It's Interesting That the Police Are Taking Credit for the Capture.

Not much mention by law enforcement about the person in that McDonalds that spotted him and generated the call to police that led to the arrest. It was the "hard work by law enforcement" they're saying.

Not much mention by the cops at all of the McDonalds folks. I find that interesting. A bit disturbing, too.

1. They traced him around the city to get his pics out there

And given the amount of cameras in NYC and footage needing review, it was probably pretty meticulous work.

Not sure why it's disturbing.

And given things, the person at McDonald's probably figures the less they're mentioned the better. The Internet's being a thing at the moment.

4. Yes, they did. I don't think they were considering Altoona, though,

as a likely place for him to turn up.

2. CNN interviewed several customers who were in McDs. Don't think they have interviewed person who called police.

I bet they do, after the whistleblower gets a lawyer to represent them (lawyer for negotiating payment for interviews, etc.)

I want to see if the eyebrows tipped them off.

3. That tipster in McDonald's is no fool. He/she wants that 50k rewardl

[MineralMan]

5. Should get that reward, too. I hope that happens.

7. Lots of talk that he won't be getting paid, because he called 911, not the tip line.

Apparently he kicked up a bit of a fuss on Twitter before he came to his senses (or was ordered to) and deleted the posts. I guess this is pretty common for those "Crimestopper"-style reward offerings.

Considering the Internet manhunt now underway to find the Tipster, I don't think I'd want the 60k just to avoid the inevitable backlash and becoming a hated public figure. Poor guy's gonna end up getting doxxed and Swatted every day for the next three or four months.

17. That's a whole lot of wrong. 911 is reasonable move; and murderers need to be apprehended

Regardless of who they murder.
Otherwise the US turns into a lawless sh**** country.

18. It may be a whole lot of "Wrong" but not a whole lot of Wrong. Crimestoppers is notorious for bilking tipsters. n/t

6. I thought a customer tipped off McD. staff

who then called 911. If that's the case, the reward should maybe be split..

[MineralMan]

8. Yes, I heard that, too. The story on that still isn't complete, I think.

Wisely, whoever is involved is staying out of the public's eye. Smart.

[yorkster]

9. Maybe they can get a reward on the Q.T....

so to speak.

[MineralMan]

14. That would be perfect.

12. More details.

Mangione was sitting in the rear of the McDonald's wearing a blue medical mask and looking at a laptop computer, court documents said. A customer saw him and an employee called 911, said Kaz Daughtry, an NYPD deputy.

10. And the HamBurglar still walks free....

11. They worked 24/7 since it happened.

I’d say they deserve all the praise in the world we can offer them.

15. Can't have a mere FF worker and woman deflating their hard-on you know. nt
