Most people don't walk around recording evidence all day long. Which attackers know and make use of. So the absence of evidence is not evidence of absence, and a good system acknowledges that.
In this particular case, there seems to have been evidence submitted to the police, so why you would say there is none is strange to me.
- willcipriano 5y agoRespectfully claiming to have given evidence to someone else, is not, in and of itself, evidence. It is merely a unsubstantiated claim. On a personal level, my gut is screaming that somethings fishy here. I'm reserving judgement until it all plays out in the courts.
- moralestapia 5y agoIf someone stabs you, and you have enough time to post about it on the internet, for sure you have time to take a few pictures of it. Me, personally, it would prob. be the first thing I would do after making myself safe, so I have evidence to show. But who knows, the only safe bet is not to believe stuff you read on the internet. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Edit: Sorry for being rational, but there's no evidence on either side.
- alabamacadabra 5y agoI have been on the internet for a very long time. Someone telling a story, no matter how emotional or dramatic is merely doing that: telling a story. Until there are real-world facts to back this story up: police report, pictures of any wound, etc. please take it with a grain of salt. There are many implicit biases on the internet and not all of them are obvious. I find it plausible that some people who browse 4chan attacked this person. I also find it plausible that it’s entirely unrelated or fabricated. What do I have which can sway my opinion other than what legally is known as “Hearsay”?

On 4chan you can find a picture of a room, with the window broken in, along with a butterfly knife and red baseball cap that resembles the ones worn by sneed.

- junon 5y agoThe "evidence markers" are handwritten on post-it notes. CSI does not do that for.. many, many reasons. There's no way this is real.
- moralestapia 5y agoI saw the picture, it was uploaded by an anonymous user to 4chan, cookieengineer hasn't claimed it belongs to him and it's honestly too perfect to be true, including the sneed cap. I wouldn't discard a 4chan user setting up that scene just for fun.

- x4e 5y agoHe provided reasons for not providing pictures on the github discussion: > I'm not posting pictures, because I'm certainly not going to compromise the ongoing investigation of the BKA Heidelberg because some kiddos want so-called "proof" which they will turn around and twist around until it fits their sociopathic logical needs. Tbh I don’t think it’s particularly relevant whether or not he can convince online people whether he was physically attacked. There is clearly evidence of online harassment and that is enough to justify him stepping down.
- alabamacadabra 5y agoThere is not any evidence of that. The evidence is that he is having some sort of traumatic thing happen to him. It may be entirely caused by himself. Hopefully this person gets the help they need as the situation evolves and it becomes more apparent who is level-headed here.
