She definitely got a little too heated in the moment at the end (she said "we'll see you at your house, we'll murder you"), so just a heads up, the system loves to see this shit and crack down on it. (Even though elected officials can literally call for genocide and all sorts of violence on the marginalized and it's all good).

From the article:

Who is Riddhi Patel?

Riddhi Patel, 28, a pro-Palestine protestor, is accused of 16 felony counts and booked into jail on suspicion of eight counts of intending to terrorize with the threats, and the rest of eight counts of threatening city officials during her speech.

Patel’s contentious remarks directly threatened the council, stating, “You guys want to criminalize us with metal detectors,” followed by, “We’ll see you at your house. We’ll murder you.” She further escalated her rhetoric speech: “I hope one day somebody brings the guillotine and kills all of you motherf******.”

Yeah don't make threats. For one, it's bad opsec to let a target know you're coming. For two, it's a crime and it's an extra spicy crime when you do it to electeds. Like the courts have even figured out what "in minecraft" means.

Oh yeah? I'm gonna build a house in "minecraft".

Let's see if they can figure this one out

They're dumb, arrogant, vengeful, and cruel. People do get arrested and convicted bc courts interpret something they said both in bad faith and in an absolutely baffling way.

Number 2: never let em know your next move- don't you know bad boys move in silence and violence?

we see you at your house, we'll murder you

Do not say this online either. That's still an actionable threat.

There is no benefit to publicly saying this shit online or in person. Whether there's benefit to doing the shit being described is a question on which I won't comment. The value of only saying it without doing it is entirely negative.

[allegedly] stating, “You guys want to criminalize us with metal detectors,” followed by, “We’ll see you at your house. We’ll murder you.”

you make a joke and the whole world is trying to cancel you. we used to laugh about Reagan getting stabbed and now talking during a convention gets you sent to jail?

what's next? i need a license to make toast in my own damn toaster?

she said "we'll see you at your house, we'll murder you"

my rhetoric, which may or may not be threatening in nature, may or may not be more subtle and obscure, so even if it were to leak into real life, it may or may not make sense.

Based on what I've seen, I'm glad the local police department took in this thug. Hopefully she is calling Benjamin Netanyahu, who I have been writing in for President since 2000, to apologize

when people come this dangerously close to doing something cool the system is incentivized to torture them to the utmost in order to dissuade others from following suit

one of many reasons to avoid advertising your intent

16 counts? For talking about Minecraft?

Is there a GoFundMe going for her bail yet?

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 month ago

waow-based I sure hope there isnt any one planning on following through with the threats issued.

Nobody on the city council will ~~be intimidated to~~ action.
