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

    “She readily admitted that, ‘Yeah that’s exactly what I said but I didn’t mean anything by it’,” Chief Taylor said. “Well, you don’t get to pull that back after you say it.”

    Based on Boston’s statements, investigators said they believed she meant to threaten the insurance company “by using the UnitedHealthcare CEO’s homicide to her advantage.”

    Boston was charged with threats to conduct a mass shooting or an act of terrorism, according to the affidavit.

    THIS is why the patriot act and its continued reauthorization is just so fucked. We don’t have the rights we did before 2000 and she could not be charged with anything before that. Its especially ironic given she has done less wrong than our incoming president has done in his speeches. Threatening to execute many people rather than just one ceo.
