        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.

      There isn’t actually any citation for this, there is however a bunch of articles written pointing to the red tape around reward money and saying “maybe” he wont be paid. But so far I havnt seen anything that shows this as more than conjecture

      Also this snitch not being paid would be the dumbest fucking move imaginable if their goal is to have murdering Capitalists not be the new trend.

        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.

          The rat won’t be paid.

          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.

    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 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!

          the grandson of a wealthy real estate developer, valedictorian of an elite Baltimore prep school, and STEM graduate from a top university goes insane from back pain and assassinates a powerful CEO a small ways from a Hilton; all the while pretending he is doing it for everyday Americans… Luigi is not hero, he’s a poser. Him getting arrested is the perfect end to this story: the rich eating the rich and all going to hell together. Whoever reported him to the police is the real hero.

          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.

              That’s fair and I respect your time enough to not post sources that amount to Facebook posts and texts from others that live there.

              I will say it shouldn’t come as such a stretch that a system that believes in those that interrupt the flow of money as villains no matter the reasons for it from protests to victims of bullying would mistreat an old lady who was hoping to get more out of her existence by being good for it.

              So meet my statements with skepticism absolutely! But I implore you to treat as “what if true” rather than “what if false”.

          Well I have it from the statements of the woman herself and the somewhat open gossip now of central PA.

          I could try to pull sources but I’m not sure what I could provide that would be considered respectable enough for this community.

          I think she was just put on leave but if you are a part time worker on leave without pay it sure looks like being fired even if on a technicality they can say she wasn’t fired yet. I dunno she’s acting like she was fucked over and I believe it when she thought she would get a bunch of money and be a hero.

          I don’t have sources that talk about people shitting on cars at the McDonald’s but that’s happening too.

      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.

          I wouldn’t go so far to say that there won’t be any more school shootings. A school shootings is comparatively easy. Their locations are static, publicly available. There are many potential victims, and so on.

          • TikTok/Insta - 100% worshipping Luigi en masse
          • Discord - None of the ones I’m in, though I mostly stick to small friend groups I know IRL. I’d be shocked if there aren’t servers praising him as a hero

          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.

    The sad thing is the rat will get their money if Mangione is convicted (and he most probably will even if he’s just a scapegoat). Even if the responsible office will block the reward, some CEO will jump in and hand him way more than the 60k. Maybe they’ll fabricate it into a heatwarming christmas story with some sad background stories of the rat and how they’re now able to pay off the mortgage of their parents home or something.
