Catherine Leavy, 37, of Westfield, MA was arrested Thursday in connection with a bomb threat hoax made against the Boston Children's Hospital on August 30. Leavy supposedly made the threat because the hospital treats transgender youth.

In recent weeks, the hospital has been the target of anti-LGBTQ+, far-right harassment, including debunked claims about its treatment of transgender youth, and graphic language posted online by an extremist campaign using the handle Libs of TikTok, claiming that the hospital offers complex gender affirmation surgery to minors.

Leavy at first denied making the threat when questioned by the FBI. She however later admitted making the call once she was supplied evidence that it was made via her cell phone and was played the recording with her voice. She then went on to complain about the hospital in her interview.

A woman by Leavy's name and address has made some 200 contributions to Trump and Republican pacs. A person matching her ID had also made many posts supporting them on her Facebook page. This Facebook page also had a post that indicated that her family has tried to have her committed.

It's lucky she's not a democrat. She wouldn't have even made the back page.

Obviously the wrong way to protest against anything.

As for transgender treatments, I would leave that to the lawyers, as the lawyers on both sides of the Atlantic are going to be busy, with the closure of London's Tavistock clinic just a foretaste of what is to come.

The Tavistock Clinic is now the subject of a massive class action involving over one thousand families, and staff turn over in such clinics is high, as they are well aware of the legal cases and controversy.

Eating too much red meat gets you this.

The cost of jail, bail, fines, lawyers... ... She should have chosen vegetarianism.

Do you mean they would have treated this like they treated the guy that went to Kavanaugh's house with intent to shoot him?

Is that the type of deranged loser that Biden is warning us is the greatest threat to America we face today?

Does angry talk like a MAGA person engages in equal to being a Domestic ultra MAGA Terrorist or does one with politics on the brain have to go to someones house to shoot them to be labelled a terrorist?

I guess words speak louder than actions if you are on the right/wrong team that is...



Still Left or Right, this woman should be arrested and prosecuted for being a jerk. Calling in a bomb threat is really serious these days.

Politics has nothing to do with this. Calling in a bomb threat is against the law and she should be held accountable for her actions. Use the justice system for what it was made for and deal with this person. If she is mentally ill, commit her or get her on meds that work. But you can't force people to take meds. Sometimes they don't and they go berserk and you've got the same problem happening over and over again. This country should be taking the issue of mental illness more seriously.

No mug shot? No photo of this Catherine or Katherine Leavy? Seen it spelled both ways.

I've looked at 6 stories. Not one had a photo of her.

Weird.

It's interesting that all the coverage is focused on the "far right." The mysterious threats of the "far right."

I haven't seen any details at all about this "Catherine" or "Katherine" Leavy. Just name, age, and town.

No photo, no mug shot, no tweets, no FB page quotes, no motive, no history, no interviews of friends, relatives, neighbors. Nothing. It's like she doesn't exist.

It's a media blackout on this "Catherine" or "Katherine" Leavy.

Why?
