    Yes, actually, I am. This is nowhere near an actionable threat and arresting her over it is insanity and should be criminal itself.

      It was the, “You people are next”. If she had just used his catchphrase I doubt we’d be here.

        I didn’t think that holds muster either. It could mean many different things, even in context. The bar for true threats in the US is very high, as it should be. They clearly wanted to make an example of her to nip this class consciousness in the bud, and our legal system is certainly prone to bad decisions and practices, but in theory I can’t see this passing that high bar.
