We should erect a giant bronze statue of Luigi. Put it in a road right near UHC's headquarters in Minnesota. Make them all drive past it each and every day on the way to work.
It worked for that bullgirl in NYC, didn't it? Let's make it happen.
She absolutely does not deserve that. Isn't America the home of free speech? I guess not for the plebs!
Where is her free speech?
Free speech is for nazis, as far as I can tell

It's called wrong thinking from the book 1984
She was released and all charges dropped. This was a silly farce by the judge and prosecutors from the jump
I don't think that's right. She's been released on bond to house arrest; the charges still stand.
Prosecutors throw the book at people, sentences get reduced by dropping things, aclu better get on this and keep her from getting a stupid plea deal, and fight for free speech

No, but they are going to throw the book at potential copycats to deincentivise others. First of many, I'm sure.
Free slave for the state of Florida. I mean, they might let her go in a few months, but slam that 15 years jail stay bill right on her. You really effed up on the "land of the free" over there.
That "when they came for the ..." had already happened. Years ago. Think on that. SL
Oh, I missed it it's f****** Florida. Anybody living in that state is taking their own life in their hands. No she does not deserve to have the book thrown at her but her likelihood of that happening is very high.
No, the executives, BoD and major investors do.
If Boston’s home is later found to have a bunch of disguises, a 3D-printed gun and a manifesto, I will, of course, eat my words and any hats that are available.
Those items will magically appear if needed for them to make a case.
Of course she doesn't, but the ruling class needs to make an example of someone - they're not about to let us peasants get away with defying them.
Jury Nullification is my right.
The thing about Jury Nullification is that you have to make it through the majority of a trial. 97-98% of criminal cases (in the U.S.) end in a plea deal without ever going to trial.

She won’t see a day in jail. She never threatened. What she will see is a huge payday.
