Far-left activist learns unforgettable lesson after she threatens to murder entire city council: 'See you at your house'



A far-left activist went viral over the weekend after video showed her weeping in a courtroom as a judge arraigned her on more than a dozen felonies.

Last week, 28-year-old Riddhi Patel was arrested in the middle of a Bakersfield City Council meeting after she openly communicated death threats to Mayor Karen Goh (R) and the rest of the city council.

During the public comment portion of the meeting, Patel spoke twice. At first, she voiced her outrage because the city council has not supported a resolution demanding a ceasefire in Gaza.

"You all are horrible human beings, and Jesus probably would have killed you himself," she said. "While you guys parade Gandhi around ... I remind you that these holidays that we practice, that other people in the global south practice, believe in violent revolution against their oppressors, and I hope one day somebody brings the guillotine and kills all of you motherf**kers."

Later in the meeting, Patel complained about increased security measures at city council meetings, including metal detectors. After personally attacking the politicians with her words, Patel ratcheted up her rhetoric.

"We'll see you at your house. We'll murder you," she threatened.

Patel then tried to return to her seat as if everything was normal. But Mayor Goh had other plans.

"That was a threat, what you said at the end, so officers are going to escort you out and take care of that," she said.

Patel was promptly arrested and slapped with 18 felony charges: 10 counts of threatening with the intent to terrorize a public official and eight counts of threatening certain public officials.

Patel appeared in court last Friday, where she was seen wearing a brown jail uniform. As she was arraigned, Patel was weeping uncontrollably. The judge set her bail at $1 million.

Patel identifies as nonbinary, according to KPAK-TV.

This is incredibly satisfying.

"I hope one day somebody brings the guillotine & kills all of you motherf**kers," Riddhi Patel said.

Mayor Goh is not speaking about the incident, KGET-TV reported. But councilman and Vice Mayor Andrae Gonzales said Patel's threats prove why they need increased security.

"Making real threats to elected officials and decision makers is not the way to influence others," he told KGET. "Nobody on the city council will be intimidated to action."

Patel is due back in court on April 16.

MSNBC anchor starts sobbing as he begins Jan. 6 anniversary interview — and observers mercilessly mock him



MSNBC's Jonathan Capehart started sobbing as he began a Jan. 6 anniversary interview Saturday — and observers mercilessly mocked the anchor for his emotional display.

What are the details?

Prior to interviewing Michael Fanone, a former Washington, D.C., police officer, Capehart's voice seized up and began to break as he struggled to say, "I'm gonna try to get through this."

Capehart paused to dab his nose with what appeared to be a hanky or piece of tissue.

"Thank you," Capehart then said to Fanone, his voice still shaky.

With that, the camera quickly pulled away from Capehart and focused only on Fanone — which is when Capehart's sobs were on full display.

"For what you did," Capehart blubbered, barely hanging on to his emotions, as he continued his thank you to Fanone, "three years ago today."

Fanone at first was looking at Capehart:

Then, he averted his gaze downward after Capehart shifted to full sob mode:

Regaining his composure, Capehart asked Fanone to "please tell me your thoughts on this third anniversary."

Here's the clip:

How are folks reacting?

As you might guess, Capehart's sob show annoyed a fair number of notable folks:

  • "State propaganda has reached a new level," conservative figure Collin Rugg said while calling Capehart's emotional display "unreal."
  • Libs of TikTok said, "These people are pathetic paid actors!"
  • Author Margaret Kimberley stated, "Move over Van Jones, now Jonathan Capehart is crying."
  • Conservative pundit Carmine Sabia wrote, "Jonathan Capehart — you, my man, are a woman. ... the acting is so piss poor it’s hilarious. The more they push this January-6-is-the-same-as-9/11 nonsense, the more hilarious it gets. It’s beyond desperate."
  • Podcaster Kyle Becker observed, "Capehart actually had a tissue prop on hand for this act. Pathetic!"

Believe it or not, Capehart pushed back later Saturday on X: “And I’d do it again!”

But commenters still weren't letting him off the hook.

Brandon Straka, leader of the #WalkAway movement for disgruntled Democrats, told Capehart: "You had many opportunities to do it again: your side attacked, beat, injured, and murdered police relentlessly throughout 2020. You also defunded them and demoralized them. You advocated for all of this. You didn’t cry for any of it. Weird."

Chad Prather stated bluntly, "You're an insult to vaginas."

Another commenter provided the following dose of dark humor:
