Summary

Briana Boston, 42, was charged with threatening a health insurance company after repeating words linked to the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.

During a recorded call with Blue Cross Blue Shield about a denied claim, Boston said, “Delay, deny, depose, you people are next,” echoing phrases engraved on bullet casings at Thompson’s murder scene.

Authorities allege she exploited the CEO’s homicide to make the threat.

Boston, a mother of three with no prior criminal record, was arrested and held on $100,000 bail amidst warnings of potential copycat incidents targeting healthcare executives.

    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.
