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.
The average citizen doesn't know, care, or even understand. Nor do they want to.
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
Wait for the next step: the franchise fires the employee because of several 1 star reviews and death threats
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.
Or they pretended to be a customer and said to the employee, "Gee, that guy really looks a lot like the killer, doesn't he, ha ha wouldn't that be funny, anyway give me a big mac and fries. He does look like him though."
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
I don't feel like you need to ~~apologize for~~ excuse saying a heartfelt thank you with a text comment, just because it doesn't add to the discussion. We need more of this kindness in the world. ❤️
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.
The tip didn't contribute to conviction, only the arrest. The words "both" and "and" rather than "consequent" are explicit.
The rat won't be paid.
"McDonald’s employee who called 911 in CEO’s shooting is eligible for a reward, but it will take time"
Yeah its good to be skeptical of something like this that everyone wants to be true.
I don't have a citation. But I do believe that you'd normally have to wait for a conviction before getting the reward. Otherwise it could be the wrong guy.
Did they seriously not give the snitch the bounty? Can anyone provide official news story on this?
Iirc they never actually pay the reward in almost every reward poster for one reason or another.
Conviction is required, and the informant needs formal recognition by the FBI as a recognized informant first. Karen just called 911, forfeiting the reward.
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.
Do a favor for the cops, they give you nothing and often end up revealing who you are, sometimes by accident.
Do a favor for the mafia and they do one for you
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.
