How
Probably the last sentence
She doesn't even own a gun and seems to pose little tangible threat, yet they're claiming intent to commit mass murder or terrorism. Its a ridiculous stretch from that little comment
You do realize that it's possible to possess a weapon that isn't registered to you, right?
Why would you not take a person referencing a recent assassination and telling you that you are next seriously? I'd 100% call the cops if that happened to me when I was a call center agent.
I'm not saying it shouldn't have been followed up on but, given what we know now, it seems ridiculous to charge her with intent to commit a mass shooting or terrorist attack
You'd only think it was a credible threat if your system was so fucked up the powder keg was lit
Mass shootings are almost a daily occurrence in the US. Why wouldn't you take the threat seriously?
If this person had actually shot up a call center and the FBI was found to have said, "Eh, they probably didn't mean it that way," people would be equally as outraged.
There's a difference between investigating a possible threat, and attempting to prosecute. I suggest you learn it.
The woman just means that the people she was talking to will be screwed over by insurance too.
She was saying we’re all in this together, basically!
