Exactly, ‘someone’ is playing with people trying to turn this into a race issue when race has nothing to do with Jan 6. That someone wants to get as many conservatives as possible to blame a black guy so the Democrats’ claims of racism, like the bullshit from the “anonymous sources” in the police dept who claimed “Trump supporters” called them n**rs during the riot. [If anyone would benefit from using racial epithets during the riot it would be those agitators from Antifa/BLM/whatever- at least one of whom was present to video the shooting right outside the Speaker’s office and who had scouted the way the day before as a visitor - note the guy works for a cybersecurity firm out west which apparently has a really bad screening process for employees if this guy got a job there.

That claim Trump supporters used the nword [against police, while carrying thin blue line flags] recalls the same line of lies that Speaker Pelosi and Cummins and other Dems tried to claim about the definitely undeniably peaceful Tea Party rally when Pelosi grabbed her ridiculously oversized gavel and some black Democrats and paraded through the Tea Partiers hoping to incite some random dork into calling them racist names. She was unsuccessful, of course, and never succeeded in producing proof that anyone used a racial epithet, but if anyone wants to guess who is trying to plant claims in alternate media that the shooter was Bailey they need look no farther than Pelosi’s team.

If any such epithets were used during the riot against police, odds are those using them were anarchist/leftwing agitators like the ones dressed more like antifa types who led the way breaking windows, a classic antifa/blm move to start riots elsewhere all year long. The only difference was the windows in this case weren’t those of a bakery, drug store, auto parts place, or other private business.

The shooter’s wrist was not slender nor would his fingernails be visible since the view is of the backside of his right hand which was extended to the right- the fingernails would only be visible from the other side of the gun. “Populist Press” sounds like a nonsense site, and photoshopping crap is not “enhancement.”

He’s right, the shooter looks nothing like the guy.

It’s clear enough to see the shooter doesn’t even remotely resemble Bailey the Brazilian, though not clear enough to discern fingernails as some other troll claimed.

Could be, weren’t they also associated with Utah, some arrested around the same time as the riots there attended by Sullivan ?

Later they open the Capitol doors to allow Trump Supporters to come inside the building:

Black man/woman/it shooting unarmed woman in Capitol Bldg? He was possibly not a cop/guard? How about maybe a congressit?

And even these image clips are tightly cropped so as to mislead the eye. The guy appears “dark” only because he’s backlit and in front of a bright background, but in the tight crop it’s not obvious how the backlighting is messing with the phone’s equivalent of a lightmeter, which is detecting the light in the whole scene, not reading the dimmer light in the frame where the hand is.

It also looks distorted, stretched a bit horizontally, compared to the original.

Yes, they know, but they’re peddling the line that he is merely a videographer who has hashtagged BLM and Antifa on his social media but that’s it. Technically the only organization we know he is involved in and not merely hashtagging is the one he admits he founded, InsurgenceUSA, which is a social justice/police “reform” group. Read “reform” to mean to weaken police. Not sure if he has said on the record anything like defunding police.

Well he certainly ain’t white. The first time I watched the video without pausing he looked ‘non-white’.

The stills reinforced my observations. Beyond that, the only proof is that which the website accurately cites: A DC law which mandates identifying the officer.

7 days later and no official ident.

Curious, coupled with the fact that the shooter appears to be black. All things being equal, history suggests simple math.

But as opposed to defending the website’s ‘declaration’, I only cite reinforcement of my own observations, awaiting - as the website accurate cites (again) - a formal announcement from DC as required by law.

Good grief! I was reporting what I saw and heard. You obviously aren’t aware of the site and sure as hell weren’t involved.

"Cool. It looks like you acknowledge the freeze frame option did not exist for me so telling you to fuq off was the right thing to do. Glad we arrived at this level of agreement."

OK, I will attempt one last time to establish meaningful connectivity with the 1 or 2 functioning neurons (hopefully) remaining in your cranial space, after the others were destroyed by toxins from the garbage clickbait conspiracy sites you frequent.

One last time: I do not have access to some sophisticated "freeze frame" technology that is denied to you. Literally billions of others before you have effortlessly figured out how to use a "Pause" button to pause and restart playback of a video. But this accomplishment is apparently still on your Bucket List of "Someday, learn how to do..."'s.

It never dawned on me that someone like you who has successfully navigated through the technological gauntlet required to post on FR, would also be one of those rare birds who are forced to re-watch in its entirely every DVD movie they put on, twice in a row, back-to-back, in order to catch scenes they missed the first time while on potty break.

OK, Kevmo and logi_cal869. I made it simple for you. I went and researched how to make an animated GIF extracted from a video (something each of you could have done too, but noooo), and then made a slow-motion - 2-frames-per-second - full-sized Animated GIF from the full-sized video. I include just the part that shows any piece of the shooter's head.

Now, look at it on your screen, and still claim that's not a white guy!

So that we can revisit this later when the shooter is finally ID'ed, and because you've both been so obnoxious in your replies so far, I am challenging you to both go on record right here - stating that the shooter is obviously the same as this guy:

Here's the video - 13MB large so it may take a couple of seconds to load on slower connections:

What I said was that the original video wasn’t as clear as you said it was. Since you think such a position is obnoxious it is tome for you to bugger off.

You're obviously foreign to the science of color palette.

His wrist contrasts with the white shirt and his face blends with his black mask.

Your eyes lie; the colors prove it.

Pictured above, left to right:
Color sample of shooter's wrist,
Color sample of shooter's forehead,
Color sample of Ashli Babbitt's face.

Fail.

Question: What's your bias?

I don't know who the shooter is, but the explanation laid out in the OP fits, obviously much to your chagrin.

My original comment stands.

My money's on black.

"tome for you to bugger off."

No, it's "tome" for you to eat crow very soon, when they release the name of the shooter.

"the explanation laid out in the OP fits,"

You have me confused with someone else. I have only been pushing back against a sub-thread stemming from a link someone posted here to a cocakmamie story at Redpilled.ca. How you get "OP" from that is anyone's guess. (Operation Preposterous? Or perhaps the hallucinations you've lately been suffering from abusing your Opioid Prescription?)

"You're obviously foreign to the science of color palette."

LOL! I know more about color palettes than you ever will, as I've worked with them between 2 and 4 days each week for 14 years now.

"Your eyes lie; the colors prove it. Pictured above, left to right:...Fail"

LOL x 2! Well, you at least got one word right in all of that: "Fail".

Cherry-picking exactly one pixel out of one frame here, and another pixel out of another frame there, and multiplying each into a rectangle and going "Voila! Q.E.D.!" proves nothing more than that you are eminently qualified for a position as SpinMeister at CNN / MSNBC, writing copy for their talking heads.

"My money's on black." Yes. Good, good, good. Put your claim out here, clearly stated.
And get ready for your next meal.

You keep arguing against something I never said. And now you’re arguing from the future, yet another classical fallacy. You should take a critical thinking class.

"You keep arguing against something I never said."

So you don't remember going on and on about some mythical "Freeze Frame" option that I supposedly had access to and you didn't, when in fact it was just me pushing a Pause button on a video playback, an action that it's still unclear you have yet to master?

And you don't remember your obnoxious potty mouth spewing forth in at least 3 posts: "..... bulllsshiiite .... so fuq off." .... "so telling you to fuq off was the right thing to do" ..... "bugger off?"

"You should take a critical thinking class."

Rather, you should seek treatment both for your Alzheimers, and for new eyeglasses that will allow you to read something you wrote.

"And now you’re arguing from the future, yet another classical fallacy."

LOL! In that post I merely predicted you will eat crow soon. And you have spun that into "arguing from the future" and a "classical fallacy" ... whuuuut?!?

And it is _me_ who needs classes in critical thinking?

C'mon, fess up ... didn't you just copy/paste all these insults at random from a "Comprehensive List of 1001 Handy Insults" wiki?

Hmmmm ... maybe you're actually a bot, and a poorly coded one at that. Whoever constructed you went on the cheap and hired some third-rate apprentice programmer from Mumbai ...... am I getting warm?
