    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.

      Too many people support the attractive suspect, find some loud lower class woman to use instead!!!

          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

              Mass shootings are almost a daily occurrence in the US. Why wouldn’t you take the threat seriously?

              If this person had actually shot up a call center and the FBI was found to have said, “Eh, they probably didn’t mean it that way,” people would be equally as outraged.

                There’s a difference between investigating a possible threat, and attempting to prosecute. I suggest you learn it.

        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.

    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.

        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.
