Why are we pretending like this isn't prudent on NYPD's part? If this weren't 2000 miles away I'd probably show up, if not to try and bust him out then at the very least to throw shit at the cops and yell. And if I'm considering driving a prius thru the fence to free the guy, I can only imagine what the non suburban-cishet-white-male-techie demographic is feeling about it.

I think they're on top of a building after the helicopter landed. Don't quote me on that. I know you're just bullshitting but if you really want to do something don't go throw shit at cops and get yourself arrested, do something smart.

Yeah, I assumed it wasn't too keep him under control, but because of the hero worship he's receiving.

[–] Jesus_666@lemmy.world 49 points 1 week ago

Of course it still looks really bad on camera. This is one of those lose/lose situations where your best course of action still amplifies a message you probably don't want to amplify.

[–] Warl0k3@lemmy.world 29 points 1 week ago

Absolutely. Turns out people still hate murderers, and like justice. Hence the love for luigi and why Derrick Murderer hasn't got crowds demanding his release...

The shareholders demand blood and a show.

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 87 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yeah no shit, crowds didn't gather around to ask for the release of the college killer.

It's making a statement that if you go after the rich/CEOs - they'll throw every resource into finding you.

The lesson of the story seems to be to keep the fuck away from McDonalds.

[–] andrew_s@piefed.social 28 points 1 week ago (3 children)

I've started to doubt the McDonald's story - I don't see how anybody could have recognised him, based on the photos that were released. The FBI were given LM's name on the 5th (as someone who had been reported missing), and they arrested him on the 9th. My conspiracy theory is that I think they found him using means that they don't want us to know about, and sent a group of ex-cops to McDs, to loudly talk about him until they were overheard by an employee. So it could've happened anywhere, really.

Well, Elon and Donald have taken care of the "salaried" thing now. But yes, they are showing him off like Hannibal Lector. They have treated worse people better, but they just killed "blacks", not CEOs.

[–] haui_lemmy@lemmy.giftedmc.com 21 points 1 week ago (1 children)

They‘re just treating him like this because it is less common to kill a CEO than students or black people.

I hope nobody changes that, sincerely. I really hope that, from the bottom of my heart. If someone was to hunt CEOs for sport, that would be so awful! Oh dear lord I would not want to live in a world where poor innocent CEOs were hunted like dogs.

might as well, if they're salaried they're getting paid either way.

[–] MutilationWave@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

That was my first reaction, but cops make mad overtime. If they are salaried then they are definitely considered "non exempt" which means they can make overtime. Shit like this can let them bill a bunch of overtime hours.

When I was young I heard several adults say something along the lines of "yeah cops love that overtime". I thought it meant they worked all the time. Now that I'm in a job where I bill my own hours I get it. They just claim a bunch of overtime for something unusual like this.
