MODERATORS
I thought this image had already been vehemently claimed as not the guy, in order to stop putting this guy at risk.
Internet must stop chasing updoots as a priority over chasing the right information.
Risk of what? Hugs and cheers?
Being targeted by the FBI as a way to show action being taken.
Or weird nerds doing the Smithers thing.
I Think they might have seen this picture already!
I am not an expert obviously so I will admit I might be wrong here, but overall I feel the likelihood is pretty low.
Yeah because the alphabet gang needs a reason and a crazy "smithers" thinks reasonable and logically? I mean you might as well say it's not safe in NYC for anyone. Quit your pearl clutching and live a little deliciously.
That doesn't mean we need to help them with their propaganda.
Reprisals and doxxing.
If it's not him, I'm happy to share this image far and wide. If it is him, I'd feel a bit dirty about doing the police a favor and get everyone looking for the guy.
If its not him, you are terrifying and doxxing an innocent person with a lovely smile.
That's true, I'd prefer not to share this image at all, I don't think it's helpful.
