‘We’ll murder you’ – California Anti-Israel Activist Charged After Threatening City Council and Mayor
During public meeting over Gaza ceasefire: “We’ll see you at your house. We’ll murder you.”
An anti-Israel activist in Bakersfield, California recently attended a public meeting where she threatened violence against members of the city council and the mayor for what she saw as insufficient support for a ceasefire in Gaza.
She left the meeting in handcuffs.
FOX News reported:
Anti-Israel protester charged for threats against California mayor, city council members: ‘We’ll murder you’
An anti-Israel protester was arrested and charged with making terroristic threats at a Bakersfield City Council meeting in California on Wednesday.
During the public comment section of the meeting, protester Riddhi Patel threatened to murder council members and Republican Mayor Karen Goh for not backing a cease-fire resolution against Israel and for installing heavier security at the government building due to ongoing anti-Israel protests.
Video of the meeting depicted Patel claiming she hoped oppressed minorities would guillotine city government members, declaring that even Jesus Christ would kill them, and threatening to go to their houses and murder them…
During her first address, Patel declared that she was speaking in support of the cease-fire resolution and then predicted that the body would decline to support it because “you guys are all horrible human beings and Jesus would’ve killed you himself.”
She followed up by accusing the council members of not caring about the oppression of Palestinians or people anywhere else in the world and later expressed hope that “the global south” rise up and execute them.

Well, she wanted attention. I hope she’s pleased with herself.
Riddhi Patel wasn't crying when she threatened to murder the Bakersfield City Council. 🤷🏻♀️ #FAFOhttps://t.co/AqoNH7jqVi

We are outraged that this person invokes Gandhi & Chaitra Navaratri while threatening to murder @Bakersfield_Cal leaders.
The escalation of #antisemitic rhetoric from anti-Israel demonstrations into terroristic threats is a horrific reality that we condemn. It must stop now. pic.twitter.com/zCp1iwrXJu

Does anyone in the Democrat party see where all of this is headed?

That’s what I’m thinking, despite her invocation of Jesus.
Why would a Muslim invoke the Christ?? Only for reasons of Taqqiya.
drsamherman: Why would a Muslim invoke the Christ??
Jesus is one of the most important prophets in Islam. Muslims love Jesus and call him Messiah.
That must be why Christians are being massacred by Muslims in Nigeria, not to mention violence against Coptic Christians in Egypt. You are as stupid as you are dishonest, Zachfake. But at least you’ve had six months to pleasure yourself over Hamas 10/7 snuff videos so there’s that.
“Patel”? I highly doubt it. She’s more a third-world “anti-colonialist” retard.
You had me at retard.
Good thing you read it until the end.
Patel is the most common sur name in India. Mostly Hindu, but I am sure there are a few Muslim Patels out there.
She is a citizen, a really dumb one.
There should be a means to revoke citizen and expel people like her.
Religion of Pieces.
Desi sure gonna find out that her brownness isn’t gonna save her ass.
She sure is one tough cookie talking shit, then like the whiny b itch that she is, she boo hoos in court.
I missed we will murder you part (which is a threat). I heard she hoped someone would come with a guillotine (which is OTT, but probably not criminal).
I do not know if she is Muslim (she may be). She is certainly a woketard. As we often say: FAFO.
You’re in California. When this hate heifer shows up with her friends at your door, what recourse do you have? Using harsh language or urinating on yourself hoping to repulse them might not be helpful in your efforts defend yourself.and your family. #2A4-evah!
“Does anyone in the Democrat party see where all of this is headed?”
What is La Place de la Concorde?
She is basically announcing her candidacy for political office in California. She has an obvious skill at crowd-pleasing.
Going around threatening to murder public officials is a great idea, lol
But it wasn’t a “murder you murder you” threat (channeling Whoopie Goldberg).
Paraphrasing Roseann Barr: “We are so far past Clown World it will take the light from Clown World a million years to reach us.”
Probably get her a tenured position at, say, Northwestern or
U of I, Chicago
Bet she could find a mate in Chicago and make babies dumber than her.
Well, the rats in Chicago are about as big as her.
What’s up with this nutty “Global South” junk? I see it’s all the rage among the commies, these days. It’s just the Third World they’re talking about.
Evidently, the fat chick was mad about metal detectors being used in council buildings and public places … and she certainly made a great argument for the need for them. In a sane society this chunky chick would be sent back to her cherished Third World, tout de suite.
Probably angry she had to go through the metal detector sideways like Stacy “Buffet” Abrams
To be fair, it did make the plate in her skull a bit warm.
“What’s up with this nutty “Global South” junk?”
Oh, just another way to get at The Designated Oppressors; the other ones have been wearing a bit thin from use: darker skinned, colonized, currently poorer, suppressed religion(s), out group in the world economic system.
It’s always about getting at the oppressors, with a fig leaf claim covering vast presumptions. And reapration$, of course, to be distributed by the folks orchestrating the “grass roots” volk, less carrying charges, of course.
The “Global South” creates the notion of relatively Southern “peoples” as a group, oppressed by The Usual Oppressors: white, christian, Cristian nations, colonialists, enlightenment values, free markets, natural science is a thing, industrialization, and of course “patriarchy.”
As usual, there is a grain. If you go North / South on the globe the economics skew. Yet, I have yet to hear even a history of self-righteous oppressors proclaiming “For the North!” while stomping those sub-whatever Southerners. Get a non-Mercator global projection and you’ll see very skewed land mass, North vs. South. You wanna really mess with your head: flip it over.(*)
So, the higher-population, more interconnected Northern hordes dominated humans further South, somewhat. Something about more resources, more of them, more connected. Everybody’s bastards; the group with more bastards tends to win. That’s all you need.
(*) Bucky Fuller played around with an alternative projection, I’ve seen sold as novelties. I haven’t yet seen that, specifically implemented in software as a dynamic map.
There’s a great bit on global projections from The West Wing, here, including going from a fact of geography to Big Sociological Oppression

Nothing will happen to her. Nothing ever really seems to happen to these nutcases. I predict once the spotlight turns to other issues the prosecutor will quickly offer the defense a plea deal with one, perhaps two, misdemeanor charges, no jail time, supervised probation and require her to promise to be good girl from now on. And that’s about it.
… to promise not to say the quiet part out loud from now on.
Heigh ho,
Heigh ho,
It’s off to jail I go
crybaby idiot. welcome to adulthood, where your degree is useless.
I’ll bet she was a ton of fun after class.
So unfair! This is a venerable leftist tradition, and there has been no pushback so far!

Insular and pampered radicalized young women like Patel and that idiot at the Berkeley dinner party are so removed from the realities of life. We’re kind of lucky that they’re fragile commie-princesses instead of hardened, poverty stricken, early 20th century eastern bloc Slavs.
Seems Victor Davis Hanson agrees with me.

“We love death more than you love life.” Just think about that a minute.
Congratulations. Here’s your lovely parting gift.
Terms acceptable. Here it comes.
It’s the motto of the Palestinian “state”.
She and the perp who committed mass murder in Sydney Aus are symptoms of the Left waiting for the bottom of their food chain to act or threaten to act. The behavior of “True Believers”.
The left created these rabid animals and they shouldn’t be surprised when their creation threatens to consume them.
“I’ll sick the students on them. What could go wrong?” E. Raimondo ( speculation on my part, but pretty possible nonetheless)
So: It’s a terrorist threat when someone says “We’ll murder you” to a local city council, but not when a mob chants “Death to [the whole nation of] America”?
I’ll be Milhouse here: “the mob is threatening no one person in particular.”
Not convinced it isn’t worse when you recast it as applied to the Nation b/c that means overthrow the Constitutional Republic of the USA. So if the threats were not to specific individuals but rather the Nation as a whole that would mean in favor of ending the USA which is probably a violation of some of these folks immigration, asylum, naturalization status. Either way is fine by me so long as there are consequences.
It’s also, arguably, a declaration of war on the United States.
Milhouse would get 40 down thumbs and 20 angry responses.
You’ve just seen why Valerie Jarrett uses Joe Biden as a cutout.
Roseanne Barr exited the chat.
You might wonder who Riddhi Patel is. Well, not really ‘wonder’ if you read Legal Insurrection. You’d guess who she is, and you’d be right!
Fortunately the Indian-American community is quickly distancing itself from this nutter.
Let the little witch stay in jail. If she’s convicted—give her the max. She’s in a fairly Republican area of California (I know—SHOCK—they do exist!), and they have much less tolerance for that kind of behavior than if she were to do that in say, Sacramento or the Bay area.
Problem is that the little witch was taught that it was okay to make threats like this because of her SJW standing. Nobody taught her that it was WRONG to do this, or that it would have serious repercussions. Her tears are for the fact that she is realizing that nobody is letting her off the hook, and not for any genuine sense of remorse. I doubt that sulfur-reeking little demon, devoid of any soul, is even capable of remorse. Maybe a decade behind bars working her ass off at hard labor in an orange jumpsuit would wipe that rip that right out of her.
Who is paying her to act like this and say the things she said?
That’s always the correct first or second question to ask when you encounter progressive activists — “who is paying you to do this?”
Maybe a decade behind bars working her ass off at hard labor
“That’s not who are!”
The left has been drifting into pathological desocialization for 2 decades now and are quickly approaching a status where they are unfit to live in normal society. And this is true of ostensibly “normal” leftists like Pelosi and Schumer who drift in and out of sheer lunacy with no brakes.
^This^
Israel is a sovereign nation. Beyone our treaty-based obligations directly with Israel, we have absolutely NO business interfering in what is going on over there. So,,,”insufficient support for a cease fire” is ridiculous on it’s face.
*beyond
Aside from the fact a municipality has absolutely zero pull or weight in questions of foreign relations.
When leftists show you who they are, believe them.
When leftists show you who they are, shoot them.
Well, someone needs to address Bakersfield’s war on Palestine. /s
She went full retard
Never go full retard
Meh. Who here hasn’t threatened to murder a poli-critter?
I do wish these poli-critters would buy a clue and push back against the islamist narrative that ‘Israel must ceasefire to stop the bloodshed!’
The correct response is ‘No. Hamas must surrender to stop the bloodshed.’
Instead of always playing defense, up yer game, poli-critters. Attack!
When you say and do anything you want with no consequences why does anyone think she showed up and said this expecting online chapter?
“We’ll murder you,” she said.
With what, that empty box of cream-filled donuts from your breakfast?
Spew alert!
“For the eight counts of threatening certain public officials, the complaint lists Gonzales, Freeman, Weir, Kaur, Gray, Goh, Clegg and Drimakis as the victims. Clegg and Drimakis are not elected officials, however, the complaint refers to them as such.
The other two City Council members who attended Wednesday’s meeting,
Bob Smith and Eric Arias,
are not considered victims because they did not feel threatened,
DA spokeswoman Daniela Gonzaga said in an email to The Californian.”
( what freaking liberal idiot pro Muslim loving anti Israel .. idiots)
I would have felt threatened. But I wouldn’t have felt a victim.
Counter song to the murderous Hamas river-sea slogan.
This land is your land,
and this land is my land
From California to the New York island
From the Redwood Forest to the Gulf Stream waters
This land was made for you and me.
I’ve lost my taste for singing Kumbaya or any song popularized by socialist Woodie Guthrie.
I’m more concerned about the ones who don’t express their madness in public. Arresting Patel is not a sufficient solution.
It’s a start.
“I’m more concerned about the ones who don’t express their madness in public.”
Those are called postal workers.
Once again, the dire threat of white nationalism rears its ugly head!
It’s extremely disappointing to see many Americans of Indian descent — presumably Hindus who should be well-acquainted with Muslim supremacist and Islamofascist violence committed against members of their faith, in India — stupidly and indefensibly supporting Islamofascism and genocidal Muslim supremacism.
There seems to be a lot of looking to resolve things by raw force going around lately … as long at those other people are still bound by the old rules.
Methinks “They didn’t think it through.” (*)
(*) Hard to go wrong quoting David Mamet dialog. Don’t have to agree with his position on anything, or what his productions grapple with. FWIW, I know a couple people in the biz in LA, say he’s a renown jerk. I haven’t yet found the oppy to find out if they worked with him, or are just repeating the conventional RightThink.
Did Mamet do Meet The Robinsons? Because that’s whence I always remember that line:

I was thinking of the riff in the car after backing off the CIA in Wag The Dog.
If I’d been on the council, I would have engaged in premeditated self-defense.
Psycho: The name’s Francis Soyer, but everybody calls me Psycho. Any of you guys call me Francis, and I’ll kill you.
Leon: Ooooooh.
Psycho: You just made the list, buddy. And I don’t like nobody touching my stuff. So just keep your meat-hooks off. If I catch any of you guys in my stuff, I’ll kill you. Also, I don’t like nobody touching me. Now, any of you homos touch me, and I’ll kill you.
Sergeant Hulka: Lighten up, Francis.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
These filth are not “anti-Israel activists.” They are Muslim terrorist advocates. Don’t use terminology that makes them seem less bloodthirsty than they are. Many may go to “elite” universities, but they show themselves to be among the stupidest, most gullible, and morally twisted creatures on Earth. Repulsive and reprehensible doesn’t begin to describe their level of their depravity.
