Columbine kicked off an epidemic of school shootings because of the attention it got. Some people need a focus for their misery and I am not ashamed to say that I would rather see heartless corporate executives fear for their safety instead of school children gunned down as they hide in a closet. Just putting that out there.

...and all that came of the whole affair was a bunch of bad reviews for a McDonald's, which were promptly deleted by the corporation controlling all data.

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.

Wait for the next step: the franchise fires the employee because of several 1 star reviews and death threats

I hope that McDonalds has “class traitor” graffiti on it

Did they seriously not give the snitch the bounty? Can anyone provide official news story on this?

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.

is there news source for "fuck right off about that reward, bud"?

Let this be a lesson to any other proles who think Big Brother is somehow on your side. They are not.

They will do and say anything they can to ensure they get what they want, and the rest of us lose. The system is not broken; it’s working as it was designed.

Next time keep your head down and your mouth shut.

Wait where is is that the compensation will not be provided? This was the first time I heard this

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.

*Supposed killer

He's only a suspect at the moment

Don't forget: McD's also took down all the negative "overrun by rats" reviews for that location, and drumroll nothing happens...

It's not guaranteed they won't pay the peon. There's just a process.

It seems like a weird process because everything in the legal world is framed in terms of adversaries, people trying to game the system, official processes that have to be followed, and delays. And for all I know, it will lead to whoever ratted him out getting the shaft. But there's a big difference between "It's more complicated than bebopping on down to your FBI office and getting handed a check" and "They're definitely going to shaft him."

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.
