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?

A Health Insurance company denies your medical claims threatening your health and your life = good business

A frustrated house wife who can't afford health care threatens a billion dollar corporation = jail

The best take I've seen on this:

Who did she threaten? A spefic person? A group? What makes the judge think this was a credible threat?

And this is supposed to make her less likely to want to kill them? Lol

This is kinda proving the lady's point isn't it?

Funny how fast and hard the state reacts if someone has something against the rich.

they will try to make an example of her hoping they will subdue people into obedience by fear

Suspected killer. Even the BBC is towing the line.

I googled the latest news on her (my mistake, right?).

There isn’t anything newer than 24 hours old. I guess they are making her sit in jail over the weekend?

Does anyone have any better info sources? I don’t think we should let this disappear.

Once again, don't fuck with rich people! They don't like it when you point out their scam.

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.

Does she have a GoFundMe? I'd like to buy her a green jacket

The very example of corporate power the shooter killed someone over. You are powerless, stay in your place “Coppertop.”

Every other outlet I've seen hasn't mentioned "you people are next", the lede couldn't get more buried.

Hmm the company is violating her human rights and endangering her life, they are the ones who should be in front of the judge

A boring dystopia.

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!

Gotta tap down those unruly peons before the rest get uppity.

I'd love to know what she was denied. While I'm guessing it's regular bullshit if it was something serious then it's the health insurance company that is threatening her and doing her harm.

But this is fucking stupid. That judge should have to spend the same amount of time in jail as she ends up doing and she should sue. She should be charged with uttering threats or whatever, but there is ZERO reason she should be stuck with $100,000 bail. She is not a threat, even IF (big if) she did make one.

Without knowing more, it is the “you people are next” that makes this a threat in particular. You should easily be able to say deny defend or depose or whatever, just don’t use threats

Rules for thee but not for me rule.
