A pro-Palestine protester who is Indian-American threatened California lawmakers at a council meeting, telling them she will murder them at the Bakersfield meeting Wednesday.
They had met to discuss calls back a motion calling on Israel to declare a ceasefire – the motion they later rejected.
The Threats She Made
Standing at a microphone during public comments, Riddhi Patel, 28 said: ‘I hope one day somebody brings the guillotine and kills all of you mother******.
‘You guys want to criminalize us with metal detectors, we’ll see you at your house, we’ll murder you.’
‘Jesus Would Have Killed You Himself’
She raged on: ‘I don’t have faith that you’ll do this. You’re all horrible human beings, and Jesus would have probably killed you himself.’
‘And none of you care because you guys don’t care about anything happening in Palestine or any other country where oppression occurs.’
‘You guys, those who votes to win in Bakersfield, parade Gandhi around and a Hindu holiday called Chaitra Navaratri that starts off this week,’ she said.
‘I remind you that these holidays that we practice, that other people in the global south practice, believe in violent revolution against their oppressors.’Â

She Was Arrested and Charged
But two days later, Patel’s tough talk vanished as she was seen sobbing uncontrollably in court on Friday after being arrested and charged over her threats.
She now faces 18 felony counts including terror charges – and now likely has even more to cry about, as she was ordered back to jail after her hearing, in lieu of $2 million bond.
