    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.

        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

        First of all Reddit is responsible because they created and actively allow moderators to act the way they do. They perpetuate the fantasy that mods are all powerful and Reddit admins hands are tied when a person is targeted by a mod.

        Second the person worked there so it’s extremely ironic a slave wagee ratted on a person that was targeting corporate inequality and they denied her the payout.

    Columbine kicked off an epidemic of school shootings because of the attention it got.

          Historically it’s been threats to the owner / controller class that have produced serious gun control legislation in the US, so you are probably right! But if you mean actual confiscation a la Australia, pretty sure that’s off the table here. Sincerely think it’d spark a war no matter who sincerely attempts it or why.

        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.

      • 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.

          Being fired? For being a distraction from the work that McDonald’s wants to occur without people associating it with class warfare.

          Honestly it’s probably the manager reacting poorly and once it goes further up the ladder and there is more and more backlash they will turn back on these decisions same as the reward money if they are smart though I think the 10,000 is officially off the table since that was a private 3rd party and the 50,000 will likely be a fraction of that at best.

          Any kind of change from norm gets blamed on whoever they think caused it. And it hits wide and usually the innocent just as much.
