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.

[–] CaptSneeze@lemmy.world 61 points 2 weeks ago (8 children)

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.

[–] Olgratin_Magmatoe@lemmy.world 179 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (13 children)

No, there was a lot more that came of this (unless you're specifically referencing the snitching part).

  • It's made business execs afraid.
  • It's shown the working class how to have solidarity.
  • It's been a rallying cry for how much the people hare the current system.
  • It's given us a martyr.
  • It’s taught the would be school shooters that they’ll get lots of positive attention for redirecting their targets towards those deserving. They’ll get labeled a folk hero, they’ll have people trying to send them money for their legal defense fund, they’ll get their name in the history books. They’ll get everything they ever wanted out of their act of violence.

And I'm sure there's more.

The parasites are scrapping their data online because they know plebs don't know how to check SEC filings on https://www.sec.gov/search-filings

That could maybe contain names of the people running these death machines.

Coincidentally, unrelated, happenstance fact - you can gain the ability to attend shareholder meetings by purchasing a certain amount of shares - each company sets their own level.

Y’know, exactly like the meeting Brian was on his way to that December morning.…

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.

[–] FinalRemix@lemmy.world 41 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

The average citizen doesn't know, care, or even understand. Nor do they want to.

[–] theneverfox@pawb.social 46 points 2 weeks ago

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

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?

[–] Karyoplasma@discuss.tchncs.de 112 points 2 weeks ago (5 children)

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.

[–] AshMan85@lemmy.world 35 points 2 weeks ago (4 children)

Ha, 4 years, yeah right. He is going to refuse to leave office

If he lives that long.

Despite all the shitty AI pictures of him with abs, the guy is still old as fuck and in terrible health.

Did they seriously not give the snitch the bounty? Can anyone provide official news story on this?

[–] peopleproblems@lemmy.world 74 points 2 weeks ago

Iirc they never actually pay the reward in almost every reward poster for one reason or another.

[–] unphazed@lemmy.world 40 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Conviction is required, and the informant needs formal recognition by the FBI as a recognized informant first. Karen just called 911, forfeiting the reward.

[–] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 30 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Lol of course there's stupid hoops like that.

So anybody who is out and about and sees a fugitive with a publicized reward should know...don't call 911. Call John Walsh, or pound sand.

Probably gotta call a specific extension that's only staffed from 10am to 2:30pm with a 2 hour lunch from 11:15 to 1:15 on the first and third weeks of the month and 12:15 to 2:15 on the other weeks.

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.

is there news source for "fuck right off about that reward, bud"?

[–] callouscomic@lemm.ee 59 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 125 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

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

[–] Mariemarion@lemm.ee 109 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] DoucheBagMcSwag@lemmy.dbzer0.com 52 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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)

Is it just me that doesn't believe the McDonald's employee thing? I think they used a Pegasus or Stingray type privacy violating device/exploit and just said it was a restaurant employee.
