The goal is to make an example of her.

    Whelp that’s quite a bit more significant. But to be fair, the headlines are all failing to mention there even is a second message and that’s what she got arrested for. It’s ‘journalists’ misframing it for clicks, not the general public at fault.

    Also, very important follow-up, she apologized in the chat shortly after and said it was a joke when other students expressed concern, and:

    Saldana reportedly tried to “soften” the impact after the fact by editing the message to add “I sowwy :(“

    Judge pulsewidth: Case dismissed.

        To be more precise we’re commenting on a tweet covering a report from 7 News Miami, which has the same lead headline.

        If you look for news reports on it they all share a similar headline - highlighting the Netanyahu comment not the bomb threat.
