The bootlickers never cease to amaze me. A McDonald’s employee? Are you fucking kidding me?

Some people really do seem to believe that “murder is wrong.” Who’d have thought?

Nuance: unjustified murder is wrong. Someone who dedicates their life to destroying others for profit, murdering them is significantly less violent than letting them persist, and is therefore justified.

Nuance… There are people calling for violence against the McDonald’s employee who reported the murderer to the police.

Tankies didn’t know the meaning of the word “nuance”. People who express nuance are “Nazi sympathizers” or “class traitors”. Anyone with a remotely “centrist” view is “sitting in a Nazi bar” and therefore culpable.

This place is a shithole of absolute moralism.

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.

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.

So if killing one person is bad, isn’t killing hundreds to thousands of innocent people/year hundreds to thousands of times more bad?

Can we guarantee they’d report him if there was no financial incentive?

The system really doesn’t give a fuck about your or anyone else’s morals, let’s not pretend otherwise. That’s why they put a bounty on the killer, after all.

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.

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.
