        both the arrest and conviction of the suspect

        Makes perfect sense, but that’s just a matter of time.

        might not be eligible for [the NYPD] part of the reward.

        OK, so maybe they won’t be getting 10k of the 60k. They would still get 50k if he’s convicted. So many people are definitively saying that they’re getting none of the money, and that makes no sense.

          The tip didn’t contribute to conviction, only the arrest. The words “both” and “and” rather than “consequent” are explicit.

      I don’t have a citation. But I do believe that you’d normally have to wait for a conviction before getting the reward. Otherwise it could be the wrong guy.

          Because they didn’t read any of the sources and just heard about the NYPD requirement that they call the tip line, which they didn’t do, so unless there’s some major backlash, they definitely won’t be getting $10,000 of the reward.

          The other $50,000 from the FBI we’re all kinda assuming will have some other reason to not be paid out, but if we’re being honest, if the 1% want us to continue turning on each other in the future, they’re gonna have to let these high profile snitching cases go through.

    This thing about them not getting the promised reward needs to go viral so in the future whenever someone’s thinking of turning someone in to get the reward money, they’ll know they’re highly unlikely to get a damn thing.

        That’s why everyone who cares needs to spread the word.

        People don’t need to care. They might share it as a fun factoid, they might just say that’s crazy and never think about it again

        Until they’re in a position to get a reward… They’ll care then. That little idea they heard in passing will pop up… Maybe it gives them pause.

        $10k is pretty tempting for a lot of people…a chance at a $10k reward they’ve heard rarely is paid out is a lot less tempting

        Maybe they Google it first, maybe they think twice about if the crime is worth reporting. Maybe they see the world in black and white and believe it to be their duty

        It’s worth spreading some information, even to people that don’t care

    There are actually more details involving where the rewards come from and the existence of an evaluation process, i.e. you don’t just make a phone call and somebody hands you a pile of cash. That’s how rewards have always worked. But anything beyond a meme-level thought process is super boring, right? Gotta make an instant value judgement, congratulate yourself for uncovering injustice, and scroll on to the next item in the feed.

    And somehow we still expect elections to produce meaningful results.

        Lol of course there’s stupid hoops like that.

        So anybody who is out and about and sees a fugitive with a publicized reward should know…don’t call 911. Call John Walsh, or pound sand.

        Probably gotta call a specific extension that’s only staffed from 10am to 2:30pm with a 2 hour lunch from 11:15 to 1:15 on the first and third weeks of the month and 12:15 to 2:15 on the other weeks.

          The original is delay, deny, defend.

          The one that was on the cartridge casing when the CEO was terminated was, delay, deny, depose.

          The act of deposing a person, by one definition is to “remove from office suddenly and forcefully”

          IMO, that’s the meaning behind the use of “depose” here.

          There’s also legal depositions which are a very different thing entirely. From what I’ve heard, Luigi had a lot of experience with delay and deny. I dunno how much of what I’ve heard is true, and how much is just a game of telephone gone wrong.

              The problem is that the first reports of what was written on the casings was wrong, and later corrections are mixed in with the original misreported text.

              So there’s a lot of misunderstandings about what they said.

              I’m not saying my information is 100% accurate; but I’m not willing to wade through the neverending sea of news articles that care more about clicks than accuracy to figure it out.

              In any case, good luck and have a good day!

    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.

          Historically it’s been threats to the owner / controller class that have produced serious gun control legislation in the US, so you are probably right! But if you mean actual confiscation a la Australia, pretty sure that’s off the table here. Sincerely think it’d spark a war no matter who sincerely attempts it or why.

            Federally legal. I didn’t realize it but like 14 states outlaw them and others have prohibitions on parts of them. Honestly, I’m impressed it didn’t break. The idea of making one makes me nervous over safety. I haven’t even been brave enough to print a stock or foreguard simply out of concern. I also don’t trust aluminum casings (if a shell splits it’s likely damaging the barrel or receiver).

      Too many people forget this part. Luigi Mangione is, until proven otherwise, innocent. The police, the same people who have spent decades killing them people (especially minorities) and planting evidence, largely with impunity, are alleging that he is the one who did it. Luigi is likely a victim of the health insurance industry but, until it is proven otherwise, he and the shooter are two separate individuals.

      People with a lot of wealth and power want to put a bow on this to prevent more frustration from being directed at them.

        Then what criteria do you judge a platform based off of? A large part of why I left Reddit was because of the mods…? And the company can certainly do stuff to fix that, but refuse to because money. So if that’s not the case, then I assume you mean the actual structure and layout of Reddit.

        And parent comment is saying the employee is a class traitor. Not the, physical structure and layout of the building? The physical building itself didn’t rat, because physical buildings aren’t sentient.

        Your analogy is absolute dog shit.

        First of all Reddit is responsible because they created and actively allow moderators to act the way they do. They perpetuate the fantasy that mods are all powerful and Reddit admins hands are tied when a person is targeted by a mod.

        Second the person worked there so it’s extremely ironic a slave wagee ratted on a person that was targeting corporate inequality and they denied her the payout.

        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.

      • 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.

          It definitely seems to be yeah, given the number of reposted tiktoks I’ve seen, and the facebook unitedhealthgroup laughing emoji ratio, and all the videos that corporate media are clutching their pearls over. There are tons of comments in Ben Shapiro’s videos on the subject that are cheering on the death of a CEO, despite his attempt to paint this as only the “violent left”. When Ben Shapiro’s viewers disagree with him you know the feeling is widespread lol.

        I think that user above you was implying more should be done about the McDonalds, which is pretty ironic given the context.

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

        For now. However I’m sure they have plans in the works for all sorts of similar heinous and hateful policy changes.

      I’ve already heard a bunch of stories of insurance companies approving procedures they denied the day before.

      This probably saved a bunch of lives.

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

        I can’t find anything that mentions they were fired. Do you have a source for that? That would be super messed up.

          Being fired? For being a distraction from the work that McDonald’s wants to occur without people associating it with class warfare.

          Honestly it’s probably the manager reacting poorly and once it goes further up the ladder and there is more and more backlash they will turn back on these decisions same as the reward money if they are smart though I think the 10,000 is officially off the table since that was a private 3rd party and the 50,000 will likely be a fraction of that at best.

          Any kind of change from norm gets blamed on whoever they think caused it. And it hits wide and usually the innocent just as much.
