    Columbine kicked off an epidemic of school shootings because of the attention it got. Some people need a focus for their misery and I am not ashamed to say that I would rather see heartless corporate executives fear for their safety instead of school children gunned down as they hide in a closet. Just putting that out there.

    …and all that came of the whole affair was a bunch of bad reviews for a McDonald’s, which were promptly deleted by the corporation controlling all data.

      No, there was a lot more that came of this (unless you’re specifically referencing the snitching part).

      • It’s made business execs afraid.
      • It’s shown the working class how to have solidarity.
      • It’s been a rallying cry for how much the people hare the current system.
      • It’s given us a martyr.
      • It’s taught the would be school shooters that they’ll get lots of positive attention for redirecting their targets towards those deserving. They’ll get labeled a folk hero, they’ll have people trying to send them money for their legal defense fund, they’ll get their name in the history books. They’ll get everything they ever wanted out of their act of violence.

      And I’m sure there’s more.

    Wait for the next step: the franchise fires the employee because of several 1 star reviews and death threats

      He didn’t tip off the right agency. AND the reward depends on a conviction, not an arrest. AND he gets a proportion of the reward depending on how instrumental his info was in the case being solved.
      (AND the poor are just tools to those in power.)

      Edit: or so I gathered.
