https://apnews.com/article/charlie-kirk-meme-tennessee-arrest-larry-bushart-02b445f454bcfb657a48e8fa7e8ddfc9 Authorities in Tennessee have dropped a felony charge against a man who was jailed for more than a month over a Facebook post he made about the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. His arrest on a charge of threatening mass violence at a school alarmed free speech advocates, who said Perry County Sheriff Nick Weems had targeted Bushart because of his political views. Bushart was released Wednesday after prosecutors sought to dismiss the charge. Investigators believe Bushart was fully aware of the fear his post would cause and intentionally sought to create hysteria within the community, Weems said in a statement to The Tennessean last month. He spent five weeks behind bars for saying about Charlie Kirk's shooting what Donald Trump said about school shootings. I hope he wins a massive lawsuit against these people, and I hope the local taxpayers feel the sting of having to settle up. ... Copied to Clipboard!

He spent a month+ in jail for criticizing Cheeto. Those people had to tie themselves in knots to come up with that excuse that he was alluding to the school there. I don't care what they say they believed. They could believe he was a blue footed booby. They had no proof against him, and the only people acting in bad faith here were them.

BakonBitz posted... Hm. I guess the propaganda got to me, lol. I only had a passing knowledge of him (mainly that he had shitty inhumane takes).Unfortunately, yeah. The propaganda has been strong, especially after he was killed. His whole thing was being the "truth teller" with his debates and "owning the libs with facts" but a lot of his points were dead wrong. But a lot of the students he debated with would fold whenever he'd tell them what he said was a "fact" while cutting them off, so it looked like a "win" for Kirk. --- Steam/Xbox/PSN = NoxObscuras ...

UnfairRepresent posted... The silence from the "MUH FREE SPEECH!" crowd is deafeningYeah, no speech should have criminal consequences, with few exceptions (eg. threatening others, calling on others to take illegal actions, etc. Things where speech isn't staying as just speech). You can't just play both sides depending on what's convenient. Social consequences are one thing, but putting someone in jail for a joke just because it criticizes the president is supposed to be Russia/China's thing not "the land of the (supposedly) free" ...
