Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

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

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.

[–] gaycomputeruser@hexbear.net 20 points 2 weeks ago

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.

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 2 weeks ago (2 children)

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 2 weeks 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 2 weeks ago

Both solid points. The mystery remains.

[–] vegeta1@hexbear.net 5 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

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

[–] Josephine_Spiro@hexbear.net 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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 2 weeks 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.
