The bootlickers never cease to amaze me. A McDonald's employee? Are you fucking kidding me?
That $50,000 bounty is likely a bigger payout than two years of wages as a burger flipper...
It would be a shame if the person who sold out were publicly identified. Hopefully that will never ever happen.
Yes, in all honesty, hopefully that will never happen.
What, are you hoping for vigilante justice against a minimum wage worker?
That person should be publicly shamed for the class traitor they are
I'm no expert, but wouldn't the snitch have to pay taxes on the reward they receive? So they have earned the ire of a nation for a small stack of cash that they'll likely blow within a year. Smort.
Nothing good comes out of Altoona, look at their fucking "pizza"
Wtf kind of abomination is that?!
Please don't tell Jon Stewart
nono. please do. But make sure to record it
Something that would make every Chicagoan and their ancestors cry.
If I were Uncle Roger and I saw this abominable attempt at a deep dish pizza, I'd put my leg down from chair.
It’s a pizza, a sub, and “more”!
It looks like someone melted orange plastic on a dish sponge that was used to clean up a picnic table after a seafood boil
How to piss off the entire population of Italy in 1 image
Or just anyone who likes food.
Italians will just shrug and say "Beh, è l'America."
who the fuck tried to upscale ghetto pizza (which is basically toast, ketchup and sliced american)
Hey you're messing with our class solidarity posting that
Euccchhh what the fuck??
Burn it! Burn it with fire! The power of Christ compels you!
Wow
Not really "bootlicker".
A victim of propaganda.
Or "useful idiot"
Or really just someone on a shit wage with rent and bills that saw 50k as an end to their immediate issues.
One can make a good living stealing out of a blind man’s cup.
First they let Trump work the fryer for a PR stunt, now this. Fucking McDonald's...
If they weren't already on your boycott list, now's the time.
As much as I dislike them calling, I can’t really be mad at someone who’s making minimum or near-minimum wage for being tempted by the reward money. There’s a good chance they’re living paycheck to paycheck.
And they'll be back to paycheck to paycheck soon enough.
Well this guy literally had all incriminating evidence on him. With that level of carelessness, he's gonna get caught sooner or later. Like the pulling the mask down is just asking for trouble.
Maybe he just wanted to chill a bit and see himself famous before eventually planning to let himself get caught. Who knows?
I mean, he might just wanna let himself get caught to not have the blame pinned on a scapegoat.
Having all the incriminating evidence on him seems... Extremely unlikely considering the rest of what we know about the situation.
That's the type of shit you'd expect from desperate police planting evidence. Planting a random suppressor, a supposedly "phantom" 3d printed gun, and a manifesto isn't exactly hard. Only the gun could possibly be directly traced to the bullets fired, and that's not something they can test in the field.
Not saying that's necessarily the case here, but this would not be the first time law enforcement, including the FBI, planted evidence because of outside pressures.
Ehh...
I mean, there's probably CCTV footage of him chillin' in the McDonalds, and also the bodycam footage of the cops entering the Mcdonalds and searching him. Its not that easy to plant a bunch of evidence with all those cameras aroung, and creating a bunch of fake bodycam footage isn't really that easy. So as long as they release those video footage, I'd believe this is the guy.
Plenty of people bought in to the messages of popular media. Hard to change a mind that follows so blindly.
Rich people are the only class with any solidarity.
It sucks major but it could be someone who lives in a small bubble, doesn't use social media, and only watches fox news. Or whatever local news channel. If that's all they see, they might think they did the right thing. They could be oblivious.
They could also be a bootlicker. Time will tell if we get more info. If their info is released the 50k probably won't be worth it.
Idealistic teenagers will get you every time. Old enough to drink the Flavor Aid, young enough to not have the experience to temper it.
