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.

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.

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
