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.
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.
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.

More likely, she'll get a 100k settlement for the violation of her first amendment rights.
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.

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] 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.
You'd only think it was a credible threat if your system was so fucked up the powder keg was lit

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!
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.
Oh, this is fine then. Charges dismissed!
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.
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.

The judge is going to create the exact effect they're trying to avoid with that $100,000 bond!
Make sure to give Luigi a few bucks. It’s over $70,000
Her words after this were "you people are next"
Kinda gives her less leeway here
I don't think so tbh, at least for me personally. People in power have said way worse things
The difference is .. people in power said those things.
Some animals are created more equal than others.
That's a prediction.
It is by no means illegal to predict the likelihood of a copycat with the same motives as the original.
And unless you can conclusively prove her intent to commit harm, you can only investigate. You can't arrest or charge her without violating her right to free speech.
Her prediction is entirely plausible. The general public is completely pissed at the entire industry over this kind of behavior.
I don't care about THIS Parent! I ONLY care about RICH Parents like Brian Thompson!
