As much as I celebrate an idiot getting what's coming to them, I can't support these types of arrests. 10 years ago there is no way someone would get arrested for making a comment like that. I don't like where this shit is going.

Honest question, was it really all that idiotic?

Was she making a threat or making them aware of a threat? I mean it reads like all she did was pointing out how it's trendy to assassinate health care CEOs and how they should adapt their policy.

Anyway she won't be convicted because she's not a cis white male.

Convicted of what? Speech?

Yeah, it'll be "terroristic threats" or some bullshit like that.

So what’s the lesson learned? Just do the act you’ll get the same sentence?

[ - ] BloodyComet 0 points 6 monthsDec 14, 2024 12:31:55 ago (+0/-0)

Don't imply that you're going to murder people, and this won't happen to you. She said "You people are next." after dropping the phrase the assassin is famous for. She probably could've gotten away with everything up until she said that, because a reasonable person would infer from her words that "You people are next [to be assassinated for denying me coverage]."

Free speech either way

I know, I know, but that's not how the court is going to see it.

Boston is charged with one count "Written Threat to Kill or Injure- Conduct a mass shooting or an act of terrorism."

She's a terrorist now.

No. Not typically, but in our current gay timeline, I'd say it's not the brightest. I am a free speech absolutist though, so I think she should be able to say whatever the fuck she wants.

She also said, "You people are next", which is probably why she got arrested.

Yes, that's a pretty direct threat after using the three Ds.

I feel bad for this woman, because she's a victim of United Healthcare. I wonder how much of her money she spent on UH only to be denied coverage when she finally needed it? This atrocious abuse of people's health needs to come to an end, EVERYONE agrees on this, that's why "both sides" are celebrating the shooting death of the CEO. We've all been made victims by people like him.

It's highly unlikely a woman would shoot a healthcare executive.

So what if she used the phrase, it's a book title.

Why don't they find Epstein's client list?

Did anybody read the latest manifesto? Is it a page turner?

[ - ] BloodyComet 0 points 6 monthsDec 14, 2024 11:20:14 ago (+0/-0)

It's not the book title, though. The shooter tweaked it to be a DDD statement AGAINST insurance companies.

She specifically used the three words that the assassin used, and then her biggest mistake was adding "You people are next", because that elevates to a direct threat. It's still ridiculous to arrest her over this, you'd think most people would understand a frustrated, angered outburst after she got the news that she did.

Right, it had to be non-specific, and more than a year from now to be kosher

Like tossing politicians into volcanoes annually.

Based!

No way this sticks. That is not a threat. Threats have more information than that. She probably meant that they would be the next to have a book written about their practices.

Reasonable doubt. She never mentioned violence. Never mentioned a time or place or anything like that. It’s too open to speculation. Good luck finding a jury willing to convict on that, then she can sue the local government for first and fourth amendment violations.

"You people are next." That was her mistake.

[ - ] JudyStroyer 1 point 6 monthsDec 14, 2024 19:55:25 ago (+1/-0)

To have a book written about them?

DDD!
