Bushart’s case raised a firestorm of controversy after he was arrested, jailed, and slapped with a $2 million bail for a social media post. His supposed crime: making a threat of mass violence against a school in a neighboring county. In reality, all he had done was repost a meme. On Saturday, September 20, he had visited a community page, “What’s Happening in Perry County, TN,” and trolled a thread about an upcoming vigil honoring Charlie Kirk.
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.
This guy has since been released from jail, and I believe the charges were dropped. I hope he sues the SHIT out of the sheriff and others who kept him in jail for over a month.
slapped with a $2 million bail
It’s one thing for the sheriff or officers to arrest him, but who the fuck is the judge that approved this?
It’s Tennessee. Plenty of bent judges who will sign anything the cops put in front of them.
no need for judges in a fascist monarchy
