Please, no one burn it down.
Look I’m sad they found him too, and fuck the people who turned him in, but no good will come from burning down the inanimate building where the caught him.
It would be a dispersion of the energies created by his act into a useless thing. Not to mention you might end up killing some people in the process; more or less innocent people. So can we tone it down a notch.
Wait til the building is empty. The good comes from sending a message. The message being that the rat is now allied with the enemy. Hopefully it will prevent further class traitors.
That's still just a chore for the local firefighters. The employee walking away with their $50,000 reward probably won't care that their minimum wage workplace got burned down.
What reward? They didn't get shit.
Is it confirmed that the person didn't get the $50k reward that was posted?
Not 100% until the dust settles, especially given the amount of attention on this story. Someone might pull some levers and get it done for posterity.
But at the same time, yes. At this point the /tipster/ didn't report using the Crime Stoppers line, they called 911. So no Crime Stoppers bounty for them, so say the rules of our corporate masters.
Better luck next time snitches, or just don't help the rich because they'll never have your back!

They’ll care when they need a job again after burning through that 50k. Which might take, oh… about as long as it takes to rebuild a McDonald’s.
I’d argue the original act is far more effective at sending a message
Was it the staff or a customer. That’s still up in the air, depending on the article.
I don't think they want the identity of the rat getting out. I'm willing to bet that there are plenty of people who really want to publicly remind everybody that snitches get stitches. Word on the street is that this rat can suddenly afford a $60k hospital bill, unlike UHC customers whose claims get denied every day.
I guess getting two nights in a hospital is worth throwing a hero under a bus.
My bet: the rat don't exist.
Iirc, it was a staff member.
Yeah I think they are pushing this customer thing to take the heat off of another corporation
No. Fuck you.
You're right, of course, burning down a building would be pointless.
I hope that everything is well with the McDonald's CEO and that he's safe and happy.
agreed
I agree with you. Unfortunately for both of us, history says we are wrong. 😔
I don't get it. Why should that McDonalds and its staff suffer?
It's McDonald's. The staff was already suffering.
Bet everyone who works there knows who the snitch is.
For $60k it could be anyone. That'd probably be double the manager's yearly income, and more than anyone else's there.
Because a mob isn't very nuanced in its judgement.
Maybe put that energy into something useful instead
Like?
More ceo's.
Haha. Sure okay. You do one and then I’ll do one.
