$100k bond.
They’re gonna destroy this woman because they’re fucking her over and she dared to imply she could fight back.
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…
There is no possible way that can meet the true threat standard. Unfortunately, the cops will face zero consequences for violating her first amendment rights.
This is one of those post 9/11 things that really fucked over countless people. I used to work with the homeless and inconsistently homed and the amount of times those people were taken in for “terroristic threats” was obscene
It depends on the state but generally the laws were hastily passed post 9/11 and give the cops free rein to jail you for saying anything vaguely threatening.
Thanks! I have new words and knowledge!
My man… They ruined this woman’s life show.
Her 1a is like the least of her worries, but yeah rest of us should be a learning a lesson when speaking with your corpo handler. Police will fuck you if you lose temper…
This is what corpo tyranny would like and here we are.
Enjoy plebs 🤡
Judge, it was a judge that made that decision. You know , someone that has way more education with an actual degree in law.
Thank goodness we have a fair and balanced court system, especially the totally unbiased Supreme Court.
That’s because the headline left out the very next sentence she said, “You’re next”
Combined, with the fact that it was recorded, it’s a very clear threat. The rest of the way it was handled is pure BS, but there is no denying that what she said was a threat.
“I was being sarcastic” surely could be the defensible response… right… right?!/s
Im not sure that applies with the patriot act. The charged her with threatening terrorism.
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.
“She’s been in this world long enough that she certainly should know better that you can’t make threats like that in the current environment that we live in and think that we’re not going to follow up and put you in jail,” said Lakeland Police Chief Sam Taylor.
Land of the free (as long as you don’t say the three No-No words), home of the brave (we will arrest the brave).
As if the vibe determines how much free speech you get on any given day
Going forward you watch how you talk to your insurance commisar!
And you should be grateful for the opportunity to pay for health insurance!
Sorry, the metrics which with we use to evaluate what constitutes as “free speech” is a trade secret
The fact that this happened is way more frightening than any statement she could have made.
Yeah, making statements online that aren’t explicitly intended at harm is just enforcing the thought police. That’s kind of scary.
To the “feds”, you are here to “respect”
Before change can happen the people have to want it.
Keep saying it.
KEEP SAYING IT.
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
is that the sound of 3d printers firing up all across the USA?
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.
Or better yet, have a million people say “cancel my policy” on the same day. Or 330 million.
