After viewing the synced video of both the live camera and Flanagan's, I am losing my suspicion that the shooting video itself could have been faked or edited.
My first question:
-What's with the "fiancé"?
Before the words "hoax" or "false-flag" even entered my mind, I was chilled by Chris Hurst's Twitter posts. My immediate impression was that he seemed to be overplaying his relationship with the reporter (now that she's gone, who's to say different?) and that, to me, he appeared to be using this tragedy as a PR event for himself. He's with her, deeply in love, living together, and not a single soul knew? Even at first glance of the photo of them on Twitter, his mannerisms from the way he is openly placing his hand on her back to their facial expressions, I immediately thought that this guy looks like a person who has stalked and attempted to court a nice young lady. A lady who is too polite to turn him down.
As for his interviews: No tears shed. Multiple interviews directly after the loss of "the love of his life", all of which he brought his prop photo album to show off. He even has trouble answering the simplest of questions.. like "how did you find out?". It would be normal to expect someone would be tongue-tied and distraught after such a devastating event, but his lack of response seemed to be more that his script didn't include those questions, not that his mind was at a loss.
Another interesting inconsistency is regarding the timing of his Twitter posts. Apologies if this has been debunked, but I have not seen any definitive answer regarding this. Chris Hurst posted about the tragedy at 6:31AM. The shooting occurred 15 minutes later, at around 6:46AM. My first guess was that I was viewing the modified time zone (I'm in PST, if I'm viewing a tweet he posted at 6:46AM my time, that would be 9:46AM EST. This would make sense)
My question is: Can someone confirm what the exact time Chris Hurst posted his Twitter updates at?
Please keep an open mind when responding to this, I am new to this sub and am not trying to be insensitive, or to insult anyone. A great tragedy happened, and I do not aim to discount this. I am merely another interested CT. Let me know what you think!
