Woman jailed after using shooting suspect's catchphrase as insurance company denied claim.

Attorneys have said the insurance industry uses a "delay, deny, defend" tactic to withhold health care services.

Jailed for using words to describe what insurance companies do?

Judge is trying to fill their year-end quota.

"You people are next" does seem pretty threat-ish, however:

After being charged with threats to conduct a mass shooting or an act of terrorism, a judge set Boston's bond at $100,000.

That is completely out of touch with what happened. "You people are next" not an act of terrorism.

Per the GoFundMe, she was released and charges dropped:

Hi everyone, it looks like the county released Briana with no charges, so I stopped the campaign. See here: https://www.polksheriff.org/inmate-profile/2435323 I am looking how to run a gazillion of reimbursements on this platform.

Freedom of speech, as long as it's completely meaningless.

Nothing like jail time to radicalized someone more. Judge is playing 5d cheese by providing motivation.

They think they're making an example. That this will have a chilling effect.

They're wrong. All this is going to do is radicalize even more people. As it should.

Remember folks, the company reps you interact with are generally not the ones making the rules they are paid to abide by. They're working for a living, just like us.

With that, calling this an "act of terrorism" is an incredulous overreaction that just goes to show how badly they're shitting their pants right now.

I’ve heard worse death threats in Fortnite.

May the first amendment suit she files after this gain her the money she needs for her healthcare. And may whatever insurance company this is be dissolved.

This will definitely ease tensions among the masses and rouse support for the Healthcare execs lmao

This occurred in Deregulated Fucking Florida and I thought the damn MAGATs are for freedom of speech.

First "witch" burned by inquisition of capitalism

Regardless whether you support her general conduct, I think we can all rally around one tenet here:

Don't harass a shitty company's T1 support out of priciples against the company in general.They're in no better position to effect change in the system than you are. They exist only to be slightly more competent phone robots, turning your whiney noise into itemized actions, and filter those actions down to a restricted subset of system commands the company permits them to do.

If anything, they're on our level of the totem pole. Any outrage directed at them for actions of their broader company are a gross misdirection and wholly counterproductive.

I don't know who this lady was speaking to on the phone. But if it was some minimum wage phone bank slave who is just the ablative frontline of the customer support hotline, I don't support her threat in that context.

According to the affidavit, 42-year-old Briana Boston used the phrase during a call with BlueCross BlueShield about a denied claim.

"Delay, Deny, Depose. You people are next," she allegedly said near the end of the call.

The "You people are next" line certainly adds some context to this story.

See, telling your supposed enemy your intentions was the first mistake. If you didn't intend to go through with it, then it was just an empty threat. Either way it's dumb.

I don't know about insurance but I worked once alongside a Google call center DB team, for adwords and they received lots of messages like these over inbound AND outbound calls, emails or chats.

Google is EXTREMELY strict with threats issued to their own employees, even third party contractors, to the point they would ABSOLUTELY and without chance of appeals blacklist people like this person.

To dimension the sheer scale of being blacklisted by Google, that means that every IP address they ever registered you using, be it by VPN or whatever, gets thrown in a black hole you can never escape

Google services or accounts you linked using those IPs? Fucked forever.

If you were part of the unlucky people who get a static IP set, get ready to start a lengthy process just to remove your account from being associated to that one.

Marketing manager accounts? Screwed for life. Might as well say goodbye to your job and consider never advertising through adwords again.

And I'm not even touching what happens with devices, payment processors, YouTube, educative domains and, worst of all, corporate compute instances.

If Google didn't destroy you in those cases, your company and your bank certainly will.

So yeah, if Google takes that shit seriously, you bet a healthcare provider will do the same

The first amendment to the Constitution of the United States does not protect speech that threatens or incites violence.

Stephen Bonczyk of Lakeland Florida is a tyrant and fascist who doesn't respect our right to free speech in the US. In my opinion.

Those LLs in the llc titles are coming into focus

Threatening the hospital that was denying my father care, leaving him to die, was the only way I got into the literal board room to reason with them. I got them to resume treatment after they dicked around for a month and he refused to leave because he was going to die if he left.

He still died because he was so sick at that point that they couldn’t do the procedure he needed when he first arrived.

So I threatened them in 2010, and I’d fucking do it again now for my child. We are supposed to stand up for our loved ones.

So, no free speech in the US after all?

This judge is just making things worse by doing this.

After being charged with threats to conduct a mass shooting or an act of terrorism, a judge set Boston's bond at $100,000.

"I do find that the bond of $100,000 is appropriate considering the status of our country at this point," the judge said.

I imagine the "Delay, Deny, Depose" didn't get her in trouble nearly as much as the "You people are next" part. Yeah, that's a bit hostile there.

Remember this the next time the cops tell someone they can’t do anything about a stalker or angry ex threatening to kill them until they actually act. They can do something. They choose not to.

She said "Delay, Deny, Depose. You people are next," according to the article.

Proof that the justice system only serves the wealthy.

They are afraid.

Good.

From the article’s source article:

“She’s been in this world long enough that she certainly should know better that you can’t make threats like that in the current environment that we live in and think that we’re not going to follow up and put you in jail,” said Lakeland Police Chief Sam Taylor.

I thought we had a legal definition of a real threat, and this isn’t it.

After being charged with threats to conduct a mass shooting or an act of terrorism, a judge set Boston's bond at $100,000.

"I do find that the bond of $100,000 is appropriate considering the status of our country at this point," the judge said.

Looks like a lot of us are going to jail over the next 4 years.

I'm sure the "Free Speech" people are up in arms about this, right?

Lol, catch phrase or actual corporate practice? Because quoting a company memo to said company is apparently a threat.

Why? She was delayed, denied, and deposed. If it's so bad then jail the insurer.

Delay, deny, and depose the FBI. The FBI isn't acting like this during a Trump presidency, this is the most lenient it gets at, during a democratic presidency. With a Trump presidency, Americans should familiarize themselves with current Russian society to know what they should expect for its future. Fuck your messed up police state, Americans, and fuck a constitution that only seems to be propaganda bullshit that is too much for the FBI to live by.

Her expression says I can't believe this shit. I can't, either.

What about free speach?

They're determined aren't they? To just completely make Luigi a martyr.

Jesus fucking Christ we are so damn cooked. It's actually joever.
signed, a floridian

Ah yes, more of that freedom we crow so much about as our brand.

The company she spoke to is free to take her premium payments for years, then to kill her through claim denial, and she's free say "thank you for taking my premiums all those years and now denying my claim" and then die quietly.

Herp derp Freedom🇺🇸

My my aren't we the butthurt bunch these days? heh

The last part was probably it but its clear they are scared. That fills my heart with joy.
