View submission: A United Healthcare CEO shooter lookalike competition takes place at Washington Square Park

It really would be tragic if lookalikes wandered around various parts of NYC to create as many false hits as possible on video surveillance and used up human resources required to actually review and follow up on potential leads, giving the shooter enough time to destroy and potential evidence still training in his possession.

There are probably 5,000 people in NYC dressed like this walking around every day in winter.

Remember the "up to $10,000 reward for information about the shooter?" I sure hope people don't send thousands of credible misleading tips to the NYC police department which might distract the investigation and possibly send officers chasing false leads. That would truly be such a shame.

It would be such a shame. The facial recognition software would have a virtual seizure

The “Thomas Crown” effect…. If only the shooter was wearing a bowler hat.

I'm pretty sure they aren't checking footage from multiple days later
