This is why you don't snitch. The powers that be don't care about you, have no intention to do right by you, and will actively look for ways to avoid you after they are done with you.

...and all that came of the whole affair was a bunch of bad reviews for a McDonald's, which were promptly deleted by the corporation controlling all data.

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'm not a big Astarion fan, but I can see the appeal.

The parasites are scrapping their data online because they know plebs don't know how to check SEC filings on https://www.sec.gov/search-filings

That could maybe contain names of the people running these death machines.

Coincidentally, unrelated, happenstance fact - you can gain the ability to attend shareholder meetings by purchasing a certain amount of shares - each company sets their own level.

Y’know, exactly like the meeting Brian was on his way to that December morning.…

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

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.

[–] FinalRemix@lemmy.world 40 points 6 months ago (2 children)

The average citizen doesn't know, care, or even understand. Nor do they want to.

[–] theneverfox@pawb.social 46 points 6 months ago

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

The owner class and their government muppets are flexing right now as if they want to inflame tensions.

Or are they not reading the room?

[–] Karyoplasma@discuss.tchncs.de 110 points 6 months ago (5 children)

They have learned over decades that they can do whatever the fuck they please. They don't need to read the room, nothing is gonna happen to them anyway. Also, the public just voted their mascot into the White House for 4 years despite 34 convictions, so they are truly invincible and they know.

[–] AshMan85@lemmy.world 32 points 6 months ago (4 children)

Ha, 4 years, yeah right. He is going to refuse to leave office

[–] Norin@lemmy.world 35 points 6 months ago (3 children)

If he lives that long.

Despite all the shitty AI pictures of him with abs, the guy is still old as fuck and in terrible health.

Did they seriously not give the snitch the bounty? Can anyone provide official news story on this?

[–] peopleproblems@lemmy.world 65 points 6 months ago

Iirc they never actually pay the reward in almost every reward poster for one reason or another.

[–] unphazed@lemmy.world 35 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Conviction is required, and the informant needs formal recognition by the FBI as a recognized informant first. Karen just called 911, forfeiting the reward.

[–] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 32 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

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.

Anyone have a citation about the rat not getting the money? People keep saying that, but I haven't seen a single article posted about it.

this doesn't really add to the discussion, but i just wanted to say thanks for sharing a source. I feel like i don't see it enough, so i appreciate you taking the time to share it

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.

is there news source for "fuck right off about that reward, bud"?

[–] callouscomic@lemm.ee 56 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

It's an easy find. Nobody is literally saying fuck right off, but it's not a stretch to think this shithole society would screw the person over.

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 121 points 6 months ago (3 children)

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.

Let this be a lesson to any other proles who think Big Brother is somehow on your side. They are not.

They will do and say anything they can to ensure they get what they want, and the rest of us lose. The system is not broken; it’s working as it was designed.

Next time keep your head down and your mouth shut.

Wait where is is that the compensation will not be provided? This was the first time I heard this

[–] Mariemarion@lemm.ee 106 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

He didn't tip off the right agency. AND the reward depends on a conviction, not an arrest. AND he gets a proportion of the reward depending on how instrumental his info was in the case being solved.
(AND the poor are just tools to those in power.)

Edit: or so I gathered.

[–] DoucheBagMcSwag@lemmy.dbzer0.com 50 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Wooooow so because be called 911 instead of the feds he gets nothing..

... And of course they already said hours before the call they were "closing in" (they weren't)

[–] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 21 points 6 months ago

He called 911 and thereby gave that Lotto ticket to a bigger Judas

Is it just me that doesn't believe the McDonald's employee thing? I think they used a Pegasus or Stingray type privacy violating device/exploit and just said it was a restaurant employee.

We all know that snitches get stitches, always. What you may not know (and Snitching Joe just found out) is that the stitches are sometimes metaphorical.

[–] PhilipTheBucket@ponder.cat 21 points 6 months ago

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."
