After being charged with threats to conduct a mass shooting or an act of terrorism, a judge set Boston's bond at $100,000.

"I do find that the bond of $100,000 is appropriate considering the status of our country at this point," the judge said.

I love living in a country that takes mass shootings and terrorism seriously!

Love there is no pretext of justice in that judge’s statement. Just straight up saying “some people at the last eyes wide shut party were really uncomfortable so you must pay”

Finally something both Republican and Democratic congresspeople can agree on.

Don’t we love common law folks? Don’t we love being ruled by Judge Kings?

Basically every mass shooter is "known to authorities" or "on their radar" and they don't do shit.

Someone who doesn't even own a gun says something they decide is threatening? Time to throw the book at her!

I swear the media trying to treat this with the same severity as a mass shooting (if anything they're treating it more serious than a mass shooting. No news outlet had a talking head wearing a 3d printed 9mm pin offering thoughts and prayers) is making me lose my mind. The media is basically trying to say Luigi gives mass shooter vibes. There's a reason there has been efforts to remove pictures of him, take down posts of his statement, and generally trying to frame him in the same vein as a school shooter.

Also more proof (as if we needed it) that the bail bond system is solely in place to keep poor people in jail and rich people out.

i absolutely think they are going to roll out the same viciousness they used to defend the zionist entity if this nascent class disturbance keeps going

[–] FALGSConaut@hexbear.net 24 points 1 week ago

Absolutely, you can already see it starting with various outlets rolling out articles on how the CEO was good actually and people like being screwed by health insurance. I have no doubt that they will crack down hard on people supporting Luigi or his actions.

It's not like she found an executive's number or went to an office, she literally just got mad at a service rep over the phone. If someone actually attempts/succeeds in a copycat assassination the response is going to be 1000x worse

a judge

Which judge? Can we find out his name? I'm just asking questions yamagami

[–] FunkyStuff@hexbear.net 123 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Headline is incorrect. There's no evidence that's the suspect's catchphrase. That's what the perpetrator wrote. Assuming that that's also the suspect's catchphrase is assuming he's guilty. I don't think this qualifies for libel but yet another example of useless journalism.

That's not even his catchphrase anyway. It's "another day, another play." This is anti-italian-discrimination

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 34 points 1 week ago (15 children)

I've found it a bit weird how quickly people accepted that the guy they arrested must have been the shooter because they arrested him.

the casings found at the next CEO crime scene will be engraved Exculpate, Exonerate, Excuse

Weird I thought there was free speech in America

[–] BeamBrain@hexbear.net 80 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I've known there wasn't for a while, but I didn't feel the visceral reality of it 'til I started doing pro-Palestine activism

[–] KurtVonnegut@hexbear.net 58 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Gentle reminder that you can't hold a public sector job in Texas unless you pledge to uphold Zionism. "Land of the free" by the way.

Police concluded that she intended to use "the UnitedHealthcare CEO's homicide to her advantage."

Who does she think she is, one of the two political parties justifying bombing and invading another country?

I like how everything is considered threats of terrorism amerikkka-clap

[–] carpoftruth@hexbear.net 56 points 1 week ago (1 children)

it's because of the implication

[–] cosecantphi@hexbear.net 49 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Which is weird because they didn't even charge the person they suspect of coming up with the catchphrase with terrorism, they charged him with second degree murder.

How is it a threat of terrorism to refer to a crime that was not considered terrorism?

[–] Justice@lemmygrad.ml 18 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Wait I've been busy... they only charged him with second degree? Not first? That seems kinda hilariously cowardly by NYC. Surely they aren't scared a jury won't convict for first degree?

but if she called them a racial slur she'd be perfectly fine

[–] jackmarxist@hexbear.net 54 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

She can literally shout "I'm Adolf Hitler" and threaten to kill minorities and she'll be fine.

[–] carpoftruth@hexbear.net 62 points 1 week ago

she did things in the wrong order. first you do things and then you do the catchphrase, not the other way around

[–] TavMac@hexbear.net 62 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I would really like to believe that it was her adding, "You people are next," that got her in to trouble. Otherwise, I find it troubling to get in to trouble by telling someone their own slogan.

It would be like going to jail for sitting through a Mets game, watching them lose, and then saying, "Lets go Mets," only to then be arrested.

[–] hexaflexagonbear@hexbear.net 83 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Let’s be real, she got in trouble because there were orders from above that they need to find a case like this to prosecute. There’s no way that the frontline support staff of health insurance companies don’t hear dozens of death threats a day.

Well, congrats to this lady because she just got probably at least a million dollar auto-win suit against the police or city for false arrest and the company for lying to get her arrested. There is no way in Jebus's holy asshole that saying those words can be taken as a legally actionable threat. Hopefully she's talking to one of the big defamation lawyers like the one who got Alex Jones and is currently digging inside Elon's ass. There's another digging in Crowder's ass too. One of them would probably love to sue a health insurance corporation right now especially over some easy win shit like this. Just really drag their asses publicly. Or get a fat settlement. Whatever.

at least a million dollar auto-win suit

Still won't cover her medical bills.

[–] Runcible@hexbear.net 38 points 1 week ago (2 children)

It is interesting to see this here, I'm used to seeing everyone being to jaded to believe in the rule of law. I think pretty much everyone I am used to interacting with believes that it is purely a downward pressure

[–] context@hexbear.net 19 points 1 week ago (1 children)

if she ends up getting a settlment it'll be a tiny drop compared to industry profits. round-off errors like that are acceptable losses if it maintains the pretense of a system that's essentially benign for everyone.

No your honor, I was just trying to get the insurance company officials to read the book "Delay Deny Defend" and just blanked on the correct title, silly me

[–] Sickos@hexbear.net 38 points 1 week ago

Maybe this can also be a lesson to America that actions are louder than words.
