Cant really blame one person. He/she probably got brainwashed by mainstream media propaganda that frames the CEO as some sort of “good person”.
Oh no, we can blame them. Fucking rat.
I don’t think they should be punished, though. I think we should save that energy for the CEO’s.
You must live a very privileged life if you can afford to ignore a 50k reward. A Macces worker certainly can’t.
You’re falling for the lie the top 1% keep telling. No, it’s not the poor person’s fault to be forced into taking any chance they get to make some money. If anything, blame the CEO of McDonald’s that his workers earn so little. Also, direct some of your wrath at those who now enjoy a lavish feast by keeping the money, just because the “wrong” number was dailled.
$50k of a reward. Probably over 1.5 years of salary.
I think I’m getting tired of people putting survival over standing up to the system.
Should people that still work at Twitter get a pass for the destruction it’s doing because there are lower level employees that need a paycheck to survive? How about employees at Google that indirectly enable Google to amass data at such a large scale it becomes impossible to have any privacy?
I understand the need to survive. Does a McDonalds worker lose anything by not turning the guy in? Is 50k worth the potential long term gain for society if the rich become fearful?
Maybe after a certain point even those trying to survive should share the blame for the negativity their contributions bring. Where that line is, I’m not sure.
This transaction feels like a bribe to keep the poors in check. “Here’s enough money for a small trailer to live in. Have fun.”
I am honestly appreciate, that not everyone shares the same bloodlust people on lemmy have
i don’t think anyone on lemmy is simply bloodlusting. The CEO getting murdered just shows how sick people are of the current system lol
People don’t necessarily actually want more murders to happen, they just want the system to be fixed. Unfortunately, it was so bad it got to this.
Now, murder is bad and it’s usually bad to go vigilante justice, however in this scenario it’s preferable over the much bigger quantity of deaths and suffering the CEO had on his hands.
Problem is a lot of people, maybe even the majority on Lemmy, don’t seem satisfied with just one CEO. They’re calling for more violence, more vigilante murders. That is a slippery slope for obvious reasons, and requires a lot of faith in humanity to pick the right targets.
Then you’d need a majority in democracy to vote in their interests. But they voted for Trump, a man who wants to get rid of the ACA and impose senseless tariffs on all countries while cutting down on regulation that keeps people save and installing his own unhinged lackeys. Harsh rhetoric, but I want to say the American people have voted against their interest, and if political pressure was there change would be possible. I like that this issue is getting attention but I strongly question people calling for more murder and chaos.
It was not a customer that reported him. It was an employee. Your misinformation is probably not appreciated by the person you’re pretending to be concerned about.
Um akshually it was a customer that reported them to an employee, who then reported them to the cops.
Why the hell would anyone report a killer to a McDonald’s Employee?
There is a video of the customer talking about it. He said that they were just jokingly talking with some friends about how that dude looked like the CEO killer. But not him not any of his friends called the police or had intention too.
The rat was the mcDonald employee, who, after hearing this called the police to get the reward.
Every article I’ve read says it was a customer. Only people on SM are saying it was an employee.
My understanding is that initial reports just stated that he was reported inside a McDonald’s, and lots of people and articles assumed it was a customer. But every recent article I’ve seen states it was an employee. At this point it could be either one, but from what I can see, I think it was an employee.
Not sure if they took it down or what, but theres no images of the customer, and the video that presumably shows them wont play or load on my phone. You got a screenshot? Also didnt see a hometown listed unless they grew up in that town
I’d be keeping my head down if I was him.
You say this, but you’re posting articles with a video of him, falsely stating that he’s the one the made the report, when if you watch the video it’s pretty clear he was not. You really should edit this comment and your parent one if you are concerned about this completely innocent person’s well-being.
Most of you in this comments section are unhinged. Lemmy is going to the shitter really fast it seems.
NUKE THAT MAC
