Threatening the hospital that was denying my father care, leaving him to die, was the only way I got into the literal board room to reason with them. I got them to resume treatment after they dicked around for a month and he refused to leave because he was going to die if he left.

He still died because he was so sick at that point that they couldn’t do the procedure he needed when he first arrived.

So I threatened them in 2010, and I’d fucking do it again now for my child. We are supposed to stand up for our loved ones.

So, no free speech in the US after all?

She said "Delay, Deny, Depose. You people are next," according to the article.

I imagine the "Delay, Deny, Depose" didn't get her in trouble nearly as much as the "You people are next" part. Yeah, that's a bit hostile there.

Proof that the justice system only serves the wealthy.

Remember this the next time the cops tell someone they can’t do anything about a stalker or angry ex threatening to kill them until they actually act. They can do something. They choose not to.

Per the GoFundMe, she was released and charges dropped:

Hi everyone, it looks like the county released Briana with no charges, so I stopped the campaign. See here: https://www.polksheriff.org/inmate-profile/2435323 I am looking how to run a gazillion of reimbursements on this platform.

After being charged with threats to conduct a mass shooting or an act of terrorism, a judge set Boston's bond at $100,000.

"I do find that the bond of $100,000 is appropriate considering the status of our country at this point," the judge said.

"You people are next" does seem pretty threat-ish, however:

After being charged with threats to conduct a mass shooting or an act of terrorism, a judge set Boston's bond at $100,000.

That is completely out of touch with what happened. "You people are next" not an act of terrorism.

Delay, deny, and depose the FBI. The FBI isn't acting like this during a Trump presidency, this is the most lenient it gets at, during a democratic presidency. With a Trump presidency, Americans should familiarize themselves with current Russian society to know what they should expect for its future. Fuck your messed up police state, Americans, and fuck a constitution that only seems to be propaganda bullshit that is too much for the FBI to live by.

Remember folks, the company reps you interact with are generally not the ones making the rules they are paid to abide by. They're working for a living, just like us.

With that, calling this an "act of terrorism" is an incredulous overreaction that just goes to show how badly they're shitting their pants right now.

Regardless whether you support her general conduct, I think we can all rally around one tenet here:

Don't harass a shitty company's T1 support out of priciples against the company in general.They're in no better position to effect change in the system than you are. They exist only to be slightly more competent phone robots, turning your whiney noise into itemized actions, and filter those actions down to a restricted subset of system commands the company permits them to do.

If anything, they're on our level of the totem pole. Any outrage directed at them for actions of their broader company are a gross misdirection and wholly counterproductive.

I don't know who this lady was speaking to on the phone. But if it was some minimum wage phone bank slave who is just the ablative frontline of the customer support hotline, I don't support her threat in that context.

The first amendment to the Constitution of the United States does not protect speech that threatens or incites violence.

What about free speach?

This will definitely ease tensions among the masses and rouse support for the Healthcare execs lmao

I don't know about insurance but I worked once alongside a Google call center DB team, for adwords and they received lots of messages like these over inbound AND outbound calls, emails or chats.

Google is EXTREMELY strict with threats issued to their own employees, even third party contractors, to the point they would ABSOLUTELY and without chance of appeals blacklist people like this person.

To dimension the sheer scale of being blacklisted by Google, that means that every IP address they ever registered you using, be it by VPN or whatever, gets thrown in a black hole you can never escape

Google services or accounts you linked using those IPs? Fucked forever.

If you were part of the unlucky people who get a static IP set, get ready to start a lengthy process just to remove your account from being associated to that one.

Marketing manager accounts? Screwed for life. Might as well say goodbye to your job and consider never advertising through adwords again.

And I'm not even touching what happens with devices, payment processors, YouTube, educative domains and, worst of all, corporate compute instances.

If Google didn't destroy you in those cases, your company and your bank certainly will.

So yeah, if Google takes that shit seriously, you bet a healthcare provider will do the same
