Anybody who sells the shooter out to the cops for any amount of money, especially that fucking insult of a lowball offer, should really ask themselves why they are ratting on a person who had no issue shooting somebody in the streets in broad daylight and has pretty broad support in having done that. Why attract that attention to yourself?
WE'RE CLOSING IN ON THE SHOOTER. HE HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED AND LOCATED. BUT IF ANYONE WANTS TO LET US KNOW WHO HE IS AND WHERE HE IS WE'LL GIVE THEM 50,000 DOLLARS
i mean, didn't the social mass murderer cash out like 100-150 million dollars worth of options as a little treat for himself in the week before he died in a folk hero involved shooting? i know lowballing the proletarians is sort of The Move™ for class traitors to find each other, but lmao.
It's not just about lowballing the proletariat, offering a million dollar reward is reserved for people the FBI wants to be seen as a threat to national security. They can't give him the same supervillain notoriety as some Middle Eastern guy whose hideout is about to be on the receiving end of a trillion $ worth of Raytheon products. It would cement his folk hero status and they know that. They're lowballing bc the ghouls are scared of where this is going.
If they raise the reward they also invite someone else to say, "listen, son, they've given me six months to live unless I get this medication and the insurance company denied the claim; I'll be popping out for a bit and when I get home you can call the FBI for what I suspect will be quite the prize."
"Hello, FBI? Yes, I have some information. The shooter was dressed in black and had a backpack on, and he had a gun. ... Well I didn't see 'novel' and 'useful' anywhere in the ad, do I get my 50k by check or...?"
It's a very interesting strategy. They're playing 4D chess by telling us they've already figured out who he is and simultaneously giving him a false sense of ease by upping the bounty.
There's a possibility that the NYPD/FBI does have more info than they've publicly let on. Who knows.
But if you believe that right now based solely on the word of the most lying-ass liars in the country, well, I have multiple bridges to sell you.
Much like the "Is Russia about to roll into Ukraine?" news right before that happened, the end result, what actually happens is sort of irrelevant. Your analysis and why you thought one thing or another is important. If you just blindly believed the US state dept, who constantly lies, and think you were "totally correct and the left are dumdum Putin fans!", congratulations, you're a dumb fuck. And it's the same thing here.
If you believe probably the most corrupt, lying POS mayor (ex-cop, btw... "ex" you never stop being a cop) in the country at the moment and the FBI blindly without them providing literally any reason to believe them in this case... you're a sucker and a dupe. That remains true independent of if they're actually lying or not
I'm saying all of this now so that IF in a week or something it turns out that this one singular time the FBI wasn't lying, the liberals have already been preemptively informed that they are dipshit dinguses for believing them without evidence (and secondly for celebrating "being right"...). Gotta preempt everything now since liberals have fully failed to see that their analysis around things is wrong. Sometimes you will accidentally have the correct guess as to ultimate outcome even with the wrong analysis. But much like math classes, the method and the logic is important. Not just the answer. That's why you gotta show your work. Show your work libs! (You can't when they don't release evidence... this is my whole repeated, long winded ass point)
Even people I know in russia were blindsided by that. We were literally mid conversation about it when all of a sudden everyone was like holy shit they actually did it.
$50,000 is the perfect amount of money to offer, imo. Just enough that they can pretend they’re taking it seriously, but not enough that they’re going to get overwhelmed by scammers and nutjobs trying to get a piece of the pie.
