No, the executives, BoD and major investors do.
No
Betteridge’s Law of Headlines. Any headline that ends in a question mark can be answered by the word “No.”

No need to scroll further, folks.
Of course not, but they’re going to make an example out of her to deter the rest of the proles.
Except that’s not how that works. She’s going to be a martyr instead.
There is zero chance anyone in a power position in the US can grasp these terms and their real life ramifications.
Unfortunately that’s my conclusion as well. They’ll do this and congratulate themselves on teaching those poors a lesson. In better language I’m sure but that’s the core meaning. And while they’re doing that the “poors” are going to be making protest signs, at the very least.
This reminds me of Minority Report. Arrested by the pre-crime unit.
Guilty without the crime actually being committed.
If her crime is threatening then that actually is what she did, in the past.
The punishment of 15 years is just way over the top
That’s not what she did. There are legal standards for what constitutes a threat, and what she said isn’t one.
She was released and all charges dropped. This was a silly farce by the judge and prosecutors from the jump
I don’t think that’s right. She’s been released on bond to house arrest; the charges still stand.
She absolutely does not deserve that. Isn’t America the home of free speech? I guess not for the plebs!
Where is her free speech?
They are going to argue it’s not protected under the true threat doctrine.
Free speech is for nazis, as far as I can tell
In the freezer, next to the peaches.
Ah, so basically next to the freeze peach; got it :)
The US justice system is f’ed up.
We should erect a giant bronze statue of Luigi. Put it in a road right near UHC’s headquarters in Minnesota. Make them all drive past it each and every day on the way to work.
Sure, but the balls should be made with steel
It worked for that bullgirl in NYC, didn’t it? Let’s make it happen.
On the other hand when women complain about threats from stalkers the police do nothing. You might as well delete the word justice from this criminal justice system.
The system is definitely criminal alright
Prosecutors throw the book at people, sentences get reduced by dropping things, aclu better get on this and keep her from getting a stupid plea deal, and fight for free speech
Yeah, it’s hard to judge how people ought to respond to plea deals, but 15 years is long enough where she doesn’t have much incentive to take one unless it’s for time served or probation or something tiny like that.
Because her alternative is to go into court and play all the audio and then let the jury imagine what they would do if they were getting f***** over, and let them remember all the times they’ve said things that are definitely not threats, but someone else could be an a****** and erroneously construe them as such. And you’re always taking a gamble when you go to a jury trial, but that’s not a bad gamble to take.
She’s a scapegoat. They arrested her to make a public example of her. Fuck those bastards, set her free.
Long live freedom of speech!
It’s called wrong thinking from the book 1984
She would have never been able to be charged before the patriot act. No weapons, no capacity to act on them, vague and unspecific. Its crazy how our freedoms have been eroded and how many folks seem to think thats just fine and dandy.
IMO the 2000 election, 9/11 and the response to it (patriot act, endless war) were the turning point of this country going to shit. I tried to warn all my friends and family but I was young, they didn’t get it or take me seriously.
It does not surprise me that they’re gonna use the patriot act to throw the book at her. Seems appropriate. People have finally woken up, realized their politicians and government don’t represent them, change has been promised for decades as conditions have worsened for most, and people are fed up. If a well off rich tech bro who could of inherited the family business and never have to worry about failing like the rest of us, if he could throw it all away to make a point by killing the CEO of UHC who he didn’t even have health insurance at any point and seemed to be targeted for its stats as the worst, if he got this mad and threw it all away for the cause, what does that say about the rest of us?! There’s millions more who have an even bigger axe to grind than he did and less to lose to make their points, so to speak.
I bet the security state is gonna clamp down hard, we can’t have capitalism threatened! I wonder if all this drone news is a false flag to get the public to accept 24/7 drone surveillance.

Indeed, when George unleashed that shit, Patriot Act, I told everyone we are one step closer to forming the SS or NKVD. Once again, we have Mango Mussolini with his merry band of racist thugs.
I have not liked it since the get go and fought it. Ugh I have these emails to a dem senator with have who came out of the military who is pretty good but to entrenched in the mindset. Still I never really felt it till this arrest. Chilling as fuck.
I’ll never understand how people are ok with limiting other people’s freedom based on “what if”.
