    closest thing we had to it was arrested in a Mcdonalds because some dumbass making less than 12 dollars and hour dropped a dime on him.

    Can’t have robin hood without some class solidarity.

      because some dumbass making less than 12 dollars and hour dropped a dime on him.

      You really should learn about how that actually happened…

      Because it’s most likely going to be how the case gets thrown out. If you care about it, I don’t know why anyone would willing stay ignorant

        Less hints more links my guy! Strong “parallel construction” vibes but I haven’t seen anything real solid yet and like to think I’m reasonably tuned in

          Literally the first link from searching “luigi McDonald’s”

          Authorities said a customer in the restaurant thought he matched the description of the suspect in Thompson’s killing and notified an employee, who called 911.

          https://www.newsweek.com/mcdonalds-worker-luigi-mangione-private-security-1999217

          That customer was almost certainly law enforcement, they just needed a scapegoat to call in the tip because they couldn’t say how they found him.

          The McDonald’s worker had no idea, that’s why their call was basically: “some guy said another guy is dangerous and wanted by police, I don’t know who”.

          And cops immediately swarmed and singled out Luigi.

          You may believe you’re “reasonably tuned in” but this information was out within like 24 hrs of his arrest everywhere.

            That link says absolutely nothing about the source of the “tip”, you’re kinda being a prick about this without providing the substance that makes people put up with that. We’re even on the same side of this very specific niche case and you put more effort into some weak dunks than sharing info and downvoted me. Fuck off dude
