[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A former police officer in TN posted some memes in a pro-Charlie Kirk facebook group. One of these memes included a direct quote from Trump stating “we have to get over it” the *day after* a shooting at Perry HS in Iowa. Bushart commented that “this seems relevant today,” clearly pointing out the disconnect between national mourning of a pro-gun podcaster, while our own president thinks 24 hours is sufficient time to move on from a school shooting.

Unfortunately for Bushart he lives in a town full of idiots in TN who took this as a threat (wiiiillld stretch) because there is a Perry HS in that town. Allegedly he was clearly “trying to invoke panic” that he was plotting to commit violence at the local HS.

Never mind the fact this meme/quote has widely been circulated on the internet and that Bushart routinely posts in favor of gun reform.

But he made fun of Trump and wasn’t sad about Charlie Kirk, so now he is incarcerated on $2M bond. He won’t have a hearing until December. One more step to punish someone for criticizing the president.

What are the MAGA excuses for this one? Don’t they supposedly love the first amendment?

"Why won't the Right just let us abuse their free speech without any blowback when they're in power?"

Oh look, the same people who were cheering Douglas Mackey being tried and convicted for a meme about voting for Hillary Clinton are now suddenly free speech warriors.

Free speech for me, not for thee.
