Luigi wasn't lower class, tho? You could try to argue his family was middle class but even that's a stretch, his grandfather donated a million dollars on a single event and Luigi attended both a Private High School where he was Valedictorian and he had a Masters Degree from Ivy League University of Pennsylvania.

As I understand it his family owns multiple resorts and real estate and has multiple companies. Not really what I'd call lower class.

I hope that McDonalds has “class traitor” graffiti on it

Thinks like that pizza guy movie with the neck bomb. Real life more absurd than art.

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.

Don't forget: McD's also took down all the negative "overrun by rats" reviews for that location, and drumroll nothing happens...

On McDonald's behalf.

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

[–] [email protected] 59 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week 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.

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.

The reporting on how he came to be arrested is quite a bit different from what's all over social media. From what I've read, it wasn't until the cops showed up that anyone even knew who it was. It seems like he was acting strange after several days on the run and nights without much sleep. A concerned customer asked an employee to call the cops.

I don't know how accurate this story is, but I have no idea where the social media narrative came from, except that it was half written before he was ever captured. I think the anger at McDonalds and the employee involved is misplaced, and I hope it doesn't have serious consequences.

Well, except the guy came from a well-off family and had a good higher education. Not really a “lower-class” type, but certainly someone who could be rallied behind.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 week ago

There is no middle or lower class. He worked for a living and was thus working class.

Wait where is is that the compensation will not be provided? This was the first time I heard this

[–] [email protected] 107 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week 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.

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)

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 week ago

He called 911 and thereby gave that Lotto ticket to a bigger Judas

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.
