(60,320 posts)For formal pictures, posed pictures, I think she brings her shoulders back and puffs out a bit. Unposed and unpoised between Breaking & Entering, she would naturally take a more relaxed posture and wouldn't seem as "big" up front.
We see wider people and our minds kind of automatically expect an extra layer or two of thickness underneath.
So heavier people can look much like thinner people in cold weather.

(76,706 posts)If I'm wrong, that's ok. As long as they nail that woman with every law they can find, I'll be pleased.
But, I still don't see the "dead ringer", 100% sure it's her. Even with the video analysis.
Hoping it's true, but not optimistic.

Probably won't know with certainty until the FBI arrests Bullhorn Lady.
ProfessorGAC
(76,706 posts)...I hear 2 different speaking voices. She was yelling in both.
I will admit that in the video she seemed 3/4ths in the bag.
That would explain voice cadence differences, I suppose.
But, I also have a logic barrier.
She was there for a few hours on tour, then clearly remembered shortcuts, and room connections on the lower level?
The bullhorn instructions seemed too detailed to be provided by somebody who was there for 3 hours.
Buckeye_Democrat
(15,526 posts)... extraordinary evidence, and it hasn't reached that level for me yet.
I just can't discount it based on the facial similarities that I've seen:
1. Mouth/cheeks/chin, as focused upon in the overlap video.
2. Nose, with the same faint "crease" at the end of it based on another pic of Q*bert's mother. (If you know what that nose feature is called, please tell me. LOL!)
3. Forehead wrinkles with the same pattern, as pointed out by comparing yet other pics. (The wrinkles converged towards each other the same way above their left eyes.)
It's also crossed my mind that people can play tricks with photoshopping, so that's another thought that gives me pause.

(113,973 posts)There is already a petition of Congress to vote to expel her signed by 68 Colorado public officials and political leaders, including R's from her own District.
She is not on solid ground, no matter what... Murdoch's very true "hit piece" in this morning's NY Post is not only embarrassing in terms of exposing her own arrest history, lack of education, and qualifications, but it signals that the RW mainstream knives are out for her too.

3. I've been on the FBI webpage today and cannot find a single picture of 'bullhorn lady' in their 'wanted pics' I think they know who she is and is very 'high profile' at this point. So they could be holding on for such a revelation high profile arrest at some point. You know so much going on ... to keep calm before the Inauguration ... So there is that?
4. Yesterday her daughter Boebert claimed her mom WASN'T at the capitol but locked down somewhere else with her (Boebert's) staff somewhere else. That was in her official statement readily available online. But her mom said earlier that she (herself) was locked down INSIDE THE CAPITOL while the rioters were outside. She said she could hear them etc etc ... etc ... something is completely off about both their statements.

BigmanPigman
(55,153 posts)and they are the same woman in my opinion. I didn't use the overlays but when I looked at pictures of the daughter and mom last week I noticed that they both have the same pointy chin. It really stands out in other photos.

Im simply tired of all the false or misleading information I keep seeing here. And no, I didnt say YOU have done this, k?
But people have been posting utter nonsense, and they dont even care when its proven false.
Its wrong to accuse people of wrongdoing if you dont know if theyre even a suspect. Or at least, thats my belief. Ymmv.

Microsoft Azure, for example, gets reviewer complaints about false mismatches if the facial pics are blurred / lower quality. Edit: Or if the angles don't match well enough.

Buckeye_Democrat
(15,526 posts)The mouth/cheeks/chin area looked identical to me a few days ago.
Then another pic of Q*bert's mother offered a better nose comparison, and there was the same "crease" on the end of it!
Yet another comparison of pics showed identical patterns for the forehead wrinkles! The wrinkles converged the same way above their left eyes!
If her mother isn't Bullhorn Lady, it's an EXTREMELY unusual set of coincidences imo!
Tommymac
(7,334 posts)Buckeye_Democrat
(15,526 posts)Lots of sunglasses look similar, so I don't think it's as significant as the facial features, but that's yet another "match" as far as I'm concerned.
I'm also NOT totally convinced yet that Bullhorn Lady is much thinner, which is the main source of doubt for most people. It's too hard to tell with that coat on her imo.
Tommymac
(7,334 posts)The camera can add or take away 'pounds' depending on the angle.
I am leaning towards it being her mother, but still not enough evidence yet to be 100% certain.
Wishing though...is that mean?
Buckeye_Democrat
(15,526 posts)And I'm likewise leery about believing what I'd like to believe, so that's a constant nagging in my mind even after I saw various similarities in different pics.
Bernardo de La Paz
(60,320 posts)It is hard to see because Bentz is front forward but if you look at the side of the sunglasses, you can see a white patch in the perspective it would have viewed at that angle. Since that side is in shade it is not catching a stray ray of light and appearing much brighter by chance. It would be a white logo making a spot like that.
I'm sure I saw a reasonably clear shot of Benz in those glasses from the side but despite searching and following #bullhornlady I haven't found it again.
Would love for somebody to find it.

Edit: Several people initially assumed that the middle-aged woman, who was shot in the neck, was a teenager based on the video of the shooting.

(18,881 posts)I'm talking about some of the guys arrested. I guess we will eventually find out one way or another, but my god, the facial features match almost dead on, even the line below the lower lip/above the chin matches. To be fair, morphing software can fit facial features where you want them to be.
