Isn't it fucked that they're doing this for this guy just because he's rich?
We are all created equal. Some are created more equal than others.
+1 for the Orwell reference
They're doing it because the guy on the run crossed state lines. That makes it federal, so the FBI has jurisdiction and it's easier for them to work cross-border than the NYPD. It's getting more resources because it's a highly publicized case. I'm sure there's some pressure from some wealthy and/or powerful people as well to find whoever did it, but it's not surprising that the FBI is involved now.
And surely they offer $50k every time they believe a murder suspect has crossed state lines, right? Every single time?
They offer money for a lot of cases, yes. Up to 5 million for most wanted.
Did you misread my question, or...?
Naw. They offer $5k for every fugitive and are involved in every case that crosses state lines.
Unless you mean the exactly 50k part, in which case they could just put him on the most wanted and make it 5 million because rich people. Hey, who knows, maybe they will.
Probably when it's as important to them as thing given the reaction it got from the public
Thanks for info
Yes, but also completely fucking unsurprising.
