or very-minimal responses.

If your focusing on every crevice of the right hand, your missing the evidence of what the left hand is up to, thereby ignoring any real evidence that may afford insight as to who the real culprit is. The left hand is already doing plenty to offer such insight. It doesn't take analyzing every shred of confused misinformation to see what's going on here. I'm not ruling out an organic nature to the incident, however, I know enough of history to realize the actual evidence will yield little to no confirmation of truth, I don't need to wait another day or decade for whatever doctored lie may surface. They will parade a patsy, restore the common faith in "justice" and the system necessary to align with the trajectory of the rest of the speculative nonsense that makes the average beLIEver sleep better for the time being, all the while rousing the same emotional machines they put to work every time, leveraging that faith and emotion to continue the trajectory of the bigger picture that's unraveling.

I personally think general speculation is harmless when it's general and presented as pure speculation. I think the line is crossed with an 18 Wheeler when speculation includes real world names or clear faces who may or may not be involved at all. Everyone recall the Olympic Park bombing and how much trouble it cause for authorities to have tagged the wrong guy. It effectively ended his life in many ways, virtually on the spot. (He sued everyone in sight later ...but who wouldn't after that?)
Just my two cents... (Oh..and of course, the minutes after, are perhaps a bad time to start the wild theories ....as many got pretty bent about. Myself included. Just a little time to at least know what happened is helpful I think.)

I do agree with you. I think the difference is clear enough in even pictures between some I first saw of a guy on the roof from a distance and simply showing a where and general who for authorities to look if they hadn't already .....to the close and so specific, facial recognition run through the internet could just have a lucky hit to get a name.
I mentioned this a couple times back when I had first gotten to ATS but I was one of those happy campers that got called in for the Oklahoma City Bombing as a potential "Un-Sub #2". Some crazy former employer clear out in California thought I looked like the sketch (Which, honestly, I did to a degree that shocked even me for one of them). The FBI agents I spent the morning with...their place, not mine...assured me they called in some 10,000 other people around the nation for similar little chats. (Which I later found to likely be about accurate too). That didn't lessen the feeling of how close it could have been. When that happened, I was in a classroom, earning my Commercial Drivers License to be a trucker. A year before that, I'd been homeless and living in a car with my wife (same, and only 1 ever.) with no way to prove that.
Yeah.. I'm kinda sensitive about false accusations too when it's specific.
As to the facial recognition software comment. Are those readily available to the public at a decent price? With out even searching for that information, I'm guess that it's next to impossible to get, or incredibly expensive. The database alone for such technology would be so large, if commercially available, would almost imply some form of internet, portal or server access. I could be wrong though... that happens a lot.
