Original Note:
There’s no evidence Patel wasn’t going to murder anyone. Regardless, criminal or terroristic threats, even without committing assault, is considered a felony in California. She was charged with 18 felonies because she threatened council members, not “to send a message”. https://www.egattorneys.com/criminal-threats-penal-code-422-pc https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2024-04-13/activist-faces-18-felonies-for-threats-to-city-council-during-meeting https://www.robertmhelfend.com/criminal-defense/california-criminal-threats-laws/
