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.
Even they are gonna have a hard time justifying a conviction with "b-but we saw it in a meme!", I think.
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.
