Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.

Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.

No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.

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.
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.
Is it confirmed that the person didn't get the $50k reward that was posted?
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
It's in a mall.
That does complocate things
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.
The old dude that reported him was literally full faced giving an interview on TV. Forgot which outlet but I don't think they care about his identity.
Iirc, it was a staff member.
Yeah I think they are pushing this customer thing to take the heat off of another corporation
Last I heard it was a customer who let the employees know and an employee who made the call, so if that's true, both, kind of
Where did you hear that one from?
I'm not positive but I think it may have been TV news, but it does make sense and explains the confusion if true
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.
No. Fuck you.
agreed
I agree with you. Unfortunately for both of us, history says we are wrong. 😔
