It wasn't a threat, they cut her off before she could finish her sentence. It might have been one but we don't know what she was gonna say next. She might have said the word "if" right after which would make an ultimatum, not a threat. Which unfortunately is legal.

It was a real threat. The difference between a viable and a nonviable threat is in the details. For example; If you were in a heated argument and suddenly burst out "I'll kill you!" in a heat of the moment, it is considered a nonviable threat. But if you give details like...\n\n1/2

...\n- When (monday morning)\n- Where (at the school gate)\n- How (with a gun, loaded and ready)\n- Why (to get your demands met)\n\n...it is considered a viable threat, because you strengthed your threat to force the person you're threatening to take your threat serious.\n\n2/2

The only reason they took the threat seriously, because the many things that has been happening on school grounds. In a democratic country with freedom of speech n freedom to bear arms they would have re acted differently.MARS would be a democratic planet in till humans colonies

Not sure what\u2019s worse\u2026 that she said it or that she felt so comfortable saying and thought there\u2019d be no repercussion.

Apparently she was correct to not be concerned about repercussions.https://twitter.com/DavidBegnaud/status/1484686658616262658\u00a0\u2026

This is public evidence now. No one can say they didn't see this coming. This woman must be held in custody, her children must be removed from her care, her home must be searched, her weapons must be seized. "Monday" can NOT happen. @FBI

Thank you. We\u2019ll be reading on Monday night about another mass shooting where everyone knew and no one intervened. I wouldn\u2019t have stood for this as a board member. Wtf is wrong here?? @FBI

Good. She deserves it. I bet she thinks she is a great parent and a good Christian standing up against a cloth mask. She is neither. Good parents and good Christians don\u2019t threaten to harm people with guns. Ever.

They were so calm. It was clear that her identity as a white woman was providing cover. Has that been a Black man or woman, they would not have made it to their car before officers arrived on scene.

There must have been a wall@of outrage in the phones at the Luray PD. Because that initial response was absurd! You can\u2019t just apologize away and deadly threat. That\u2019s not how orderly society works.

How do I share a country with someone who is willing to shoot people trying to be safe by wearing masks. This country has gone mad.

And now that kid has to go through life with everyone knowing his mom was arrested for threatening to bring loaded guns to school....all over a mask!

A $5,000 bond. Seriously? If she were Muslim or Black threatening to shoot up a school would not carry such a low bond.pic.twitter.com/Dar3odMhPF

So can people rob banks there and apologize and give the money back?? Crimes are not crimes if white and apologize? This lady should lose her right to possess firearms for a year and that should apply to anyone that lives with her.

Personally, I'm more disturbed that the outcome of that school board meeting was that they are NOT going to enforce a mask mandate. Because that means that there were at least 4 other people in the room that agreed with her...
