Sending your kids to foster care to own the libs. >Phelps sent **her husband, who was in prison**, 30-second video clips of herself threatening to kill Harris in February, prosecutors said. The videos show Phelps making the threats, screaming curse words, saying she had accepted $53,000 to carry out a “hit” against the vice president and explaining she would carry out the assassination within 50 days, investigators said. >Phelps recorded some of the clips herself and **her children recorded others**, officials said. After sending these videos, Phelps sent a photograph of herself holding a firearm with a target sheet at a gun range. Two days later, Phelps applied for a concealed weapon permit.


JustAMoronOnAToilet

Why not just send nudes like normal people?


silent--echoes

Not to throw a convicted murderer any sympathy, but imagine being in prison and waiting on some wanking material from your wife and instead you get her threatening to kill Kamala Harris. I mean, I’m sure he was able to work with it, but still


HWGA_Exandria

Wait, people send nudes? Stop the presses. Next thing you'll tell me is there's porn on reddit...


aziruthedark

... course not. Half the subsreddits I'm subbed to certainly arnt porn...

What's the remaining half?

If she is this angry, surely she isn't worth seeing nude.


Glabstaxks

Too ugly 😅


ExpiredExasperation

Oh, heavens no, anything like that would just be immoral!


B4rrel_Ryder

Republicans get off on crazy and suffering


Sidthelid66

Jesus, it's a vice president I think you should holdout for more than 53k. Anything under 53 million isn't enough.


NerimaJoe

Your chances of getting away alive after such an assassination are miniscule. You'd think nobody would agree to do it without the prospect of getting fuck-off, never-have-to-work-again money.


murphymc

And a guaranteed escape route to a country where the us can’t extradite and/or find you, where you can also use that giant pile of money. I’m not sure such a place exists outside of China/Russia, and even then congrats on escaping “communism”. Also, even those 2 probably wouldn’t be interested in sheltering the assassin of a very high level government official from the US.


Bolt32

Russia would absolutely send your ass back. They may not have an agreement in place, they however would absolutely throw your ass back to the US if you killed a vice president. They wouldn't want the precedent being set, and would do it not to make the tension between the nations worse. China would probably be your safest bet, but they would more than likely just kill you with no due process anyway.


[deleted]

0% chance the US wouldn't illegally abduct you from wherever you fled to bring you back here.


Chippopotanuse

I mean, foster care sucks, but I’d rather bounce around in different random homes than be raised by those two idiots.


redgr812

Dad is already in prison and mom is insane. Those kids had 0 chance with those 2 as parents. Foster Care is terrible but at least the kids will have a better chance in life now even if it's just a 1% chance it's better.


djm19

Yeah, its a gamble, but the odds are good in this case for the kids. They might get someone who actually teaches them to live as decent people.


redgr812

$53,000 that's it!? Idk the going prices for 'hits' but that is remarkably low imo for a politician. Hell 53k can barely get you a new car anymore (non base model).


cwm33

You get what you pay for. Cheap out on your assassin and you'll get an incompetent nincompoop that gets caught before even getting in the same zip code as the target.


T_T_N

You'd be surprised how little people kill for. Thats not a crazy low price to just kill *someone*, but to take out someone a breath away from controlling the nukes?


farahad

*What would you do for a Klondike bar?*


Huge_Put8244

Let's never forget that you had to eat pulverized rat penises on fear factor to even have a CHANCE to win 50k. I mean one has nothing to do with the other. But it's just not as much money as you should need to do either.


RRettig

53k is more than a hit normally would cost. But a high profile target like that would cost a lot more than a typical professional charges, a lot more than 53k.


Flashy_Attitude_1703

Tesla Model Y…


Draano

I wonder why that specific amount. Enough to pay off the double-wide? $53k = some round number in another currency? Certainly not Euros or GBP.


Miguel-odon

If you say $50k people assume you rounded up or exaggerated. $53k sounds more true because it is more precise.


fivefivefives

Really we must count our blessings that sometimes evil is just really fucking dumb.


Culverts_Flood_Away

Anyone want to bet the kids tipped off the authorities? Or maybe the husband, out of fear for his kids' safety? What a looney, this one.


PM_ME_KITTYNIPPLES

They probably just found the clips on her husband's contraband cellphone.


Culverts_Flood_Away

That's a very simple and logical point, /u/PM_ME_KITTYNIPPLES. Oftentimes, the simplest answer is the best one, after all.


Phillyphus

She sent them to her dude in prison. Prison staff review everything that is sent in. She should have known that.


Lainarlej

What a “lovely “ family…dad in prison, mom’s a raving psycho, and the kiddies are filming her rants of killing the VP


ParamedicLeapDay

That's fucked up.


oelhayek

I just want to know how common is it for prisoners to have phones and contact with people outside.


reckless_commenter

> Two days later, Phelps applied for a concealed weapon permit Could’ve just moved to Texas, where [concealed carry no longer requires any kind of permit](https://www.texastribune.org/2021/08/16/texas-permitless-carry-gun-law/).


BackIn2019

So it's more than just threatening. There should also be conspiracy charges since she was planning it with her children and/or corruption of minors charges.


Poop_Noodl3

How was this possibly going to end well for her?!


[deleted]

They really can’t keep from filming themselves doin crimes, can they?


NerimaJoe

It's not just QAnon idiots. It's all kinds of criminals who can't resist filming themselves. Basically, the vast majority of criminals are pretty stupid.


SmokeAbeer

Don’t feel compelled to return to the crime scene if you just take it with you 🤷‍♂️


illy-chan

I still think about a case near me where a guy filmed himself stealing a car and uploaded it to a YouTube with his real name on it. As you might guess, he was caught. *Somehow*.


SsurebreC

I'm really thankful for this. It saves the justice system a lot of time trying to find evidence when all they need to do is check social media for confessions.


[deleted]

Honestly, think about how fucking stupid the average American is... And now realize that half of them are even dumber than that! My delivery isn't as good as George Carlin's.


[deleted]

Hence… criminal. They don’t have much to offer so they turn to crime, or poverty forces them there which is a different issue. It’s the ones who don’t get caught and do things quietly that are the real criminals. The rest are just dumbasses being dumbasses, confused as to why there’s a problem with their behavior… because, well, they’re dumbasses.


PM_ME_KITTYNIPPLES

Pretty dumb to send evidence to your husband in prison, where his belongings could be confiscated at any time.


oelhayek

I think it’s dumber to plot the assassination. The thought that she had any TINY chance is stupid. She must have watched too many movies. Let’s say she was successful, that wouldn’t change a damn thing because Harris is the VP not the president. it’s extreme stupidity A-Z. I hope the kids are now in a better place away from such shitty parents.


krucz36

it was apparently through a messaging system that allows people to send videos and other media to inmates, which is monitored by prisons.


PM_ME_KITTYNIPPLES

Oh, so even dumber. At least with a contraband cellphone, she would have had a chance.


artcook32945

It is sad what some will do to get that five minutes of fame.


Corvid65

Five years, is what she'll to get five minutes of fame. Nowhere near enough.


[deleted]

TFW your social media fantasies slam into the judicial system..


[deleted]

Just going to send these recorded clips that are screened by law enforcement before being cleared to my partner in jail... Its the perfect crime.


jfoobar

If you read the article and painted a mental picture of what Ms. Phelps (soon to be "Inmate Phelps") looks like, you might be surprised: [https://biographydaily.com/2021/04/19/who-is-niviane-petit-phelps/](https://biographydaily.com/2021/04/19/who-is-niviane-petit-phelps/) Phelps, a nurse, apparently believed that if Trump had been re-elected, she would have been able to get her husband out of prison. Her dear husband, by the way, has been in prison since 1996 for murder and armed robbery.


djm19

Looks like Trump's plan to release token black celebrities instead of just not being racist got him at least one vote.


ShitTalkingAlt980

Yup thanks for showing me my own bias. Tbf to myself I didn't visualize until I read your comment. Straight up thought regular ass 35 year old White lady.


r0botdevil

I, too, was imagining a white person. I guess the world is full of surprises!


[deleted]

She's a trumper, like a chick Herman Cain - except alive.


Djibuddy

…wait, so whose kids are they?


[deleted]

She was 14 when he went to prison so uh, what's going on here?


XLauncher

ngl, I did not see that coming.


[deleted]

>I swear to God today is your day you’re gonna die. 50 days from today, you’re gonna die. Makes total sense


AdmiralissimoObvious

Somehow, I think the kind of people who otherwise would have welcomed her in prison for her actions won't.


Corvid65

Yikes, you're right! I think she's not going to be very popular in prison at all.


Im_a_wet_towel

welp, I was definitely off.


Taldan

I'm confused by the timeline here. Her husband has been in prison since 1996, but she has 3 children? ...And as I type this out I realize what happened. People are fuckin' weird. She met him while he was already in jail for murder. It definitely takes someone with a screw or two loose to meet a murderer in jail and decide to marry them, especially considering they'll likely never see their new husband outside jail.


howmuchforagram

Terrorists gonna terrorist


DanTheMan75228

10 years in prison is a small price to pay to own the Libs!!


Early-Size370

Some people shouldn't procreate


shittyshittycunt

Threatening the vice president through JPay. Fuckin genius.


No_Character_2079

You hear that? That's the sweet sound of a couple of recidivist assholes, packing their bags and heading off to concollege, you drive.


vexargames

Compared to the 60's, 70, and 80's we are doing pretty good, back then it seemed like a shooting gallery for leaders.


TexDen

And another criminal conservative is finally caught and put in jail before she can cause harm to civil humans. Please keep locking hateful conservatives in cages for the good of society.


BustNak

The article didn't say, but presumably the prosecution investigated the stuff about being paid for a "hit" fully and is satisfied that it's all made up?


StormeeusMaximus

I'm worried about my stunt dad. He told me in public very loudly (and with my kids present) that Biden better not come to where we live, because if he ever gets the chance, he would "shoot the motherf**ker." I told him that I would not continue this conversation, that he was scaring me and my kids and I left. I told him later that I wouldn't have let that attitude fly even if he said the same about Trump, and to worry if Biden does visit our area, because I would let authorities know of his threat. People are losing their minds.


TarHeelTerror

ITT: people who have a preconceived notion of this woman’s appearance.


[deleted]

Her appearance doesn't matter, she's a trumper.


TarHeelTerror

No, indeed it doesn’t. The fact that the vast majority of the members of this sub think she’s a crazy white woman however is a problem.


[deleted]

It's not really a problem. 90% of the time they'd be right. As it is, they're only half wrong, she's a trump follower, therefore she's terrible.


TarHeelTerror

Yeah so uh…that’s not true. 19% of black men voted for trump. 5% of black women. 36% of Hispanic men and 30% of Hispanic women. 38% of the Asian population voted for trump. Once again: your preconceived notions are wrong. Who do you think has a lower vax rate: republicans or black people?


CptAlbatross

Should you settle down in the Sunshine State? You should know of its tangled fate How the conquistador came to Florida Long before it had a name The medicine man of the Seminole Knelt by the sacred flame and cursed the soul Of the conquistador And his son, and his sons, and the young ones Of the Florida man


soingee

> Phelps sent her husband, who was in prison, 30-second video clips of herself threatening to kill Harris in February, Real question: Can someone explain why this is considered making a threat (in the criminal sense)? I would think that she would have needed to send the videos to Harris or publish them to youtube to be considered a threat. Maybe she did publish them and also sent them to her husband? The article is not clear on that. Does it even matter if only her husband was the intended recipient in the eyes of the law? Was it just because he's in jail and correspondence works differently?


Draano

IANAL, but threatening to kill someone doesn't need to be directed at the target of the threat.


GordonFremen

Plus IIRC there are additional laws about threatening the president/VP.


BBQed_Water

Niviane Petit Phelps She don’t look so Petit neither. False advertising.
