		<description>I have made many similar comments in frustration. But I would never act on them. People should not be arrested for what they say, only for what they do. She was obvious frustrated.</description>

		<description>REGARDING:
“Can we really base her character NOW on what she did at age 22?”

Nope. 
In fact the fact that she seems to have been clean since then implied she changed her ways.
This may be a temporary setback to the way of thinking she had back then, assuming she hasn’t been threatening others who simply didn’t report it out of fear or pity.

“I’m not the same person anymore.”

You are what you do.
You do what you are.
If you do bad things, you are a bad person.
If you stop doing bad things, you stop being a bad person.
If you go back to doing bad things,…..

“To me, it sounds a whole lot like Natasha was being a bully. “you do this… or else!”. Why should anyone have to put up with that?”

It does seem to read that way and nobody should have to put up with that.

I congratulate Gulf Power for standing up for their workers.

		<description>@david - I like that you pointed out when her last conviction was (2006)...and 2004 was the date of the cocaine conviction. Can we really base her character NOW on what she did at age 22? I made a lot of decisions/mistakes at 22 (didnt get caught)....and i&#039;m not the same person anymore. On the other hand...I&#039;ve never threatened to blow someone up. :-/ 

I have, however, been 2 months late on my electricity bill. I have 2 kids, i work a 40hr job, I live paycheck to paycheck. I have empathy for people because i&#039;ve been in that situation. I called the power company, made arrangements to pay 1 months bill on Friday (payday) and they did NOT cut my power off. So, the fact that they would not &quot;work with her&quot; poses the question(s): had she already called and gotten an extension? was she not offering to pay the &quot;past due&quot; balance on her next payday? does she have a &quot;pay day&quot; to speak of? 

To me,  it sounds a whole lot like Natasha was being a bully. &quot;you do this... or else!&quot;. Why should anyone have to put up with that?</description>

		<description>REGARDING:
@David, Except her intent or THE REASON she called Gulf Power was to make payment arrangements.”

True, and that was fine as long as she was just doing that. 
The problem came in when she resorted to extortion to force them to make arrangements acceptable to her. 
Reportedly she threatened to kill the people working there unless they yielded..

Sure, we mostly figure she was lying when she threatened to kill all of them unless they let her keep using electricity without paying for it. 
She probably WAS lying. 
She probably didn’t intend to kill akk those people just doing their jobs, 
probably didn’t know HOW to kill them with explosives, 
would probably have calmed down ere she killed all of them anyway.
 
I just don’t see where people minding their own business should HAVE to worry about whether or not the person threatening to kill them really meant it and would do it.

AND
“You can’t be concerned about the priorities you mention if you aren’t willing to see the context of the information.”

Enlighten me. 

How are my priorities off when I am concerned with the people being threatened more than the lady threatening them?

AND
“Hopefully if this goes to trial a recording of the conversation will be available and be made public.”

Yes, that would be good. 
If it turns out she wasn’t really practicing extortion, the jury will surely go lightly on her when it goes to trial in a few months or years.

		<description>REGARDING:
&quot;Henry YOU are RUDE AND HEARTLESS!!!!&quot;

Yes, shame on you Henry for not being more sympathetic to this dear lady who threatened to kill everybody working in that building. You should have waited until she killed them all then maybe it is still rude to say she was bad.
(come on folks, have you no priorities? a threat to kill is a threat to kill)

David for better priorities</description>

		<description>Yes she made a mistake. Yes she said something she shouldn&#039;t have. Has anybody else been upset and let some things fly out your mouth that shouldn&#039;t have. I would understand if she called and said hey I&#039;m gonna blow up the building but this was said out of frustration that built up over a conversation. 
Simmer down GP simmer down.</description>

		<description>@ Henry 
  Yea she called GP to make arrangements for payment by threating to blow up the place. If she was two months behind she should have called when she couldn&#039;t pay the first months bill. Henry you can call GP and have them add extra money to you bill to  help people like her it&#039;s just a phone call away. Have a friend who was going to have power cut off had a check in my hand to give her for $348.00 to pay it till she stated she had to go as she was meeting another friend  to head off to Windcreek Casino. Tore up check and to this day I do not feel sorry for them when power is cut off. Priorities all messed up.</description>
