She definitely got a little too heated in the moment at the end (she said "we'll see you at your house, we'll murder you"), so just a heads up, the system loves to see this shit and crack down on it. (Even though elected officials can literally call for genocide and all sorts of violence on the marginalized and it's all good).

From the article:

Who is Riddhi Patel?

Riddhi Patel, 28, a pro-Palestine protestor, is accused of 16 felony counts and booked into jail on suspicion of eight counts of intending to terrorize with the threats, and the rest of eight counts of threatening city officials during her speech.

Patel’s contentious remarks directly threatened the council, stating, “You guys want to criminalize us with metal detectors,” followed by, “We’ll see you at your house. We’ll murder you.” She further escalated her rhetoric speech: “I hope one day somebody brings the guillotine and kills all of you motherf******.”
