More likely, she'll get a 100k settlement for the violation of her first amendment rights.

She won't since her next words were, "You're next."

"You're Next" is a prediction, not a threat. She is predicting the potentiality of a copycat with similar motives. She is fully within her first amendment rights to do that.

Her statement was enough to justify an investigation, but it was not enough to justify an arrest, or the bringing of charges. So, I predict that she has a good case for a settlement, and I predict that the amount of that settlement will be $100,000.
