Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Kenny Klipz has the goods. This is the real thing, most likely.

BTW it's not behind paywall so do our guy some good and give him some traffic for the scoop.

Some of it could be angle, but yeah chin seems longer and as if it has a sharper cut. Nose seems more rounded too.


This

Compared to

Lighting, angles, even picture fidelity can do a lot to change the structure of a face, not to mention lenses (look at your face on a phone cam compared to a camera with a lens that's more than a micrometer away from the shutter) so though I agree the chin looks off... in almost all pictures, it's not at all impossibe. The teeth seem different for me and no lens will make a tooth gap where there isn't one, but that could also just be a shadow or a weird pixel. The eyebrows too. I'd love to see the whole security cam footage of him revealing his face in that hostel. Also his nose seems different.

not trying to argue whether this is/isn't the dude, I've had questions about the eyebrows etc too, but

no lens will make a tooth gap where there isn't one

I have unfortunate personal experience to the contrary. I do not have a gap between my front teeth irl, but I have an old driver's license photo from my early 20s that makes it look like you could put two quarters between them.

it was so bad, I said I lost it and paid to do the whole process over again just to get a new picture done, I could not be taking that out to the bars with me ๐Ÿ’€ but it was so funny that I kept it and genuinely enjoy showing it off. it's ridiculous, idk how tf the lighting made that happen, but it did ๐Ÿคท

if there were any way to post it without doxxing myself, I would, because it is genuinely that hilariously bad.

Wow that's horrible, but also very funny. Now I know!

The nose is definitely different imo. Even in the other picture of the hostel guy the nose doesn't look exactly the same. Looking at the picture again the hostel guy seems to have much thicker eyelashes than Luigi.

Looks like the hostel guy has a strand of hair visible above his right eye as well? That would imply he has a different haircut to Luigi

[โ€“] quarrk@hexbear.net 2 points 1 week ago

That would be his eyebrow

[โ€“] MidnightPocket@hexbear.net 5 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Need an in-custody picture of him smiling to really tell. And good luck getting one of those int the time period it would still be relevant.

[โ€“] quarrk@hexbear.net 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

His nose looks distinctively the same to me. It has a somewhat unique break about 2/3 from the top that is present in all photos. Plus if you look at the hair pattern of his eyebrows against his nose, I see it in the CCTV photo too.

[โ€“] Bureaucrat@hexbear.net 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I see the same eyebrow pattern too, but I see the nose in CCTV photo as rounded, whereas Luigi has a slight tilt/sharper angle, but it's all just pixels and wishful thinking really. I'm not gonna look more at the italian thirst trap assassin himbo
