    You seem to forget that mass shootings are an almost daily occurrence in this country.

    Quoting an assassin, then telling a call center worker that they’ll all be next should only ever be taken as a threat.

    If she had said, “Your company’s actions might cause someone to commit further violence,” this wouldn’t have been news, but there is no reality where her statement alone should be taken as just an observation.

    She intended to make the person on the other end of the line and the people they work with afraid, and that’s a crime.

    Those people probably didn’t even directly work for UHC, so it’s not even like she was telling anyone who could remotely do anything about it.
