It’s really funny how people started off saying as a joke it wasn’t him/eyebrows look different, as a sort of protest against his arrest.
And then people started to take the jokes seriously, and now we have a massive conspiracy theory that like a third of people on lemmy believe it isn’t him, lol.
Why are you so sure that people said it as a joke at first?
The first pic of the person actually at the scene of the crime looks significantly less like Mangione than the other ones. I don't believe it's a coincidence they stopped showing those once they had their sights set on a suspect. I don't think it was a joke that people were saying that very first picture looked different.
