He's high profile and people might want to break him out. That's probably the reason.
Well, I mean, it's Emmanuel Goldstein here.
You know, the arch nemesis of the Party, the guy in every Two Minutes of Hate?
Obviously his capture warrants a significant security presence, who knows what he's capable of.
They're afraid he might 3D print an escape copter and break free...
Maybe it is a distraction from strike breaking?
The shareholders demand blood and a show.
Hero needs to have his posse.
I know, right? Some billionaire might jump out of the crowd and try to start some shit. Gotta be ready for them.
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.
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.
It would be a horribly dystopian twist on Battle Royale / Hunger Games if CEOs of companies found to have caused needless death or suffering, were rounded up and pitted against each other. And televised.
Nobody should think of that. It’s terrible. Can nobody write that down please.
might as well, if they're salaried they're getting paid either way.
And this way at least they're not shooting any black people or dogs!
I don't think they're ever off duty for that.
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.
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.
Parallel construction for sure.
Yeah no shit, crowds didn't gather around to ask for the release of the college killer.
^ this.
The media outreach of one person was huge and is a bigger risk to transfer than the other. Ill let you all figure out who is who
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'd try to get close enough to look like one of those true crime fanatics and throw my bra and panties at him. Pretty sure he would know how to use the bra wire to make lockpicks.
Yeah, I assumed it wasn't too keep him under control, but because of the hero worship he's receiving.
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.
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...
