Well, except the guy came from a well-off family and had a good higher education. Not really a “lower-class” type, but certainly someone who could be rallied behind.

The sad thing is the rat will get their money if Mangione is convicted (and he most probably will even if he's just a scapegoat). Even if the responsible office will block the reward, some CEO will jump in and hand him way more than the 60k. Maybe they'll fabricate it into a heatwarming christmas story with some sad background stories of the rat and how they're now able to pay off the mortgage of their parents home or something.

There are actually more details involving where the rewards come from and the existence of an evaluation process, i.e. you don't just make a phone call and somebody hands you a pile of cash. That's how rewards have always worked. But anything beyond a meme-level thought process is super boring, right? Gotta make an instant value judgement, congratulate yourself for uncovering injustice, and scroll on to the next item in the feed.

And somehow we still expect elections to produce meaningful results.
