    Yes, she made an explicit threat towards people on a recorded zoom call.

      She told them that they were next. That is not a threat. That is a prediction.

      She walked right up to the line, but the reports of her actions do not indicate she crossed it.

      “Luigi Mangione allegedly killed your competitor’s CEO over behavior just like this. Keep this up, and some copycat is going to do the same to you.”

      That’s not a threat. That is an observation; a prediction. That is protected speech. And that is a perfectly reasonable interpretation of the words she is reported to have spoken.

      People get death threats for the most silly things these days, in all sorts of ways, and nobody is going to get fined. This is all BS.

      Take the families who were harassed by Alex Jones for example, they got heaps of death threats and no one was fined for it.

          The ones they could get they did, like the stalker for the one family that hired private security. The majority of threats were online and anymonymous.

        Most people do not get the death threats on camera, and then have the person admit to the police they made the threat like the woman did.

        The Alex Jones related threats were in fact anonymously made making it incredibly hard to verify and convict. Jones was also ordered to pay almost a billion dollars for making the original claims and spurring on the threats.
