Why are we pretending like this isn’t prudent on NYPD’s part? If this weren’t 2000 miles away I’d probably show up, if not to try and bust him out then at the very least to throw shit at the cops and yell. And if I’m considering driving a prius thru the fence to free the guy, I can only imagine what the non suburban-cishet-white-male-techie demographic is feeling about it.
Yeah, I assumed it wasn’t too keep him under control, but because of the hero worship he’s receiving.
To people who don’t know the story (ie potential jurors) it could be detrimental, but I’m sure his lawyer will address that.
I’d try to get close enough to look like one of those true crime fanatics and throw my bra and panties at him. Pretty sure he would know how to use the bra wire to make lockpicks.
I think out of all I’ve been reading, your comment has brought me a lot joy and smiles. Thank you for something good on a Friday night after a tough week.
Glad to help, as someone who fits the specified demographic in the comment I originally replied to. Except white, I have no ethnic background that would make me even remotely white. Hope the rest of the holiday season looks up for you, cheers!
Yeah no shit, crowds didn’t gather around to ask for the release of the college killer.
It’s making a statement that if you go after the rich/CEOs - they’ll throw every resource into finding you.
The lesson of the story seems to be to keep the fuck away from McDonalds.
I’ve started to doubt the McDonald’s story - I don’t see how anybody could have recognised him, based on the photos that were released. The FBI were given LM’s name on the 5th (as someone who had been reported missing), and they arrested him on the 9th. My conspiracy theory is that I think they found him using means that they don’t want us to know about, and sent a group of ex-cops to McDs, to loudly talk about him until they were overheard by an employee. So it could’ve happened anywhere, really.
might as well, if they’re salaried they’re getting paid either way.
That was my first reaction, but cops make mad overtime. If they are salaried then they are definitely considered “non exempt” which means they can make overtime. Shit like this can let them bill a bunch of overtime hours.
When I was young I heard several adults say something along the lines of “yeah cops love that overtime”. I thought it meant they worked all the time. Now that I’m in a job where I bill my own hours I get it. They just claim a bunch of overtime for something unusual like this.
Well, Elon and Donald have taken care of the “salaried” thing now. But yes, they are showing him off like Hannibal Lector. They have treated worse people better, but they just killed “blacks”, not CEOs.
They‘re just treating him like this because it is less common to kill a CEO than students or black people.
I hope nobody changes that, sincerely. I really hope that, from the bottom of my heart. If someone was to hunt CEOs for sport, that would be so awful! Oh dear lord I would not want to live in a world where poor innocent CEOs were hunted like dogs.
It would be a horribly dystopian twist on Battle Royale / Hunger Games if CEOs of companies found to have caused needless death or suffering, were rounded up and pitted against each other. And televised.
Nobody should think of that. It’s terrible. Can nobody write that down please.
Race doesn’t matter as much once you have enough money and power. Think of Jo Bob from the widget factory and his black friend George. He hates black people but he loves George because he’s One of the Good Ones™️
Edit- Once I was at a party at a guy I’ve known for a long time’s new house. He was making big money (for us) as a factory supervisor and got to buy a house. He and his wife’s parents are rich but I don’t know if they gave them money or not.
He’s from out in the country. One of my wife’s friends from high school. He gets drunk and starts talking about how there’s only one black guy working in his division and that guy laughs at the racist jokes and doesn’t care when people say removed.
Now I’ve ruined people’s time before for very stupid reasons, but this time I had a good one. I loudly told him what he and his employees were doing was racist as fuck and the black dude was going along with being dehumanized because he needed the fucking job. He’s hated me ever since.
