Careful, apparently a lady got charged for suggesting health insurance company might be next.
National headline and all
Also apparently the word manifesto is a bad word on Reddit now
Reddit is undergoing a serious scrab... There won't be much evidence of the genuine sentiment.
Shills are back doing politics shit.
Although they are getting called out for it for now it seems.
They will keep this up until Unity falls
To be fair, she also added "you people are next" which probably sounded more threatening than just those 3 words alone. Not that I agree with it, but thats how the authorities see it.
State has the burden of proof.
Would a reasonable person feel threatened here?

We all can see what the government is doing... Do you think they treat every customer service abuse with this zeal?
Arrests have lower threshold of proof than a conviction in court. Which is why the cops got away with doing this.
The requirement of arrest is "probable cause" and her words probably meets that definition.
In court, its "beyond a resonable doubt" which probably wouldn't be met.
She wont get convicted, they are just arresting her and charging her with crimes to scare her and make an example of her.
