      That $50,000 bounty is likely a bigger payout than two years of wages as a burger flipper…

          It’s always been that way and will always be that way. The point isn’t to stop the infighting entirely, it’s to work in such ways as to reduce the impact it has on the goals we should be striving to achieve. Namely a better world for everyone.

              It will always be this way because people have opinions and perspectives. The two best ways to lessen infighting is by having a simple and common end goal. The second is a leader. Find both of these and I guarantee people will follow.

          Sure, but there’s a reason that scabs used to be beaten and shunned. Solidarity means everyone, and the consequences for breaking it need to be high or it’s too easy for the bosses to pick people off one by one by offering them bonuses for ratfucking their peers.

        I’m no expert, but wouldn’t the snitch have to pay taxes on the reward they receive? So they have earned the ire of a nation for a small stack of cash that they’ll likely blow within a year. Smort.

      As much as I dislike them calling, I can’t really be mad at someone who’s making minimum or near-minimum wage for being tempted by the reward money. There’s a good chance they’re living paycheck to paycheck.

            You must not know how much tuition is. That’ll cover a year at a place like NYU. Maybe 2 years for an out-of state school.

        Well this guy literally had all incriminating evidence on him. With that level of carelessness, he’s gonna get caught sooner or later. Like the pulling the mask down is just asking for trouble.

        Maybe he just wanted to chill a bit and see himself famous before eventually planning to let himself get caught. Who knows?

        I mean, he might just wanna let himself get caught to not have the blame pinned on a scapegoat.

          Having all the incriminating evidence on him seems… Extremely unlikely considering the rest of what we know about the situation.

          That’s the type of shit you’d expect from desperate police planting evidence. Planting a random suppressor, a supposedly “phantom” 3d printed gun, and a manifesto isn’t exactly hard. Only the gun could possibly be directly traced to the bullets fired, and that’s not something they can test in the field.

          Not saying that’s necessarily the case here, but this would not be the first time law enforcement, including the FBI, planted evidence because of outside pressures.

            Ehh…

            I mean, there’s probably CCTV footage of him chillin’ in the McDonalds, and also the bodycam footage of the cops entering the Mcdonalds and searching him. Its not that easy to plant a bunch of evidence with all those cameras aroung, and creating a bunch of fake bodycam footage isn’t really that easy. So as long as they release those video footage, I’d believe this is the guy.

              Do they plant the evidence on him in the McDonald’s, or is it just in a bag at the station and it’s “found on him” when they search him there? Planting it publicly seems hard. Would have to give every officer a bag of “evidence” or know who was going to respond to the call. Besides the whole not getting seen planting it by the public.

                I think its standard operating procedure to search a suspect right after detaining to make sure he doesn’t have weapons, so I’d assume its all on the bodycam footage.

                Well, if they release bodycam footage of the arrest right at the mcdonalds and also the searched conducted in the same footage, without any cuts, then I’d believe it.

                If theres any cuts, or weird video artifacts, or if experts say the footage could be faked, then I’m gonna be very sus.

      It sucks major but it could be someone who lives in a small bubble, doesn’t use social media, and only watches fox news. Or whatever local news channel. If that’s all they see, they might think they did the right thing. They could be oblivious.

      They could also be a bootlicker. Time will tell if we get more info. If their info is released the 50k probably won’t be worth it.

        Nuance: unjustified murder is wrong. Someone who dedicates their life to destroying others for profit, murdering them is significantly less violent than letting them persist, and is therefore justified.

          Nuance… There are people calling for violence against the McDonald’s employee who reported the murderer to the police.

          Tankies didn’t know the meaning of the word “nuance”. People who express nuance are “Nazi sympathizers” or “class traitors”. Anyone with a remotely “centrist” view is “sitting in a Nazi bar” and therefore culpable.

          This place is a shithole of absolute moralism.

            The leading sentiment in this thread is that while that worker is indeed a class traitor, that their decision was at least understandable due to the financial crunch they’re likely in as a McDonald’s employee.

            YOU are exhibiting absolute moralism and an abandon of nuance by cherry picking a few extremists to represent the entire response that’s growing against the unethical direction health insurers’ have taken their industry.

            If you see a call for violence against the McD worker, report it.

              Cherry picking??? There are tons of examples!

              “Fuck the people who reported him.”

              “That McDonald’s worker should be hiding”

              “The employee sent someone to live life in prison. As far as drag’s concerned, that is murder.”

              Something something “nazi bar” my friend. Or in this case it’s a “tankie bar”.

                “Fuck the people who reported him.”

                Yeah, fuck em. They decided to be a piece of shit. That isn’t a call to violence.

                “That McDonald’s worker should be hiding”

                Probably should be - they just pissed off nearly an entire country. That isn’t a call to violence either.

                “The employee sent someone to live life in prison. As far as drag’s concerned, that is murder.”

                While not accurate, it’s still not a call to violence.

                …maybe cherry picking isn’t what you’re doing after all - it’s sounding more like you’re just making shit up and projecting some fantasy tankie persona onto the comments you don’t agree with.
