No friends, for the rest of their fucking lives. I hope 50 grand was worth your fucking soul. Bootlicker extreme

I do wonder if they wanted to be caught on some level chilling in a McDonalds on a laptop with a ghost gun in their backpack and a similar outfit, but more info will probably come out.

If he wanted to be caught, it's possible he made an anonymous tip on himself and the workers caught the blame. Just a thought.

Yeah I mean if this is the person and they were an Ivy league educated tech worker with no background in violence/war, one might feel pretty guilty and out of sorts after killing someone regardless whether that person deserved it or not, many things are possible

They’re not even getting the money. What a ducking joke.

[-] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 39 points 7 months ago

This isn't even humor at this point. I'm legitimately starting to think The Onion is in the midst of transitional changes to becoming a legitimate news outlet that just reports news.

Like this one doesn't even seem absurd or funny. It just seems like the logical reaction people will have. This just comes off as a legit news report on an aburd situation. Rather than an absurd mocking news report on a realistically fake situatuation.

The joke here is a little more subtle. It's that this particular Maccas was already 1 star, so these reviews aren't actually hurting it. The reviews are just changing the reason given for being 1 star.

I truly hope that rat is shunned and shamed everywhere they go.

I heard it was some boomer customer that ratted him out

It fits my bias so I believe it

On NPR.... "The real hero...." Fuck you McDonald's asshole! Let us known when you realize how stupid your decision was.

I would seriously never speak to someone again if I learned they were on a jury that convicted Luigi.

Maybe they'll use the 50k to escape Altoona and move to a country with better health care.

[-] maxalmonte14@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

The constant search for who to demonize is the never-ending mission of social justice keyboard warriors.

To seek out new perps and new complicit ones.

To boldly blame those no one has blamed before.
