      From the low res photos he seems like he might be hot. Two hot shooters in a row? IDK what this means for fall and spring shooting trends, but I like it.

        Until Thomas Matthew Crooks I used to think that going by three names was the key element to being an assassin, but maybe it was being hot all along.

        Maybe that’s why Lee Harvey Oswald was killed. Not because somebody was upset he’d shot Kennedy, but out of jealousy he was going to be knee deep in clunge.

    No one will get paid any reward. Some corrupt official is going to pocket that money.

    A lot of these rewards have small print that says that reward is for substantial information that leads to the arrest and CONVICTION of a suspect. The suspect has been arrested, but not yet convicted. Maybe they’ll get their money at the end, if Luigi gets convicted, which I highly doubt.

    Otherwise, people would just be turning in randos for the rewards. They have to be credible enough suspects that they can be convicted.

      Given how much information they lost during DOGE’s bullshit. I don’t think they bothered to record who the person was or even cared. Also they have a notorious reputation of never paying people.

        A lot of people are saying Trump sent the hit. Is it a joke or do you actually think he might’ve?

            Not only that, but the embarrassment that was the birthday letter probably drove him to want to get attention off it as quickly as possible.

            Also Trump is dying. He wants to cause as much hell as he can before he goes. The shitstorm this has done is really bad.

          Its a half-joke.

          Kinda like “Bush did 9/11”, it’s possible, nothing is really out of the realm of possibility, but sometimes life just happens, you talk shit too much for too long and someone will have a problem with you.

          I’m not saying they aren’t capable of a a False Flag hit, after all they already did it once with the assassination hoax. I just doubt they’d hit their most successful and popular recruiter/indoctrinator. They really missed that position after Limbaugh assumed room temperature, and it looked like Ben Shapiro would be the one, then CK rose and took the spot. He was extremely valuable to the MAGA mission, and would have been for decades. Now they need to go to their bench and groom someone new.

          OTOH, apparently he was demanding the release of the Epstein Files, and someone of his influence could cause a lot of trouble. Sure, he recruits a lot of new conservative voters, but that’s not so important if you aren’t planning on having any more elections.

          So, maybe it was the MAGA Nazis, they certainly are capable of a lot worse. All I know is that whoever they arrest, and claims did it, is innocent, no matter what evidence they claim to have.

          I think if you look at everything that his administration is doing, I definitely believe that they are trying to stir up enough shit to get people to lash out, and then they will declare martial law and then we will effectively have a new monarchy in the USA.

          Do I really think that Trump would have someone killed just to change the national conversation? Of course he would, without any problem. However, I don’t think Trump had him killed mostly because I don’t think Trump is running the show. When I compare his first administration to his second, they are clearly not being run by the same people.

          Trump is also obviously as bad off as Biden was at the end. He’s a zombie puppet that gets dragged out for show.

    No one ever gets those rewards, or if they do, it’s a couple hundred dollars for all your time they wasted.

    Doesn’t help to snitch to the government.

    I think it was Herschel, the Cracker Barrel Cracker that got canceled and reborn in a matter of days. He shot Charlie Kirk b/c he got canceled. Btw, that crowd in Utah was so white that mayonnaise was labeled spicy at the food court on campus. Also this, if the mf’er didn’t want to get shot, why in thee hell did he go to a school that coincidentally rolled back their policies regarding weapons/firearms on campus? There is that.

      Probably specifically to make a point about how it’s safer when there are good guys with guns or whatever

          And I do feel safer knowing there’s one less whackjob propagandist out there… Maybe they were actually onto something and just didn’t realize who the good guys were?

    They won’t. Trump has made a career out of stiffing the little guy, why would this time be any different?

      Here is one…

      After initial news broke that they didn’t dial the right number (she called 911, not the 1-800 tip line) officials walked it back and said maaaybe but we won’t know until a conviction is final.

    How do we know they didn’t get the reward for the tip on Luigi?

    I genuinly don’t know, it doesn’t look to be a source here.

    edit: Rewards are awarded after a conviction

    https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/crime/luigi-mangione-mccdonalds-worker-reward-b2663966.html

    Since most rewards require a conviction, Larry might have to wait until a trial completes, which could take a year or more, the Associated Press reported.

      The joke is that OP is trying to discourage other people from reporting the shooter by implying that any promised financial reward is simply a ruse.

      … Honestly it’s a noble enough goal, I don’t see much need to debunk it.

        So baseless thought. It would be interesting to consider the moral implications of taking money to uphold the law as it is.

        I seriously doubt OP had a joke in mind, i think they didn’t check if anyone actually got a reward and really thought no one did.
