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.

    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.

    Delay, Deny, Depose. You people are next.

    Probably the last sentence

    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.

    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.

    Her words after this were "you people are next"

    Kinda gives her less leeway here

    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.
