Huff Handwriting Comparison

Posted by on June 6 at 11:50 AM

The police have announced they’re going to be doing handwriting analysis to help them confirm their suspicion that the letter released this morning was in fact written by Kyle Huff. I’m no handwriting expert, but back in late March, when I was working on this profile of Kyle Huff, somone slipped me a copy of one of Kyle Huff’s job applications, and it now provides a handy point of comparison.

Let’s start with the word that Huff is perhaps most famous for writing, “Now.” Here’s his job application, in which he writes that he is available to start work “now”…

Here are a couple “now”s from the letter released today…

And here is a “now” that Huff spraypainted on the front step of a home near the site of the Capitol Hill shootings…

Next, his own first name, “Kyle.” Here is his job application…

And here is the letter released this morning by police…

Finally, the word “stop.” First, the job application…

And now the letter released this morning by police…

I'm not an expert either, but I see less similarity than I see more...

The 'y' in Kyle is the closest relation between the two I see. The Nows are totally different and I can see a direct relation between the spray painting and the application and total differences between the letter and those two.

I dunno, as much as I would like to have some answers as to why this was done, based on this evidence, I don't have them yet.

Think I'll wait for the official analyzation by a professional.

I don't think you can get a more perfect match than that. Look at the "f"s and "e"s, too. Very distinctive.

Thanks for the handwriting samples. Months after this crime we're still obsessed with the deviant. That is as it should be. Together, we must construct the deviant identity. His handwriting may offer a clue.


I'd also like to take a close look at his mother's artwork. Perhaps there's something in a drawing his mother made while Kyle was in the womb...a symbol, a sign.


I hope someone at The Stranger is working on a book about the last hours of Kyle's life. It could make the career of a clever writer. Constructing criminal identities always delights the public.

Yeah, the fs are pretty distinctive and similar...but does the letter seem just generally rounder than the definitively Huff examples? I don't know if that's actually significant or not.

The Stranger is always writing hateful things about "the hippies" at Seattle Weakly, and The Stranger has been anti-hippy since the beginning. Does spreading that kind of hatred in our community help us?

As a vegan and pacifist I believe that love and gentleness are the kindest response. Hippies and every other living being deserves our love. I hope we can turn our sadness from this loss into warm tears that will wash away our sorrow and join us in love.

Hippies smell.....

You know what looks good on a hippie?

Fire.

You know how to tell if a hippie broke into your house while you were at work?

They are asleep on your couch when you get home.

You know how to get a hippie to shower?

Hide the foodstamps under the soap.


What do you call a hippie who just broke up with his girlfriend?

Homeless.

You know the difference between a hippie and a Pizza?

A Pizza feeds 4 people.


:-)

someguy, why don't you move back to Montana and weep for your election result today?

Take the first N and the second OW and the letter NOW matches the job app NOW.
The f's and e's are very very simular in both cases.

By the way.
I know lots of hippies from and in Montana.

I for one am glad the MSM are obsessing over the killer's life, and not that of the innocent victims that were snuffed out.

After all, if we can't focus on the killer, we might actually realize he was wack.

You eat meat and you kill things that are better than you are, and then you say how bad, and even killers, your children are. You made your children what they are....”

These children that come at you with knives, they are your children. You taught them. I didn't teach them. I just tried to help them stand up.”

You expect to break me? Impossible! You broke me years ago. You killed me years ago....”

You know, a long time ago being crazy meant something. Nowadays everybody's crazy.”

Look down at me and you see a fool; look up at me and you see a god;
look straight at me and you see yourself”

“These children that come at you with knives, they are your children. You taught them. I didn't teach them. I just tried to help them stand up.”

I can't judge any of you. I have no malice against you and no ribbons for you. But I think that it is high time that you all start looking at yourselves, and judging the lie that you live in.”

I can't dislike you, but I will say this to you: you haven't got long before you are all going to kill yourselves, because you are all crazy. And you can project it back at me ... but I am only what lives inside each and every one of you.”


You know, a long time ago being crazy meant something. Nowadays everybody's crazy.”

Look down at me and you see a fool;
look up at me and you see a god;
look straight at me and you see yourself”

Real loss only occurs when you lose something that you love more than yourself”

I hope your dreams take you... to the corners of your smiles, to the highest of your hopes, to the windows of your opportunities, and to the most special places your heart has ever known.”

Our family is a circle of love and strength. With every birth and every union, the circle grows. Every joy shared adds more love. Every obstacle faced together makes the circle stronger.”

In studying this issue I discovered that translated into Black American english, this posting sounds less like Huff. Also Only racist white Red State residents hate hippies. Red State white males are the problem, and they cause global warming.

Black english translation -


You eat meat an' ya kill things dat iz bettah than ya iz, an' then ya say how bad, an' even killers, yo' chil'ns iz. You made yo' chil'ns what dey iz....”
