EDIT: According to this, the dude in the meme is not the actual shooter. I haven’t seen any legit sources one way or another. It’s just a meme, please leave this guy alone.

Or get him in touch with Hawk T’ua Girl. Either way, he deserves it.

    Not the most accurate thing, but at least the backpack is correctly identified. The hoodie, shoes, etc unsure of.

      I suspect the backpack is the only correct one because it’s so obvious, and then the others are just the meme riffing on it not being a cheap backpack.

      If I had money to burn I’d be buying that backpack tbh

        The shooter seems fairly smart and like they wanted to get away with it. You don’t buy an expensive recognizable backpack if that’s the case. You buy a cheap generic fabric one, ideally second hand for cash. You also have extra clothes and fabric bags in there to swap out as you escape. That’s almost certainly why it’s so large.

        Backpack is wrong. Shooter’s backpack doesn’t have black zippers, trim, etc. Shoes are also wrong, shooter’s soles don’t have the black bit. Hoodie is way off (wrong material, different design hood). It’s just a joke.

        From what I know of suppressor prices (with legal suppressors requiring literally all of the paperwork and the filing fees to go with it), that suppressor seems like the best deal in the meme

        Edit: Well, the second best deal.

          Something tells me this guy didn’t pay the tax stamp and give the government his exact address and fingerprints when he acquired that suppressor.

          Especially because from the video it doesn’t look like he’s ever shot that suppressed pistol before, or he’d have fixed it to actually cycle the gun properly. Having your gun jam on every shot is not exactly ideal when you’re planning something like this, and it sure sounds like he planned everything else decently well.

          Likely the suppressor was homemade and probably not test fired due to the risk of getting caught. That means this guy likely lives in an urban or suburban area where people are likely to report the sound of muffled gunshots. That only leaves most of the country as suspects.

      Those clearly aren’t the same shoes. Those identified ones have black lines from the print design literally on the side section we can see the clearest in the security video where his are solid white.

        There are shoes that cost 10x that much and people buy them. Hell, Kanye West sold plain white T-shirts ten years ago for $300 each and he sold out in 5 minutes.

        It’s kind of a shit post, except the backpack. The brown jacket he layered over I think might be a Barbour jacket or trucker jacket.

      I’m fairly confident all of those are wrong. The backpack of the shooter doesn’t have the black bits.

      Shooter’s bag looks like 100% fabric (so he can swap it later or ditch/destroy it). If I were him, it’d be a fairly cheap large fabric bag, with a few changes if clothes and extra backpacks inside. Get on a long-distance bus, change in the bathroom, get off before your stop and do this a few more times.

      Also, buy everything from a thrift store. It’d save money and cover your tracks.
