Idiot woman is in an argument with her insurance company. They deny her claim. She tells them: “Delay, Deny, Depose. You people are next.”
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.

“Don’t be an asshole.”
The world would be a much nicer place if more people made the attempt.
However … Nobody’s an asshole in their own minds, and increasingly few people seem to have the ability (or willingness) for introspection that allows one to view one’s self as others might.
