it may be true that he isn't currently a convict, but he is most certainly going to become a convict, so it's not entirely factually incorrect, just misrepresented.

you can call it an appeal to authority fallacy, but unless you're going to overthrow the government, you must quite literally, appeal to the authority.

Even if he's convicted, we still wont know if he's the perp or some scapegoat.

Believing he's a scapegoat requires you to also believe the fbi is incredibly competent, and were able to find a person wearing similar clothes as the perp who also happened to be in the same general area who also hated CEOs and then blast his face across the media then let him go for 4 days before picking him up in a different state.

Not to mention if the "real" killer struck again, the whole charade falls apart in the worst way.

Finding people that look similar is trivial.

Dude isn't exactly Elton John, it's a hoodie and a backpack.

Cool, that's one of several qualifications I mentioned.

depends on whether you think the US government is entirely corrupt i guess.
