Anyone who rats him out will be the most hated person in America. There’ll be folk songs casting them as Judas and raps comparing them to the killers of Black Panther organisers and artworks of them burning in Hell with Hitler and Nixon and Murdoch, and eventually their descendants will change their surnames to evade the association.

The hostel that handed over images to police before they had a warrant is already catching shade.

I'm surprised they haven't caught more than that

The most hated on Lemmy for sure. I am less certain about the whole USA. As most are aware, Lemmy is very radicalised.

What are normal people that aren't chronically online thinking?

Have you taken a look at Facebook or Twitter....?

This is the single most unifying event in America since the Game of Thrones finale...

MAGA chuds, blue hairs, tankies, and normies, are all pretty united in their collective "lol".

The same shit. Actually talk to people and they are all apathetic to the healthcare millionaire vampire sucking people dry

I've been seeing the same memes in local groups without specific political leans

If nothing else, this is why I didn't think anyone would rat him out. Especially for the measly $50k the law is offering. They'd have to make it $5+ million, paid in advance and anonymously, so the idiot snitch could GTFO of Dodge before they come down with a sudden case of lynch mob.

They upped it from $10,000?

Lol
