You would think that the feds would realize that it is in their interest to pay the person extremely publicly so that everyone knows that traitors get rewarded. Guess not.

If the snitch was very loudly and publicly given the money, they'd be spending it all on a stay in the hospital very soon afterwards.

Trying to lick a boot that's been waterproofed (so it's easier to clean after caving in a peaceful protestor's skull)

They basically never pay out tip money if full. Even if you nail the guy with your tip, and he gets convicted, they always find a way that your tip was on 80% helpful or some shit.

poor, exhausted, and desperate people will continue to snitch even if this story proves it won't work. snitching is worth even a glimmer of a chance at a year or two's salary if you're failing to make ends meet and you don't have class consciousness

Big business would love to swoop in and make a show of giving the rat the money, “proving” business is good and government is incompetent.

A coward's wages

My question, in addition to everything else brought up, is why the fuck was he eating at McDonald's? I have never known a person in his kinda of shape that eats that garbage.

[-] FALGSConaut@hexbear.net 14 points 1 week ago

If it is true that Luigi did it I can think of a couple reasons why he was at McDonald's.

1: free wifi. If he was following the reaction/coverage and didn't have a cell phone McDonald's is a reliable place to connect to the internet. Not qualified to comment on the risks of this but I assume carrying any internet capable device is going to cause you problems if you're on the run.

2: a public place to be arrested. If it was his plan to be arrested it makes sense to pick a public place in broad daylight, there's less of a chance of being killed "resisting arrest" especially if he did still have the gun on him.

The cops don’t care about wildly firing into a crowd

[-] FALGSConaut@hexbear.net 6 points 1 week ago

That's why I said less of a chance. I agree cops have no problem killing people on camera or shooting wildly into crowds, we have plenty of cases of them doing exactly that.

But it's an extremely high profile case with a lot of public support for the suspect. I can see why a public arrest would be safer for the suspect than if he was caught alone somewhere. Then it's "body cam malfunction, he had a gun, I feared for my life, case closed"

[-] Ithorian@hexbear.net 5 points 1 week ago

Both solid points. The mystery remains.

[-] vegeta1@hexbear.net 5 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

You do now vegeta-stare Not McDonalds of course... Fuck em. But junk food.

[-] Josephine_Spiro@hexbear.net 5 points 1 week ago

Maybe just wanted fas food and to get it quick so they have a less chance of being caught?

Still wild to me they never got rid of the ids or gun

[-] Ithorian@hexbear.net 6 points 1 week ago

While I suppose possible McDonald's doesn't even register as food to most gym rats. Grabbing a protein bar at a gas station is easy and would take less time.

You can't tell me they don't have a sense of humor.
