Summary
Briana Boston, 42, was charged with threatening a health insurance company after repeating words linked to the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.
During a recorded call with Blue Cross Blue Shield about a denied claim, Boston said, “Delay, deny, depose, you people are next,” echoing phrases engraved on bullet casings at Thompson’s murder scene.
Authorities allege she exploited the CEO’s homicide to make the threat.
Boston, a mother of three with no prior criminal record, was arrested and held on $100,000 bail amidst warnings of potential copycat incidents targeting healthcare executives.
The best take I’ve seen on this:
That’s literally hearsay. In this case, they had her recorded. You know, as when you call an automated line and they say they’ll record you?
The judge set her bail at $100,000, citing “the status of our country at this point”.
So the judge is holding this lady personally responsible for the nation’s sentiment towards healthcare companies?
Activist fucking judge
Almost always Conservatives being snowflakes
Once again, don’t fuck with rich people! They don’t like it when you point out their scam.
don’t [leave evidence when you] fuck with rich people
Funny how fast and hard the state reacts if someone has something against the rich.
And this is supposed to make her less likely to want to kill them? Lol
Suspected killer. Even the BBC is towing the line.
I’d argue that the word are unarguably the killer’s. After all, they were written on the bullet cases that were used to kill the guy.
Whether or not Luigi is the killer is still being decided by the courts. If they had said the words were Luigi’s, there would be an issue. But they didn’t say that; They said “CEO killer” instead, which simply attributes the words to whoever killed the dude.
Toeing the line? They’re going well beyond that. Have you read the BBC’s finger-wagging admonishment of the poors / puff piece for United Health?

It’s definitely getting worse. SwiftKey used to be great at

Who did she threaten? A spefic person? A group? What makes the judge think this was a credible threat?
I’ve been threatened multiple times in my life. They never explicitly tell me they’ll injure me, they use language like “or else”.
That’s a threat. We all know that’s a threat. Let’s not pretend otherwise. People making threats these days think they’re being clever by being indirect.
Trust me, you don’t want to be in a country where stuff like this is normalised, especially by right wingers
You’re missing my point I think. Not saying she didn’t make a threat. But WHO specifically did she threaten? Was it a specific person? Was it a group?
Group / company…
It doesn’t need to be a specific person.
Rules for thee but not for me rule.
Making threats just tells them what the plans are. Move in silence, and do what needs to be done. You wouldn’t tell (or imply to) a cop that you’re planning on robbing a store, because they would expect it and act accordingly.
STFU Fridays!
It’s better to learn anyways.
Let’s all learn about jury nullification!

Are you talking about jury nullification in the context of a crime that has not yet been committed and that crime might be a violent crime? Sounds like you are violating the newest .world ToS update.
Have an upvote.
I’m just talking about jury nullification.
Haha, thought it was at least a little relevant.
That’s why I feel comfortable threatening corporations online.
I have zero plans of doing anything, I’m just here to cheer it on.
If anyone out there has true plans to do something, shut the fuck up. Tell no one. Be like Luigi.

Gotta tap down those unruly peons before the rest get uppity.
The very example of corporate power the shooter killed someone over. You are powerless, stay in your place “Coppertop.”
Does she have a GoFundMe? I’d like to buy her a green jacket
The problem is that people up top don’t even have a concept understanding of ‘nothing to lose’ because they always had something. Money, family, opportunities, reputation, they don’t understand what it feels to truly have nothing but your body, and even then they want to take that away from you too. There’s a difference between dying alone from untreated, unmedicated cancer in your cold apartment or making your voice be heard and being throw into jail. What are court fees other than a drop in a overflowing bucket of medical dept for a terminally ill person? Terminal not by nature but by denial of proper care. The US really needs a constitutional amendment that protects basic human rights of Nourishment, Shelter, Warmth, Sleep, Health and Social Interaction from capitalistic exploitation.
Every other outlet I’ve seen hasn’t mentioned “you people are next”, the lede couldn’t get more buried.
they will try to make an example of her hoping they will subdue people into obedience by fear
