She was arrested for making a threat to carry out a mass shooting. She admitted in court that she made the statement purposely to reference the recent UnitedHealthcare shooting. The judge set her bail at $100,000.
Now here come the Internet legal experts, who are claiming that the bail amount is excessive, that she can’t be arrested for threatening to kill a corporation because it isn’t a person, and that her statement wasn’t a real threat because she doesn’t own any guns.
They are all wrong, and this chick is rightfully going to jail. If I called up a school and said “Remember Columbine? You guys are next.” I would go to jail, and I would deserve it.
Don’t be an asshole.
The specific charge will likely change, because the statute listed is for written or electronic threats that are not phone calls. This isn’t going to be reduced to a misdemeanor, though.
Here is President Biden’s statement on the pardon he issued for his son.
You hear that? The President of the United States, who at the time was a Democrat, says that gun laws are not being enforced. Lying on a 4473 is not a real crime, according to the left.
More on the critter who randomly fired into a crowd celebrating Halloween in Orlando: He had a felony record for grand theft auto from last December. There is a record of him attending elementary and middle school, but no record of high school, meaning that he was a dropout. We don’t have much else to go on, because juvenile records are sealed in Florida.
This is an example of the absolute waste of DNA that has become a large segment of our nation. I am reminded of the quote from Heinlein’s Starship Troopers, comparing raising children to housebreaking dogs:
“Mr. Dubois, you have to! You scold him so that he knows he’s in trouble, you rub his nose in it so that he will know what trouble you mean, you paddle him so that he darn well won’t do it again — and you have to do it right away! It doesn’t do a bit of good to punish him later; you’ll just confuse him. Even so, he won’t learn from one lesson, so you watch and catch him again and paddle him still harder. Pretty soon he learns. But it’s a waste of breath just to scold him.” Then I added, “I guess you’ve never raised pups.”
These children were often caught; police arrested batches each day. Were they scolded? Yes, often scathingly. Were their noses rubbed in it? Rarely. News organs and officials usually kept their names secret – in many places the law so required for criminals under eighteen. Were they spanked? Indeed not! Many had never been spanked even as small children; there was a widespread belief that spanking, or any punishment involving pain, did a child permanent psychic damage.
These juvenile criminals hit a low level. Born with only the instinct for survival, the highest morality they achieved was a shaky loyalty to a peer group, a street gang. But the do-gooders attempted to ‘appeal to their better natures,’ to ‘reach them,’ to ‘spark their moral sense.’ Tosh! They had no ‘better natures’; experience taught them that what they were doing was the way to survive. The puppy never got his spanking; therefore what he did with pleasure and success must be ‘moral.’
Jaremy Smith at 22 years old was convicted of armed robbery and hostage taking for which he received a twelve year sentence. On December 1, 2023, he was released after serving less than 10 years and placed on Supervised release.
Less than 4 months later, on March 15, he sat on the side of the road with a flat tire. When a New Mexico state trooper stopped to offer his assistance, Smith asked for a ride into town. When the trooper agreed, Smith shot him in the back of the head, ran around to the driver’s side, shot the trooper twice more, then dumped the officer’s body on the side of the road and drove off in the stolen patrol vehicle.
The broken down car that he had been driving? The stranded vehicle turned out to be owned by a South Carolina paramedic who was found shot to death in Dillon County, South Carolina, also on March 15. She had been reported missing several days earlier.
During his arrest, Smith was shot several times, and emergency surgery was performed. Since his discharge from the hospital, he has been held in jail awaiting trial. His attorney filed a motion asking for a continuance due to Smith being in a “tremendous amount of pain.” He has also complained that they aren’t giving him anything stronger than Tylenol to treat the pain.
You know what? I don’t give a shit. He is seen on video murdering the cop. The trial should last about 20 minutes longer than it takes to play the video, then they should toss a rope over the nearest tree limb and hang his ass, just like they used to do. I am usually opposed to the death penalty because I don’t trust prosecutors to present all of the evidence, even when they know that the accused is not guilty.
He killed two people and would have killed more, if the cops hadn’t caught up to him. Fuck this guy.
What really pisses me off about this is that he was released before the end of his sentence for “good behavior.” News reports show that in 2014, Smith, then 23, escaped from the Marion County, South Carolina, jail after he and another inmate overpowered two detention officers. The inmates handcuffed one guard and beat the other. The inmates then stacked up chairs in the recreation area and one lifted the other up and over the recreation yard wall. Officials say the jail staff then called for help and EMS to treat the injured officer, and when the gates were opened for deputies and EMS to come inside, Smith ran out of the gated area. Deputies tracked and captured him about two hours later. How in the world is that good behavior?
Some people are defending the 15 year old who murdered her mother and shot her stepfather, so I wanted to outline the case for more clarity.
The girl had been using drugs and hiding that life from her mother by using burner phones. She had a very high IQ and was adept at getting away with what she was doing. Until her mother caught on.
What happened next is not in dispute, as it was caught on the home’s security cameras and cell phone messages. She got a gun and shot her mother. Afterwards, Carly asked one of her friends “Have you ever seen a dead body? My mom is in there.”
Then she sent a text to her step father from her mother’s phone that read: ““When will you be home honey?” then shot him when he walked in the door. He was fortunately able to wrestle the gun away from her before she could shoot him again. She then fled the home, and hid the security camera in the refrigerator on the way out.
During the investigation that followed, police found her journal, in which she had written things like: “You don’t need family” and “It’s okay to be evil.”
Gregg was offered a plea deal of 40 years in prison, but turned it down. Instead, her legal team pursued an insanity defense, which was unsuccessful. The court heard from psychiatrist Dr Andrew Clark, who said he believes Gregg ‘blacked out’ for up to 90 minutes on the day of the alleged offence, but also accepted that someone in Gregg’s position would have a motive to ‘fake’ a mental illness. Dr Clark told the court Gregg reported to him that she’d had ‘auditory hallucinations’ for years prior to the alleged crime, but the voices in her head had never ‘commanded’ her to do anything.
Her own psychiatrist testified that she didn’t have serious mental health issues before the killings.
However, the fact that she had tried to cover up her crimes by tampering with evidence caused the court to not believe that she was insane. (This is called evidence of guilt. In order to be considered incompetent for trial, the defense has to show that the person didn’t know that what they did was wrong. Obviously, tampering with evidence to hide the crime shows that the person knew that what they did was wrong.)
Interesting to me was the fact that she was taking Lexapro and Zoloft, which are both mood stabilizers that have been connected to other teenaged murderers and spree killers. I wonder of the drugs are causing the murderous behavior or not.
When police first began the investigation, the stepfather was the prime suspect until police took a look at the security cameras.
The defense told the jury that the murderer had suffered enough, since she was now an orphan after her mother was killed. They also tried the “not guilty by reason of insanity” that I don’t think should be a defense. You killed someone in cold blood? There is only one way to make sure that it doesn’t happen again.
On the other hand, I also don’t trust the state in death penalty cases, because I know that prosecutors lie, and cops swear to it. I hope she enjoys her time in prison.
That’s what the Muslims in Hamtramck, MI are calling themselves. The left rejoiced when they managed to get an all Muslim city commission elected in 2015. Until 2023, that is. That’s when the commissioners voted to ban the pride flag.
We supported you when you were threatened, and now our rights are threatened, and you’re the one doing the threatening.
What do you know. Muslims don’t like sexual deviants. Who knew?
