Threatening the hospital that was denying my father care, leaving him to die, was the only way I got into the literal board room to reason with them. I got them to resume treatment after they dicked around for a month and he refused to leave because he was going to die if he left.

He still died because he was so sick at that point that they couldn’t do the procedure he needed when he first arrived.

So I threatened them in 2010, and I’d fucking do it again now for my child. We are supposed to stand up for our loved ones.

It's disgusting. There needs to be legal recognition of all that is at stake for patients and their families. The denial of necessary care is structural violence and should be treated as such by everyone.

So, no free speech in the US after all?

Free speech doesn't conver threats.

I imagine the "Delay, Deny, Depose" didn't get her in trouble nearly as much as the "You people are next" part. Yeah, that's a bit hostile there.

[–] gAlienLifeform@lemmy.world 282 points 1 week ago (8 children)

Please, marginalized people get more explicitly threatening crap said to them all the time and people rarely get arrested or charged for that. She's being charged because the system wants to make an example out of her. The judge basically said so himself at the bail hearing,

"I do find that the bond of $100,000 is appropriate considering the status of our country at this point," the judge said.

[–] ArtieShaw@fedia.io 67 points 1 week ago

Ouch. "This place is a shit show," the judge said. (Not really, just fixed it for him).

I've met victims of domestic violence who were threatened much worse than "you guys are next" so I'm not buying this as anything other than the system trying to use her as an example.

After being charged with threats to conduct a mass shooting or an act of terrorism, a judge set Boston's bond at $100,000.

"I do find that the bond of $100,000 is appropriate considering the status of our country at this point," the judge said.

Looks like a lot of us are going to jail over the next 4 years.

Lol, catch phrase or actual corporate practice? Because quoting a company memo to said company is apparently a threat.

I'm sure the "Free Speech" people are up in arms about this, right?
