I don’t think that’s the scenario people suspect.
The anonymous person could have been police or some sort of agent, who ask the employee to make the call, to cover up they already knew where he was, because they knew by illegal means.
IDK if that is true or not, but it is possible, so I wouldn’t call it nonsense.
Why didn’t the anonymous person want the reward himself? Why did Luigi walk around with the murder weapon for 5 days?
Those are plausible questions we may get answers to during the case, but it does seem a bit weird.
Ah, apologies. Not a paid actor but instead an undercover cop posing as a mcdonald’s employee. That totally explains why absolutely nobody else at that mcdonald’s would have said “Yeah, I have no idea who that person was but they don’t work here” and so forth.
Moving on:
Why didn’t the anonymous person want the reward himself?
Because anyone who has been around the block a few times knows that these rewards rarely ever pay out. Also, good odds the “good samaritan” would have been smart enough to realize they don’t want to be the face that brought America’s Favorite Alleged Murderer “to justice”.
Why did Luigi walk around with the murder weapon for 5 days?
He also, allegedly, had his manifesto on him. And he was more than rich enough to have booked a same day flight to a non extradition treaty country the afternoon of the shooting.
Those are plausible questions we may get answers to during the case, but it does seem a bit weird.
A lot of things are “weird”. Believe it or not but perfectly sane and rational people tend to not allegedly 3d print a firearm to allegedly stake out someone for days to allegedly plug them in the head for being evil sons of bitches.
But “True Crime” podcasts and TV have rotted people’s brains into thinking a single anomaly instantly is the smoking gun. When the reality is… people are weird and so is life. One of my favorite “deprogramming” tools is to just point out the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand that kicked off WW1. If that were a movie it would be a comedy that even Adam Sandler would say was “a bit much”. But that was life.
It is pretty clear to most people that they are not saying someone posed as a McDonalds employee. I’m not sure if you’re being deliberately obtuse, but in case you or anyone else is misunderstanding, they are suggesting the following:
A cop/fed illegally obtained his whereabouts. They follow him into a McD. The cop/fed goes up to McD employee and says “you should call in a tip there’s a big reward”. They don’t mention they are a cop/fed to the McD employee. Now that there is a record of “an anonymous tip” they have an on the books explanation of how they located him without having to disclose how they actually were able to track him.
I’m not saying that’s what happened, but you seem to have repeatedly misunderstood so I’m just making it clear.
ALL they needed was to say “yo dog, that dude looks like the dude in the security camera footage”. Simple as that. Also, why even include a mcdonald’s employee at that point rather than just leaving an “anonymous tip” on a hotline?

… That is somehow even stupider

Again, jet fuel, steel beams, what the fuck?
the assassination itself is a comedy of errors. they actually managed to escape only to happen to turn down an alley with an assassin.
