    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.

        Well, she actually said “Delay, Deny, Depose. You people are next,”

        That’s a pretty direct threat. The headline is misleading.

          That’s worth 100k bond? Really? That’s more than voluntary manslaughter.

            I don’t think so, no. Context is everything though. Before the assassination, just free speech, after, a threat of significant violence.

            Also, free Luigi!

              I suppose so, but the thought process of just jailing any verbal dissent… how long can, a healthcare system of all things, run on fear?

                Well, it’s not just any dissent, it a threat of violence. If she didn’t say, “you’re next” I’d be agreeing with most of the people in this thread.

                Whoever posted this left that part out of the post. I wonder why.

          Pointing out that what someone is doing puts a target on their back isn’t necessarily you threatening them.

          Where is the actual threat? You people are next, to get delayed, denied, or deposed.

        It’s because she said they’re next, and it was recorded. Threats aren’t protected speech.

      For responding with the catchphrase insurance companies themselves created and live by. This isn’t the suspect’s catchphrase, but apparently even uttering these words back at health insurance companies is too much for them.

        Well, “depose” isn’t pat of it. The killer added that part.

            You said:

            the catchphrase insurance companies themselves created and live by.

            And I just said she added the part that the killer added too - depose.

            You mean basically the same sort of vague threat Trump has thrown around for decades that no one does anything about when it isn’t directed at the rich, just at society in general?

              This discussion has nothing to do with Trump. But, Trump should absolutely be in prison for his threats.

          Correct, but the best way to deal with a moron talking in dog whistles is to ask what they mean by that and play dumb till they say the quiet part aloud.
