I don’t care about THIS Parent! I ONLY care about RICH Parents like Brian Thompson!
Her words after this were “you people are next”
Kinda gives her less leeway here
They set $100K bond and she could get a 15 year prison sentence!?!?!? That’s insane. Far far out of proportion to what she said. Obviously there’s no way she is any kind of a threat to anyone and they know it. But they’re going to fuck her over to make an example of her. What a dystopia we’re living in.
It feels like the elites “putting us in our place”. This is a form of torture, a sentence or threat of a sentence that is far too strict for the crime. Publicize it so the masses can see.
Feels like they’re trying to show us what happens when we get uppity with the billionaire class.
Hopefully I’m wrong. Hopefully there’s still rule of law, a judge throws it out, and maybe she can sue. Time will tell.
I think it will backfire on them. I think “the elites” have lost control of the situation, and efforts like this are just throwing fuel on the fire.
Time will tell
Weelll, lets say history tells it already.
No shit. There’s no need to “wait and see”. We see it every day.
More likely, she’ll get a 100k settlement for the violation of her first amendment rights.
She won’t since her next words were, “You’re next.”
“You’re Next” is a prediction, not a threat. She is predicting the potentiality of a copycat with similar motives. She is fully within her first amendment rights to do that.
Her statement was enough to justify an investigation, but it was not enough to justify an arrest, or the bringing of charges. So, I predict that she has a good case for a settlement, and I predict that the amount of that settlement will be $100,000.
If she does… I know what I’m gonna be screaming 24/7
First amendment violation. I hope she sues the shit out of them.
Facebook up, delete a gym, hit a lawyer.
1A doesn’t cover threats of violence.
What threat?
In what way did she threaten violence
You people are next.
As someone else said, sounds like a prediction, not a threat. To arrest a mother, who doesn’t own a weapon and has no criminal record, it’s insane to use that as justification for incarceration.
How do those boots taste?
It’s usually a bad idea to outright dismiss a perceived terroristic threat. While it might be a prediction and not a threat, that’s for the courts to decide, not the cops.
If someone referenced a very recent assassination and told me I was next, I would take that as a credible threat and call the cops.
If I told you I was going to shoot you, would you have any way to immediately validate that threat? Do you know if I own a gun? Can you find out in a reasonable time to defend yourself if I was being serious with such a threat? Whether or not she can carry out the threat is irrelevant to the threat being made.
How do those boots taste?
Congratulations on falling for the corpo propaganda and thinking that we should be fighting amongst ourselves.
If I told you I was going to shoot you
That’s not what was said
I didn’t say it was.
Regarding corporations promoting infighting: I’m defending the person who challenged the corporation. You’re defending the corporation. Jesus Christ dude
lmfao what? How do you think I’m defending a corporation? By explaining how threats work? Are you really that desperate to find a boogeyman that you’ll cannibalize your own team to get there? This lady made a threat, no matter how badly you may want to pretend otherwise. You may or may not think it’s wrong for her to have done so, but if you disagree that she did it, then you’re being willfully ignorant.
Make sure to give Luigi a few bucks. It’s over $70,000
How do you know it’s legit?
Well, it was on all the news websites. I mean, yeah… there is a chance. But, it’s pretty high profile right now, so they would really have to be shady to get past major national news.
I’m willing to take that chance. It’s over 80k, you don’t just get to walk away with that money. Someone will go down for it.
I’m willing to take the chance. What’s a few bucks? Besides if it turns out to be fake, you can just complain to your credit card company and they will reverse the charges.
The judge is going to create the exact effect they’re trying to avoid with that $100,000 bond!
[she] was charged with threats to conduct a mass shooting or an act of terrorism
How
Delay, Deny, Depose. You people are next.
Probably the last sentence
She doesn’t even own a gun and seems to pose little tangible threat, yet they’re claiming intent to commit mass murder or terrorism. Its a ridiculous stretch from that little comment
You do realize that it’s possible to possess a weapon that isn’t registered to you, right?
Why would you not take a person referencing a recent assassination and telling you that you are next seriously? I’d 100% call the cops if that happened to me when I was a call center agent.
I’m not saying it shouldn’t have been followed up on but, given what we know now, it seems ridiculous to charge her with intent to commit a mass shooting or terrorist attack
The woman just means that the people she was talking to will be screwed over by insurance too.
She was saying we’re all in this together, basically!
Her last sentence was a prediction, not a threat.
You can read her mind?
Yes, actually, I can, at least as far as legality is concerned. The way I can read her mind is by remembering “Presumption of innocence.” She is innocent unless and until the state proves her guilt beyond the shadow of a reasonable doubt.
In this case, that means there must be zero ambiguity to her statement. If her statement can be reasonably interpreted in multiple ways, and at least one of those ways is innocent, that interpretation is the only interpretation the law is allowed to use.
So yes, as far as the law is concerned, I can, indeed, read her mind: She was predicting the actions of a copycat, not issuing a threat.
You’re talking about being found guilty of the crime. You can definitely be arrested for making a statement that in the context was a terroristic threat, and be found not guilty of the crime.
Her arrest was absolutely warranted. Her statement could easily mean that she planned on opening fire on the employees. Not taking that seriously in a country where mass shootings happen almost daily is very stupid.
We also don’t have all of the facts on the case. The police don’t release all of the details of their cases before trial.
No, the investigation might have been warranted. The arrest was not. The charges were not. Conducting an investigation is “taking that seriously”, but the results of that investigation did not justify an arrest or charges.
Her right to free speech was infringed upon.
The way I can read her mind is by remembering “Presumption of innocence.”
The way you think the world works and the way the world actually works are two entirely different things. The justice system exists to punish the poor, and punish rich people who have fucked over other rich people.
Even if she wins, she would only do so from pouring hundreds of thousands of dollars on lawyer fees as this case continues as one judge reviews it, it gets appealed, and then some other judge looks at it. Over the course of years, and she’ll be rotting in prison during that time. Because you know… the $100,000 fucking bond!
97% of the time, they take the plea deal, anyway.
What fucking hellscape are we living in? Even referencing the strategy of billion dollar insurance companies gets you arrested? I’m literally at my limit with how insane this has gotten.
She followed it by saying, “you people are next.” that’s the problem. The title buried the lead.
She was referencing words etched onto bullets that killed a healthcare CEO.
No shit, that’s her first amendment right.
The first amendment does not mean you can say anything you like, despite what people like to make of it.
Why was her claim denied? Guys? WHY WAS HER CLAIM DENIED?
I hear “self defense”
Somebody ought to rally like a million people to all call their insurance company on the same day and just say delay, deny, depose. If so many people do it, and they try to arrest everybody, they would be absolutely overwhelmed.
The people working the phone lines are paycheck to paycheck and just trying to get by like the rest of us. I highly doubt they deserve that.
Careful tempting the state into violence - you might be surprised to the depths they’re willing to sink to and for how little. Nixon had the state guard execute peaceful student protesters - American kids!
If you haven’t heard about America’s own “Tiananmen square” before, here’s the link - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kent_State_shootings
And then people wonder why state regimes get toppled.
No, see, everyone is misunderstanding. She was threatening to commit mass murder by starting her own health insurance company and using the tried and true Delay, Deny, Depose method of profiting from murder.
