    LOL. People are FAFO'ing. It'll be interesting the next time it's not an idle threat. I almost feel bad for her. Her pic says, "I can't even comprehend the ways that I fucked up!"

    LAKELAND, Fla. (WFLA) — A Lakeland woman was charged Tuesday after police said she ended a call to an insurance company with the words, “Delay, Deny, Depose.”

    In an arrest affidavit, the Lakeland Police Department said officers were contacted by the FBI on Tuesday, Dec. 10 regarding an alleged threat made over the phone.

    Briana Boston, 42, had reportedly placed a call to BlueCross BlueShield regarding recent medical insurance claims she was denied. The entire phone call was recorded, according to the affidavit.

    Near the end of the call, investigators said Boston could be heard stating, “Delay, Deny, Depose. You people are next.” The first three words are similar to those written on the ammunition that a gunman used in the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in New York City last week.

     

    Police made contact with Boston at her home in Lakeland, where she reportedly admitted to using those words during the call, telling detectives that “healthcare companies played games and deserved karma from the world because they are evil.”

    Boston reportedly told detectives she used the phrase “because it’s what is in the news right now,” and that she had learned of the phrase due to the UnitedHealthcare homicide.

    However, Boston added that she does not own any firearms and “was not a danger to anyone,” police said.

    how on earth is that a crime?  mere threats can't be a crime under the 1st amendment, right?  doesn't it have to be paired with some sort of reasonably immediate ability to carry it out or something?

  2. The "show me your diploma" that Ags do is Lil Brother Maxxing. 

     

    It is a tacit acknowledgement of the superiority of UT.  "I bet you couldn't even get in there" is the message.  I promise you I've never challenged someone to show me they could get an Aggie degree.

  4. First one had a lot of magic for the kids.  This one is a lot closer to Frozen 2 than Toy Story 2.

     

    Evidently it was supposed to be TV series that they re-rigged into a movie because Disney needed something in the box office given the losing streak they were on.  You could tell.  There are some giant electric eels that just appear, are there for a scene, are fought with, then are gone.  What the hell was that all about? Then you understand it was probably some bad guy in one episode of a series.

     

    Kids left the first one singing all the songs.  This one felt like Elf Singing GIFs | Tenor level of quality of songs.

    there isnt more to it, the story is more than 3 weeks old and been covered in other parts of this site and ive seen a few youtube videos about it.  and to make matters worse, he turned 11 very shortly after this. so this story is even more ridiculous.

     

    its a small mostly rural town in Georgia,  The kid walked to town on his own, in nice October weather. his mom thought he was in the backyard, and drove one of her other kids to an appointment. and a worried "Karen" calls the cops to say theres a kid walking along the county road by himself.  Thats it full stop. nothing nefarious.

    The excuse used to arrest mom is best described as "worst-case wishing"   

    The actual story originally told to the local paper, which asked the sheriffs dept why was mom arrested, was that the sheriff said that something "could' have happened to the kid.   That he could have been kidnapped, or hurt, or fill in the blank.

    thats not a fucking crime, and all the "could have's" in the world dont matter if none of them didn't happen.  Thats mom's job to tell the kid that not the fucking sheriff's job to arrest the mom for that.

     

    But that was literally the reason the sheriff went back and arrested Mom-  because some jackass in authority decided that because something could have happened, that the child was in endagered in his own fucking rural town walking in full daylight  to the local store which was a mile away.

     

     

    Arresting mom because *someone else* could have been a criminal is an excellent use of the law.
