      Didn’t even dare, honestly. Snapped, lost her cool, life destroyed…

      Watch them trying paint her a Karen if she makes national headline and gets proper support.

      This ain’t right…

    However, Boston added that she does not own any firearms and “was not a danger to anyone,” police said.

    “She readily admitted that, ‘Yeah that’s exactly what I said but I didn’t mean anything by it’,” Chief Taylor said. “Well, you don’t get to pull that back after you say it.”

    Based on Boston’s statements, investigators said they believed she meant to threaten the insurance company “by using the UnitedHealthcare CEO’s homicide to her advantage.”

    Boston was charged with threats to conduct a mass shooting or an act of terrorism, according to the affidavit.

    THIS is why the patriot act and its continued reauthorization is just so fucked. We don’t have the rights we did before 2000 and she could not be charged with anything before that. Its especially ironic given she has done less wrong than our incoming president has done in his speeches. Threatening to execute many people rather than just one ceo.

    The fact that this happened is way more frightening than any statement she could have made.

    Do you hear the people sing?

    Singing the song of angry men

    This is the music of a people

    Who will not be slaves again

    When the beating of your heart

    Echoes the beating of a drum

    There is a life about to start

    When tomorrow comes

    Wonder if Chief Piggy Sam Taylor’s speech has been entirely free of no-no words his whole life, since that’s the standard he’s applying here?

    Somebody opt to rally like a million different people across the country together to all call their insurance companies on the same day and say delay, deny, depose.
