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.
  
  Time will tell
  
  Weelll, lets say history tells it already.
  
  I think it will backfire on them. I think "the elites" have lost control of the situation, and efforts like this are just throwing fuel on the fire.
- More likely, she'll get a 100k settlement for the violation of her first amendment rights.
  
  If she does… I know what I’m gonna be screaming 24/7
  
  She won't since her next words were, "You're next."
- Too many people support the attractive suspect, find some loud lower class woman to use instead!!!
- She's lucky. They could have sent Israel after her for those hamas-level terrorist threats.
First amendment violation. I hope she sues the shit out of them.
- Facebook up, delete a gym, hit a lawyer.
- 1A doesn't cover threats of violence.
  
  Unless there was an actual threat (I'm lazy I can't be bothered to read the article. That's why I'm in the comments) , deny delay depose isn't a threat in any way. It's a tactic that insurance agents use to boost profits. Saying that is merely showing your disgust with the practice.
  
  What threat?
  
  In what way did she threaten violence
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.
- She followed it by saying, "you people are next." that's the problem. The title buried the lead.
- She was referencing words etched onto bullets that killed a healthcare CEO.
  
  No shit, that's her first amendment right.
[she] was charged with threats to conduct a mass shooting or an act of terrorism

How
- Delay, Deny, Depose. You people are next.
  
  Probably the last sentence
  
  She doesn't even own a gun and seems to pose little tangible threat, yet they're claiming intent to commit mass murder or terrorism. Its a ridiculous stretch from that little comment
  
  Her last sentence was a prediction, not a threat.
  
  The woman just means that the people she was talking to will be screwed over by insurance too.
  
  She was saying we’re all in this together, basically!
Why was her claim denied? Guys? WHY WAS HER CLAIM DENIED?
- I hear “self defense”
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.
- Oh, this is fine then. Charges dismissed!
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.
- Careful tempting the state into violence - you might be surprised to the depths they're willing to sink to and for how little. Nixon had the state guard execute peaceful student protesters - American kids!
  
  If you haven't heard about America's own "Tiananmen square" before, here's the link - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kent_State_shootings
  
  And then people wonder why state regimes get toppled.
- The people working the phone lines are paycheck to paycheck and just trying to get by like the rest of us. I highly doubt they deserve that.
The judge is going to create the exact effect they're trying to avoid with that $100,000 bond!
Make sure to give Luigi a few bucks. It’s over $70,000

Her words after this were "you people are next"

Kinda gives her less leeway here
- I don't think so tbh, at least for me personally. People in power have said way worse things
  
  The difference is .. people in power said those things.
  
  Some animals are created more equal than others.
- 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.
I don't care about THIS Parent! I ONLY care about RICH Parents like Brian Thompson!
