Did you think it was going to stay in the UK, anon?
The UK has clearly lost its marbles what with arresting comedians for making jokes and jailing blind men holding signs, but perhaps you thought it was going to stay over there in that tea infested island? We have free speech in the US, right?
LINDEN, Tn (WOPC) - A Henderson County man has been arrested for 'threats of mass violence' following a series of posts on Facebook, according to Perry County Sheriff Nick Weems.The posts were made on a Facebook forum allegedly while discussing a recent vigil for conservative activist Charlie Kirk. Larry Bushart, 61, was taken into custody in Perry County following an initial investigation."One of the images posted by Mr. Bushart eluded to a hypothetical shooting at a place called Perry High School" the Sheriff told WOPC. "That message caused considerable concern within the community and we were asked to investigate" Weems added.
Here us the best I find of what the guy actually posted:
Maybe there is some super threatening post they aren't showing, but as far as I can tell these are simple political memes. Why is this man in jail?
"This serves as a reminder that statements made on social media can have consequences" Weems told WOPC. "Threats of violence especially comments made towards our children will be investigated" the Sheriff noted.
Apparently the man was still in custody as of yesterday
