Article titled “Bizarre reason why McDonald’s worker might not receive $60,000 reward for identifying Luigi Mangione” and a comment reading “a Byzantine system of arbitrary rules designed to keep people from successfully claiming what was promised to them???”

    If you were on minimum wage, and were offered 60k, you wouldn’t take it?

    And don’t say “I’D neVer bE a bOotLicKing tRaitor!!” because that’s bullshit. Most of you would do it, you’re just brave behind a keyboard.

      I’ve worked at McDonald’s when I was in college and sometimes would go days without eating.

      I can confidently say if I saw Luigi I’d tell him he could hide out at my place and if tell Bowser he’s in another castle.

      I don’t even live in the USA anymore, but fuck you. Not all poor people lack dignity for what’s right.

        I would have taken him in ffs. The dude is the martyr that is sparking the change this country needs. He said “fuck trimming the branches” and ripped out one of the damn roots.

        The whole system needs to be over turned and stomped on so the real workers remain and all the profiteering jackoffs bite the dust. I’m even politically conservative and believe in true regulated capitalism; what we have is not that, and it won’t change until you cut the head and bleed it out.

      It doesn’t even have to be a moral thing. Anyone who spends much time online should know that drawing the ire of the many people who have voiced support for him might be a bad idea. I read it was an elderly woman, so that checks out.
