A Virginia woman was charged Friday with making an oral threat on school property when she said at a school board meeting that she would show up with loaded guns if her children were required to wear masks at schools, according to the local police department.

Driving the news: "My children will not come to school on Monday with a mask on," Amelia King, 42, told the school board. "Alright? That's not happening. And I will bring every single gun loaded and ready to... I will call every..."

After King was interrupted for going over her allotted time, she replied, "I'll see y'all on Monday."

A magistrate released King on a $5,000 unsecured bond, according to the Luray Police Department.

1. So, a $50 fine?

These fucktards have been threatening school boards and election officials all over the country.

2. Good! Making threats against others is simply not tolerated. Maybe a stint in jail

will teach her to not mouth off like this, threatening others during the process, but somehow, I doubt it. People who mouth off like this are prone to mouth off again and again and again and ...

We've all known people like this, they seemingly never learn the value of simply being quiet or not mouthing off.

3. She actually seems pretty normal when she explained herself.

She absolutely messed up and deserved to be charged. But when she calmed down she did a good job of explaining herself. She does not actually own any guns. She was trying to say she was going to fight the mask mandate with everything she could, protests, phone call campaigns, legal action, etc. The gun thing was a terrible metaphor that will cost her dearly.

7. Uh, yeh, very normal.

She works in her fathers dental practice.
The practice has shut down their social media accounts

9. OK, now I see why she's not a terrorist

despite the unlawful use of violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims.

11. Please, don't defend intimidating threats with firearms.

[Lochloosa]

12. Oh please.

14. Then what's that picture circulating of her and her husband showing off

their "I am a frightened asshole" brand guns?

15. Sorry, still a threat & she should be dealt with harshly.

I'm sick of people like that on ANY level
And how the hell can she claim "just a metaphor" when she plainly said "bring every gun I have"?

17. Cool story, bro.

4. Good - but she needs to be in an institution

Did they confiscate her guns - if any?

5. The people brought to us by the Republican Party, Trump, and media like Fox.

Uncivilized, rude, crude—and just plain stupid. Not one child has ever died from wearing a mask, though several children and hundreds of thousands of adults have died from the Covid that masks help protect against. Parents like this need to be prosecuted for child abuse by subjecting kids to a dangerous illness by forbidding them to wear masks.

6. Her apology, which I paraphrase, was great:

"See, when I said 'guns', I didn't mean GUN guns; I meant non-gun guns. I thought everyone would know the difference."

[TNNurse]

13. I believe that is BS and she knows that.

[Prof. Toru Tanaka]

16. She ACTUALLY said that?

Holy shit- I'd love to hear her try to explain that comment to a trial judge.

[Corgigal]

10. Social services,

with LEO backup, need to start checking on those children.

She doesn’t appear adult enough, thinking wise to have possession of children.

[Icanthinkformyself]

18. Didn't need it

but, she is further evidence that those who occupy the right wing of politics are bullies and cowards. Selfish, petty and short sighted. Are they all just gullible fools? It seems so.
