  1. >Bushart’s crime? Directly quoting Donald Trump on this Facebook page.

    >One of his posts was a photo of President Donald Trump, along with the quote **“We have to get over it,”** drawing from his response to a school shooting in Perry, Iowa, in 2024. 

    Saved you a click

  2. Not only that, this man, who is 61, was jailed for FIVE WEEKS. As a result, he lost his job. And he’s 61, so we all know how difficult it will be for him to get a new job at his age.

    If I were him, my first phone call upon release would be to the ACLU.

  3. This is why I quit all social media and throwaway my reddit account every few months

  4. It’s so crazy what’s going on in the USA. As a German, I’m really afraid because they say what happens in the USA will happen here a few years later

  9. The sheriff, the judge the city and everybody else you can think of of more than the 2M bail that was put on him.

  10. At least he didn’t quote Ronald Regan — he’d have been accused of being Canadian and been deported (probably not to Canada)

    /s

  11. >In his interview with NewsChannel 5, Sheriff Weems insisted all of this could have been avoided if Bushart had just deleted the meme that some people in Perry County found objectionable.
    “Whenever we sent Lexington Police Department out to speak to him and he refused to do that, I mean, what kind of person does that?” Weems asked. “What kind of person just says he don’t care?”

    > He also referenced the public reaction to Bushart’s post, which the sheriff claims resulted in people thinking the post was about a shooting in the area. Those who actually viewed the post and the page have pointed out that no one commented on the meme with anything that resembled concern Bushart might be referencing the local high school.

    >Sheriff Weems has continued to insist he’s done nothing wrong, despite body cam footage from the arresting officers making it clear the sheriff lied to journalists during this interview and while making other comments to the press. 

    >Lexington police told The Intercept that Weems had lied when he told local news outlets that the forces had “coordinated” to offer Bushart a chance to delete the post prior to his arrest. Confronted with the bodycam footage, Weems denied lying, claiming that his investigator’s report must have been inaccurate, NewsChannel 5 reported.

    >Weems later admitted to NewsChannel 5 that “investigators knew that the meme was not about Perry County High School” and sought Bushart’s arrest anyway, supposedly hoping to quell “the fears of people in the community who misinterpreted it.” That’s as close as Weems comes to seemingly admitting that his intention was to censor the post.

    Looks like Sheriff Weems has got himself in to a whole heep’a trouble. 

  13. The charges were bogus and they knew it. This is blatantly violating the first amendment and meant to be an act of intimidation.

    Sucks they will probably get away with it.

  15. Being jailed for mean social media posts. 

    Magats keep trying to turn this country into Saudi Arabia 

  17. Sherrifs…
    Some of those are Sooo very scary…

  18. Saw an interview with the arresting sheriff. Somewhere in the first two minutes, you can notice that the significance of what his department did, is just starting to become clear to him

  19. So the judge was in on it too? Wasn’t it a judge that required a 2 million bond?

  20. Yeh we know. Update us when the sheriff gets what he’s due.

  21. Everyone involved illegally kidnapping this man for 5 weeks should get a minimum of 25 years no possibility of parole in a federal prison. Freedom of speech is the backbone of this country. MAGA, republicans, American nazis, democrats, immigrants, independents should all be up in arms over this

  23. That’ll teach the libruls for making the M+M lady less sexy! /s

  24. Charlie Kirk fans: “I love my dead gay racist podcaster!”

  26. But they think women should not have the right to vote because they’re too emotional huh? Conservatives men are literally the most emotional, fragile and illogical people I’ve ever seen

  27. Sit in jail for 5 weeks for a couple million, sure thing.

  28. One step closer to being arrested for holding up a blank piece of paper

  29. This is horrible.

    Fast forward 4 weeks, this will seem tame.

    Fast forward 4 months, all record of this will have been removed and things will be FAR FAR worse.

    Don’t even get me started on 3’ish years from now.

  32. That’s why I posted Kirk being shot art on my IG, what you gonna do, drone strike me?

  33. It’s not what you do, it’s the tribe you are in.

    The absolute shitstain of “morality” on the right is completely evil.

  35. So this seems like a slam dunk lawsuit, and probably justifies criminal charges of wrongful imprisonment on the sheriff in question.

  37. congrats on the payout for getting arrested for political speech
