The sad thing is the rat will get their money if Mangione is convicted (and he most probably will even if he's just a scapegoat). Even if the responsible office will block the reward, some CEO will jump in and hand him way more than the 60k. Maybe they'll fabricate it into a heatwarming christmas story with some sad background stories of the rat and how they're now able to pay off the mortgage of their parents home or something.
Columbine kicked off an epidemic of school shootings because of the attention it got. Some people need a focus for their misery and I am not ashamed to say that I would rather see heartless corporate executives fear for their safety instead of school children gunned down as they hide in a closet. Just putting that out there.
I am glad to know I'm not alone in this line of thinking!
Hello lonely young men with something to prove, have you seen how much positive attention Luigi got
It really would be a strange kind of uniquely American poetry if our school shooting problem inverted itself into a megacorp CEO shooting solution.
If a few more CEOs gets off’d, they’ll ram gun control legislation through congress faster than Trump can wolf down a Big Mac.
This is why you don't snitch. The powers that be don't care about you, have no intention to do right by you, and will actively look for ways to avoid you after they are done with you.
...and all that came of the whole affair was a bunch of bad reviews for a McDonald's, which were promptly deleted by the corporation controlling all data.
No, there was a lot more that came of this (unless you're specifically referencing the snitching part).
And I'm sure there's more.
This thing about them not getting the promised reward needs to go viral so in the future whenever someone's thinking of turning someone in to get the reward money, they'll know they're highly unlikely to get a damn thing.
The average citizen doesn't know, care, or even understand. Nor do they want to.
That's why everyone who cares needs to spread the word.
People don't need to care. They might share it as a fun factoid, they might just say that's crazy and never think about it again
Until they're in a position to get a reward... They'll care then. That little idea they heard in passing will pop up... Maybe it gives them pause.
$10k is pretty tempting for a lot of people...a chance at a $10k reward they've heard rarely is paid out is a lot less tempting
Maybe they Google it first, maybe they think twice about if the crime is worth reporting. Maybe they see the world in black and white and believe it to be their duty
It's worth spreading some information, even to people that don't care
Wait for the next step: the franchise fires the employee because of several 1 star reviews and death threats
Hope so...
The owner class and their government muppets are flexing right now as if they want to inflame tensions.
Or are they not reading the room?
They have learned over decades that they can do whatever the fuck they please. They don't need to read the room, nothing is gonna happen to them anyway. Also, the public just voted their mascot into the White House for 4 years despite 34 convictions, so they are truly invincible and they know.
Did they seriously not give the snitch the bounty? Can anyone provide official news story on this?
Iirc they never actually pay the reward in almost every reward poster for one reason or another.
Anyone have a citation about the rat not getting the money? People keep saying that, but I haven't seen a single article posted about it.
this doesn't really add to the discussion, but i just wanted to say thanks for sharing a source. I feel like i don't see it enough, so i appreciate you taking the time to share it
is there news source for "fuck right off about that reward, bud"?
It's an easy find. Nobody is literally saying fuck right off, but it's not a stretch to think this shithole society would screw the person over.
NYPD Crime Stoppers Rules: The NYPD part of the reward is given out through Crime Stoppers. To claim this part, people must have a unique reference number provided when they submit a tip through Crime Stoppers. Unfortunately, because the employee called 911 instead of using the Crime Stoppers hotline, they might not be eligible for this part of the reward.
What a fucking joke. Hope everyone learns the lesson here.
Let this be a lesson to any other proles who think Big Brother is somehow on your side. They are not.
They will do and say anything they can to ensure they get what they want, and the rest of us lose. The system is not broken; it’s working as it was designed.
Next time keep your head down and your mouth shut.
Wait where is is that the compensation will not be provided? This was the first time I heard this
He didn't tip off the right agency. AND the reward depends on a conviction, not an arrest. AND he gets a proportion of the reward depending on how instrumental his info was in the case being solved.
(AND the poor are just tools to those in power.)
Edit: or so I gathered.
Wooooow so because be called 911 instead of the feds he gets nothing..
... And of course they already said hours before the call they were "closing in" (they weren't)
