The reporting on how he came to be arrested is quite a bit different from what's all over social media. From what I've read, it wasn't until the cops showed up that anyone even knew who it was. It seems like he was acting strange after several days on the run and nights without much sleep. A concerned customer asked an employee to call the cops.

I don't know how accurate this story is, but I have no idea where the social media narrative came from, except that it was half written before he was ever captured. I think the anger at McDonalds and the employee involved is misplaced, and I hope it doesn't have serious consequences.

The narrative would be funnier if next some McD exes go missing ... with only 'fry in hell', 'ice cream machine is broken', and 'you are McRib material' casings found.

Luigi wasn't lower class, tho? You could try to argue his family was middle class but even that's a stretch, his grandfather donated a million dollars on a single event and Luigi attended both a Private High School where he was Valedictorian and he had a Masters Degree from Ivy League University of Pennsylvania.

There's no higher, middle or lower class. Those are all lies from the owning class to divide the working class and it seems like they're working on you.

Worker class is the true unifier. You can be lower, mid, and upper worker class.

If you have to work to live, you're working class. If your employer controls a significant portion of your life and time, you're working class.

He's a class traitor, to our side. So a working class hero, as in a hero to the working class.

Where did you see that they denied the reward payout? I haven't read anything about that yet.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 4 months ago

I hadn't heard that either, but Google turns up a few articles like this. TL;DR, the reward money may be contingent upon a conviction - which could take time or even be subverted if the suspect is acquitted.

Bertolt Brecht could probably come close
