Shouldn't the sports books be able to locate Brian? After all, he has a gambling problem.
Because this is a political "red ball", there's quite a bit of money being poured into this case.
There's a fair argument to be made that no search should be done and should not have been done at all but calculated the projected cost to law enforcement and tax payers so far and simply offer a bounty at 50-75 percent of that total.
The actual existing cash bounties total to somewhere around a quarter of a million dollars. Make it 5 million and you'll see a much different response.
The 5 million would be contingent on a conviction or the return of his body where his identity could be verified. That's essentially a public kill order. Something that needs to be reiterated is there is a massive political / public perception incentive for the FBI to find Laundrie dead.
Run the hypothetical. If this was NOT the United States and some other non Western country, particularly a hard line one, what would happen? If I worked for that kind of place and that kind of government, and ran the actual op, what is the pathway?
Remember this is a hypothetical as a thought exercise as to how other countries might deal with this situation. You take the father and mother of the runner. Each day you put them in a public square. You cut off a finger from each of them. Each day you cut off another finger. Then toes. Then take their forearms. Upper arms. Lower leg. Upper leg. Ears. Mouth. Nose. Eyelids. Tongue. Then you pull teeth.
At some point, Laundrie, if he's still alive, will surrender. If he's not alive, you now create a deterrent for embryo Laundries in the future.
Most of you have not truly traveled outside the safety and bubble of the Western world. The way the rest of the world works is much different.
Now nearly all of you would start shouting about human rights and laws and on and on and on. And you'd have a point. Except imagine if it was your daughter. For many of you, in a dark silent place you pretend doesn't exist, if it was your little girl, you'd hand me a pair of pliers and a Gatorade.
Getting Laundrie, if he's still alive, to pop up his head is exceedingly easy. It's just most of you couldn't stomach it. I have a newsflash for most of you. As you sit in front your big screen TVs and eat your steak and complain non stop about your first world problems, how do you think you are able to live how you do actually live as a likely over-privileged American? You get to do so because there are people in rooms all around the world who are holding a pair of pliers and pulling teeth to push the back room deals and ugly brokering of human souls to keep American "exceptionalism" on top.
The lives you all live is built on blood. The whining and the virtue signaling are the battle cries of those who were born into abundance and physical safety. There's a world underneath your overwrought tone deaf smug white collar bubble. It's where the sausage actually gets made.
I could get Laundrie to surrender himself, if he was still alive and actually tracking the nationally daily media cycle, in 48 hours. But who are we kidding. He wouldn't be allowed to surrender. The FBI wouldn't take a chance he goes to trial and squeezes his way out of this. He would have 20 FBI HRT operators eviscerate him with about 800 rounds of ammunition. It doesn't have to be actual justice, it just needs to look like justice to satisfy the American people. And the masses are simply the mob with a different set of open restraints.
Nearly all of you were born into abundance but that's not really the true problem. The issue is nearly all of you were born soft. Weak is weak, it's not gentle, it's just makes you another target.
Guys like me aren't kept around because we know how to make sausage. We are kept around because we know how to keep people from asking how it actually gets made.
