Because they couldn’t. He bought the bag before they automatically tracked all purchasers with a unique ID on the bags they sell. The CEO of PD actively called the tip line.

    Yup. This is also why protestors are encouraged to wear plain black clothes, like a hoodie, gloves, sunglasses, mask, and black jeans. When everyone is wearing nearly identical clothes, it introduces a lot of reasonable doubt in any resulting security camera footage. It’s called Black Bloc.

      Don’t wear black block if you’re not prepared to be harassed though. Instead wear something theoretically identifiable but bland. Gray shirt, blue jeans, no jewelry, identifiable tattoos covered… You want to look like just another person so that when you walk away nobody thinks you look like a protestor

      And for the love of fuck don’t wear black block while committing solo crimes. It’s about “you just described a lot of people here”
