$100k bond.

They're gonna destroy this woman because they're fucking her over and she dared to imply she could fight back.

[–] granolabar@kbin.melroy.org 53 points 11 months ago

Didn't even dare, honestly. Snapped, lost her cool, life destroyed...

Watch them trying paint her a Karen if she makes national headline and gets proper support.

This ain't right...

“She’s been in this world long enough that she certainly should know better that you can’t make threats like that in the current environment that we live in and think that we’re not going to follow up and put you in jail,” said Lakeland Police Chief Sam Taylor.

Land of the free (as long as you don't say the three No-No words), home of the brave (we will arrest the brave).

As if the vibe determines how much free speech you get on any given day

Going forward you watch how you talk to your insurance commisar!

[–] PP_BOY_@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago

And you should be grateful for the opportunity to pay for health insurance!

[–] PP_BOY_@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

Sorry, the metrics which with we use to evaluate what constitutes as "free speech" is a trade secret

[–] ikidd@lemmy.world 35 points 11 months ago (2 children)

The fact that this happened is way more frightening than any statement she could have made.

[–] NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago

Yeah, making statements online that aren't explicitly intended at harm is just enforcing the thought police. That's kind of scary.

[–] granolabar@kbin.melroy.org 5 points 11 months ago

To the "feds", you are here to "respect"

[–] stinky@redlemmy.com 25 points 11 months ago

Before change can happen the people have to want it.

Keep saying it.

KEEP SAYING IT.

Do you hear the people sing?

Singing the song of angry men

This is the music of a people

Who will not be slaves again

When the beating of your heart

Echoes the beating of a drum

There is a life about to start

When tomorrow comes

“Freeze peach for me, not for thee, peasant.”

[–] metaStatic@kbin.earth 15 points 11 months ago

is that the sound of 3d printers firing up all across the USA?

[–] extremeboredom@lemmy.world 9 points 11 months ago

Wonder if Chief Piggy Sam Taylor's speech has been entirely free of no-no words his whole life, since that's the standard he's applying here?

[–] shortwavesurfer@lemmy.zip 6 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Somebody opt to rally like a million different people across the country together to all call their insurance companies on the same day and say delay, deny, depose.

[–] captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 2 points 11 months ago

Or better yet, have a million people say "cancel my policy" on the same day. Or 330 million.
