Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

~~According to the Polk County Sheriff website, she's been released without charges.🤞~~

The website is wrong. rage-cry

She'll have an arrest record now for that. That will stick with her. My wife was wrongfully arrested here in Florida and it sucks. The process to get it expunged is a pain in the ass. It costs you money. It takes FOREVER. You can only do it one time in your entire life here, no exceptions. She'll have to explain every single time she gets an apartment, a new job, the whole deal. It will suck.

Whew. Good. It's still messed up that she was ever in trouble for it

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 week ago

Ya, 100%, but also not surprising.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

check thread for updates she's still getting railroaded

makima-think Hmmm...right, THAT’S terrorism. But putting 2 million people inside a huge ass ghetto and bombing them for over a year straight is somehow not. The liberal world truly is a miraculous place filled with endless wonders.

You can also write incel manifestos about killing every PoC and enslaving women then threaten to shoot up an elementary school but apparently that's fine because we have plenty of thoughts and prayers to hand out any time it happens.

The Feds have more important problems to deal with, like imprisoning people who make frustrated comments at insurance companies or who sabotage weapons factories supplying an ongoing genocide.

please change the post header. she's being charged, but hasn't been convicted or sentenced, yet. the maximum sentence she faces is 15 years, as i understand it, but she hasn't been "given" that.

If I were a lawyer I'd take all the Fox News clips of anchors and congressmen saying people should mow down peaceful protestors because they block traffic.

porky-happy: “Don’t be silly, free speech only applies to the ‘right’ people!”

That is like a 'hey, don't do that' level of "crime". That's not an actionable threat, it's barely even a threat. Agreeing with the shooter doesn't mean you're also going to shoot a ceo. It's not illegal to want someone dead and express that sentiment.

It’s equivalent to telling an employee “I hope someone burns this place to the ground” which is absolutely legal

[–] [email protected] 28 points 1 week ago (1 children)

She's also a mother, I feel for those kids, what a joke this country is.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 days ago

The only silver lining is those three kids now have the coolest, most badass mother in the entire school system.

In case anyone was curious about the state of local journalism in this country, my friend works at a local news station in the area of this and sent me this text about it

some of the reporters are saying “you can’t yell fire in a crowded theater” in reference to the briana boston story

Which is one of the dumbest fucking things I’ve ever heard and is so very not relevant here. That doesn’t apply at all.

A more realistic comparison would be telling a worker at the theater “I hope someone burns this place to the ground” which is 100% legal, protected speech. As was what Briana Boston said.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 days ago

Thing about yelling "fire" in a crowded theater is that it was first used in WWI as an argument for why people shouldn't be allowed to criticize the government.

I don't really know what to say other than that this pisses me the fuck off. I know i've said shit like this in the past and i know lots of people who've said shit like this. They're making her an example

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 week ago

The judge even says it openly!

A judge set her bond at $100,000, stating, “I do find that the bond of $100,000 is appropriate considering the status of our country at this point.”

That’s not a valid reason to set someone’s bail! You’re supposed to set bail based solely on “Are they likely to show up to court and are they likely to commit another crime”

Judge said “My friends at the last eyes wide shut party told me they were feeling very uncomfortable so now you get to be an example”

Why is she getting punished for quoting insurance company process.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 week ago

Can’t stand how EASILY OFFENDED people are these days! Can’t they just take a joke?
