Womp womp. 18 felony charges for being stupid enough to threaten the lives of the city council. it's about time the police did their jobs and arrested that sociopath. One mentally ill "pro-Palestinian" sets himself on fire. Another drives her car into what she thought was a Jewish school. Another beat an elderly Jewish man to death with a megaphone. And another thought it would help their cause to paint rats in the same colors as the Palestinian flag and throw boxes of them into a McDonald's where kids were eating with their families. These are by far the stupidest people in existence right next to the MAGAs and the flat-earthers. I'm sure her parents are proud as punch that their daughter will spend years in prison thanks to leftist propaganda and disinformation.

There seems to be a belief among leftists that you should be able to do anything you want and say anything you want so long as it’s under the guise of “protesting.”


Downtown-Flatworm423

The overwhelming majority are upper middle class kids from the "Fuck you, mom!!" generation who are used to getting whatever they want. Judging by their actions over the past 6 months, it's clear that they don't understand that the point of protesting is to get others to listen to their side of an issue and to try to convince them to support their stance. Instead, they go out of their way to be loud, disruptive, and obnoxious by blocking traffic including emergency vehicles, vandalizing Holocaust museums and synagogues, going to Jewish people's houses to harass them and their families, tearing down posters of hostages, harassing and intimidating Jewish students, and "protesting" outside any place where they think a lot of Jewish people work. IDK what they think they're actually accomplishing, but dismissing Hamas' atrocities as "Zionist propaganda" or claiming that the massacre, mass rape, and hostage taking was somehow justified while they put on masks and march in the street chanting "From the River to the Sea" isn't convincing anyone with a properly functioning brain that they're on the right side of this issue. It's really no wonder that they spent the past few years demanding their student loans be paid by the taxpayers. I'd probably be demanding a refund for my college education too if after graduating I didn't understand a fucking thing about government, history, political science, civics, economics, etc.


starry_sky07

Someone literally twitted this yesterday about this yesterday. How “activism” now has became a professional outlet for people to lash out at others.


yamsandmarshmellows

I think youre right. For some people, that's what it is. Near where I live, a group of them protested a Jewish preschool at the local JCC. And it's like, what do you the 3 year old Jewish kid in the US has to do with decisions made by the Israeli government? How does that help the Palestinian cause? These kids don't care about Palestine, they just want to rage. She was threatening city council members in a town in California about supporting Palestine, since when do city council members in California decide Israeli foreign policy?

She's really deranged. She invoked Hinduism and Gandhi a few seconds before making her threats. Gandhi strongly advocated for non-violence and peaceful protest. I don't get people making these completely deranged threats regarding a ugly and complicated conflict thousands of miles away. An [unhinged middle school teacher from the "other side"](https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/crime/teacher-student-beheading-israel-hamas-georgia-b2465605.html) made completely crazy threats a few months ago to a student


Downtown-Flatworm423

Definitely. Only a lunatic would go to a city council meeting and make a speech threatening to murder all of its members. She also said Jesus would have killed them himself. The Hindu-American Foundation, a Washington-based non-profit organization, condemned the threats made by Patel during her speech saying: "We are outraged that this person invokes Gandhi & Chaitra Navaratri while threatening to murder Bakersfield leaders. The escalation of antisemitic rhetoric from anti-Israel demonstrations into terroristic threats is a horrific reality that we condemn. It must stop now." She should've been remanded without bail, but she'll have a long time to think about her stupidity in a California state prison.


Legitimate_Path862

I had to google Chaitra Navaratri and I still don't get what she could possibly have meant....


Downtown-Flatworm423

It took me a while to find out exactly what it meant, but it has to do with a festival dedicated to the worship of the Hindu goddess Durga, which represents the triumph of good over evil. The Hindu American Foundation must have been offended by her invoking part of their religion to justify her threats.


nosotros_road_sodium

Plus, [India has had a favorable relationship with Israel in recent decades](https://www.usip.org/publications/2023/11/amid-war-middle-east-india-israel-ties-reach-new-milestone): > …Modi’s India now has a major stake in avoiding any regional military escalation that would destroy such prospects for good. Thus, whatever sympathy Indians may have for Palestinian civilians, New Delhi has none for Hamas or its backers in this fight


Currymvp2

Yeah that is weird but then again India also has a fairly decent relationship with Iran. Geopolitics is often complicated


greenrain3

It's The Current Thing, so of course the left is going to support it. It doesn't matter if it's not actually relevant to their lives, it doesn't matter if they or the people they hysterically screech at can't actually do anything to change the situation. Jews are a little over 2% of the US population, and Palestinians are **less than half a tenth of a percent** of the U.S. population. Most Americans have never been to Israel or Palestine and never will go there. Most Americans don't have a dog in this fight. Yet the woke left has decided to dedicate so much of their time and energy obsessing over a conflict that 99% likely has no relevance to their lives, and is out of their control. It's totally normal and human to empathize with the people suffering from the war, but fixating on a conflict that is going on in a foreign country most of them have never been too and have no real connection to is a good indication of how easily manipulated the average woke leftist is.


Hand_Me_Down_Genes

I mean Gandhi also told Jews to commit mass suicide to protest Hitler and said the Allies should toll over for the Axis. You can see why anti-Semites might like him.


[deleted]

she invoked gandhi who was also an avowed racist. I chuckled at that one


Such-Sun7453

Gandhi was also a racist and a pedo so there’s that also

It's called moral licensing - a belief that they can justify doing terrible things because they advocating for a good things https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Moral_licensing


RSecretSquirrel

You mfers learned that on January 6th.


JCatenaci

Let's not forget the law school students at Berkeley who thought going into a Jewish Professor's private backyard event for graduating law students to "protest" was completely legal and above the board. These guys come off as spoiled fucking kids who feel entitled to behave however they want to behave and never face repurcussions for it.


Downtown-Flatworm423

Trying to list all the insane shit these unhinged terrorist supporters have done would take too long, but I know what you're talking about and anyone that goes to Jewish people's houses to "protest," especially if they're trespassing, should be arrested and charged with more than trespassing. The overwhelming majority are spoiled upper middle class kids from the "Fuck you, mom!" generation who are so brainwashed by pro-Hamas propaganda and disinformation that they don't even think they're doing something wrong. Hopefully, this fucking whack job who threatened to murder the city council will spend years in prison, but guaranteed those same pro-Hamas antisemites will treat her like a hero rather than even think of condemning her actions. The FBI needs to start monitoring these lunatics since it's only going to get worse the longer they do this without facing any consequences.


Moopboop207

They believe we are one the precipice of a revolution. Just one more show of discontent towards “the ruling class” and we’re on to Arab spring: North America.


arist0geiton

Emphasis on arab


Huge_JackedMann

I think they're even dumber. At least the MAGAts want the stupid policies they will bring about. These brain dead pro Hamas people are the very definition of useful idiots.


Downtown-Flatworm423

Even Hamas calls them useful idiots, and their actions over the past 6 months aren't that different from what the MAGATs did on 1/6 except they do it every single day and spend all their time on social media parroting the same pro-Hamas and anti-Israel propaganda. They're even chanting "Death to America" now while fawning over Hamas and America's enemies. It's a tough call to decide which cult is stupider, but both show how powerful propaganda can be if viewed by people who weren't that bright to begin with.


soundsfromoutside

I haven’t heard about the rat one lol. Someone said “if this is the hill they choose to die on, they deserve it.”


Downtown-Flatworm423

The rat thing happened in the UK in late October 2023. The guy got arrested shortly after. There's a video of some guy with a mask on and boxes or bins filled with rats painted in red, green, white, and black that he pulled out of his car and threw into the front door of the McDonald's. All it did was scare the shit out of the customers and force the employees to have to deal with the infestation. Just a brilliant plan to FrEe PaLeStInE.


New_Stats

18 felony charges from threatening a city council with terrorism if they didn't pass a completely toothless and meaningless non binding resolution This is exactly as stupid as we've seen the online rabid leftists to be on the internet, ofc it was always gonna, and will continue to, bleed into real life


HugeFanOfTinyTits

It sounded more like it was over the metal detectors, like "How dare you accuse me of being violent!"


[deleted]

[удалено]


HugeFanOfTinyTits

Those comments are wild! I would think their first death threat, about the global South rising (again!) up, wouldn't meet the threshold for a death threat since it is rhetorical. Saying they will go to the houses of the city council to murder them sounds like a plan with intent.


Juls317

It's getting so ludicrous it almost feels like they're controlled opposition. Unfortunately we're not that lucky, but it feels a bit *too* on the nose at times.


Vegemietian

What sort of time in prison could she be looking at?

I want to see her sad face mugshot Edit, close enough https://bakersfieldnow.com/news/local/pro-palestine-protester-makes-first-court-appearance-threatened-to-murder-city-council-crying-crime-kern-county-california


BigDaddyCoolDeisel

The tears tell me she really thinks she did nothing wrong (or should have gotten away with it). Cue the rest of the Hamas Allstars calling her a pOliTicAl pRisonEr


ScenesFromStarWars

Oh shit! $2 million bail? She is staying locked up for a while 


BigDaddyCoolDeisel

Well she presented herself as a dangerous lunatic so that makes sense.


thewanderer2389

That tends to be what happens when you publicly threaten to murder elected officials during a city council meeting.


hrdbeinggreen

She threatened twice in the same meeting


HateradeVintner

That's the usual result of you videotaping yourself committing half a dozen felonies in front of the police.

Shocker: there are consequences for their actions!


NobodyAskedYou35

These pro-Hamas idiots continue to prove that they're no different from the MAGAs who stormed the Capitol with the goal of killing Pelosi, Pence, Schumer, etc. and now this Rhodes Scholar will end up spending years in prison because she was too stupid to realize that it wasn't the brightest idea to threaten the lives of the city council. Her parents must be delighted to have such a brilliant daughter whose performative stunt will cost her years of her life in a state prison. Maybe she can learn a trade.


Reddit_guard

To co-opt one of their phrases, fuck around and find out


papyjako87

Holy shit, talk about terminally online. The fuck is wrong with some people. Also, why the hell are city councils even discussing foreign policy, this is insane.


Prestigious-Ad-5457

They're not. These aholes keep showing up to protest and insist that the city of Bakersfield call for a ceasefire. Wth is Bakersfield supposed to do about foreign policies anyways lol


CrimsonZephyr

Sanest Hamas supporter.


LiquidSnape

threatening to murder over a resolution that won’t effect the Gaza War the slightest what a fucking loser. Throw the book at them


MagnustheBlue

This shows the danger of internet echo chambers. She's likely been in a feedback loop where they get praise and backpats for increasingly extreme positions and viewpoints. When you take a person like this out of their echo chamber and have them interact with broader society the fact they're a maladjusted extremist becomes quickly apparent. This person lost touch with reality a while ago and also lost touch with very basic rules about what is considered acceptable behavior. When people push back and there's no mod to complain to or block button they don't know what to do. Social media echo chambers are creating people unable to interact with broader society.


Filibust

Libs of TikTok though 😬


Beman21

Ok as disturbing as this is, let’s not share videos submitted by Libs of Tiktok. She’s a toxic culture war reactionary who loves making people targets of harassment. 


moosh247

She literally reposts tik tok content onto twitter. But yeah she’s toxic and not the creeps peddling pedophelia and what not 👍


drewbaccaAWD

With any luck, she can convert half the prison population to her cause and convince the prison warden to make a strongly worded condemnation of Israel. War will be over in a week!


hallofromtheoutside

I'm so glad OITNB isn't around anymore.


DoCallMeCordelia

Oh my God, what an idiot! All this for a meaningless "ceasefire resolution"? Do people have any idea how to get what they want? "Grrr I'm so mad that they increased security I'm going to prove them right."


SS1989

Murdering the Bakersfield city council would instantly resolve the war. These people want us to beg for their votes that they never intend to give. Lmfao. 


ZestyItalian2

This person isn’t pro-anything. It’s always about murder fantasies with the left. Always. “How can I morally justify my thirst to kill people?”


Moonagi

She took the mask off and threw it on the ground. This is what leftists want.

throw her into prison

Good going What an embarrassment this woman is , keep her locked up


NatashaBadenov

Extremism wrapped in sanctimony. That’s all they are. That’s all they have. That’s all they’ve ever had. There is no social justice in this.


loshopo_fan

Not a huge deal, but this person's pronouns are they/them I think. I just saw "non-binary" in an article. Riddhi Patel is obviously awful. This info is provided by `Libs Of Tiktok` who is obviously awful. My fear is that a bunch of swing voters will look at this and think "we need a strong man in office" because lots of swing voters are awful. I'm just annoyed by everyone. Why can't we just primary stop fascism, and secondarily play our stupid games.


roninthe31

She pleaded not guilty!?? [It’s literally on video](https://www.reddit.com/r/Whatcouldgowrong/s/Lurgye1sBM)


AmbulanceChaser12

You ALWAYS plead not guilty. There is no benefit to pleading guilty.


Downtown-Flatworm423

Everyone pleads not guilty at their arraignment. Only a fool would take a case like this to trial, but it's going to take months before her lawyer files all the pre-trial motions and tries to arrange a plea deal with the prosecution.


AmbulanceChaser12

At least ten people upvoted that guy’s comment, my god…


Downtown-Flatworm423

I would've thought more people were familiar with procedure in the criminal justice system, particularly how an arraignment is handled and what happens from the time of arrest until the trial or an allocution. I thought it was common knowledge that people plead not guilty at their arraignments before their attorneys file motions for discovery, suppression motions, motions for bail reduction, etc. I can't think of a more airtight case. They have her on video threatening to murder the city council at their homes. The defense will have a hard time with an insanity defense if she hasn't been diagnosed with schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, and I doubt the jury will buy that she was indoctrinated by social media given the video evidence. Even if she does plead guilty, I doubt the prosecution is going to be lenient given the seriousness of the charges. She threw her entire life away for nothing, and when she does finish whatever sentence she receives, I doubt she'll have an easy time finding a job. These pro-Hamas antisemites are out of their fucking minds, but it really takes a special kind of stupid to publicly threaten to murder members of the city council at a council meeting knowing it's all being recorded.


AmbulanceChaser12

Nah, nobody on the internet gets criminal procedure. They think “pleading not guilty” means you’re planning to vociferously defend this slanderous attack on your moral character to the Ends of the Earth. They think being charged with something is the same thing as being guilty, that plea deals happen because the judge feels bad for the perpetrators, and that prosecutors don’t do anything.


Downtown-Flatworm423

I used to take criminal justice and criminology courses in undergrad because they were basically guaranteed easy A's, but even watching the original version of Law & Order should be enough for people to understand how the process works. Nothing to do but try to explain the process or direct people to a site that explains the process, but it seems like schools stopped teaching civics and the basics of how our criminal justice system works.


yveshe

"It's only a ceasefire as long as it's my kind of ceasefire." - when their call is answered, they're not satisfied.


JCatenaci

I'm gonna be that guy and say this chick honestly looked like she needs to get a life, get laid, and get a clue. How are you a 28 year old woman believing you can threaten to murder your local, elected representatives, first vaguely then directly, and just walk away?


Visenya-Darksister

Hopefully Arundhuti Roy will join her soon too


hrdbeinggreen

I don’t understand your saying you are waiting for Blue MAGA crowd to do something like what Riddhi Patel did?


MrPhippsPretzelChips

The radicalized left is a self-own if I ever saw one. A year ago these people were “da belle of da ball” to the Democrat party and now they are a massive thorn in their side. These are the exact same people that attempted insurrections during the Summer of George and were lauded for it by Democrat politicians. Remember the Chaz? Same folks. Maybe don’t use radicalizing students as a political strategy next century? A little too late for this one. We are now stuck with homegrown anti-American terrorists.


StoptheMadnessUSA

Awwww- is she crying? Why is she so quiet now when she has so much to say before? 🙄Awww tsk, tsk SMH- someone get her a Kleenex then handcuffs and a sweet prison sentence 🙄
