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

[-] [email protected] 24 points 5 months 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

[-] [email protected] 123 points 5 months ago

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.

[-] [email protected] 40 points 5 months ago

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

[-] [email protected] 34 points 5 months ago

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.

Weird I thought there was free speech in America

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

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?

[-] [email protected] 73 points 5 months ago

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

[-] [email protected] 54 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

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

[-] [email protected] 62 points 5 months ago

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.

[-] [email protected] 83 points 5 months ago

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.

[-] [email protected] 62 points 5 months ago

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

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.

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

[-] [email protected] 19 points 5 months ago

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 different then hush money yeah, they can afford it like paying a fine for the child slavery

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
