Where did you see that they denied the reward payout? I haven't read anything about that yet.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 week ago

I hadn't heard that either, but Google turns up a few articles like this. TL;DR, the reward money may be contingent upon a conviction - which could take time or even be subverted if the suspect is acquitted.

The narrative would be funnier if next some McD exes go missing ... with only 'fry in hell', 'ice cream machine is broken', and 'you are McRib material' casings found.

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!

It's not guaranteed they won't pay the peon. There's just a process.

It seems like a weird process because everything in the legal world is framed in terms of adversaries, people trying to game the system, official processes that have to be followed, and delays. And for all I know, it will lead to whoever ratted him out getting the shaft. But there's a big difference between "It's more complicated than bebopping on down to your FBI office and getting handed a check" and "They're definitely going to shaft him."

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?

Meanwhile, the Internet be like...

The internet would never condone targeted violence as that is a violation of ToS, sir, but we also don't have to have any sympathy for Brian "the Parasite" Thompson.

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.

Obviously not or they wouldn't be trying so hard to spin the story.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Spinning the story is how they’ve gotten away with everything.

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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago

It was a bit of a struggle getting him out last time, wasn't it?
I think we should compromise, let him stay but force an agreement that he's not allowed back in once out.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 week ago

Let him stay in prison

...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.

[–] [email protected] 178 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (17 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.

Well the employee was also fired and their life ruined, and it's still early.

I guess Advent Health dropped their proposed anesthesia policy out of the goodness of their heart?
