      I really wish I was a civil rights attorney because that guy and his attorney are going to be living well after they sue the everliving s*** out of whatever government officials have kept him incarcerated.

    2. So called “dark humor” fans when you make fun of a conservative pundit instead of a minority.

      “STRAIGHT TO JAIL”

    3. “Bushart, a retired police and corrections officer and sheriff’s deputy, has been in jail since he was booked in the early-morning hours of Sept. 22”

      Interesting background. You have to wonder what else is going on.

    4. i don’t care about any negative repercussions that may come from this, charlie deserved it. my name is john elkann, chairman of ferrari

    5. why isnt “free speech absolutist” elon musk dumping money into this guys legal battle?

      this is clearly an attack on his freedom to meme.

      They are rounding up and purging dissenting thought.

      Remove and scare the opposition.

      Revolution fucking when

      The eighth amendment:

      Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.

      What’s the charge? I’m curious.

      Edit: I googled it. He is charged with “threatening mass violence”

      The state is about to be sued to shit. The judge who signed the warrant should be sued in civil court and so should the officer who sought the warrant. On top of that the county should be sued as well.

    9. So, if you should revere Trump and Kirk, but quoting them will land you in jail. Hello, an ad quoting Reagan shut down trade talks with Canada. The Freedom of Speech illusion is done.

    10. It’s because the trump meme he posted was in reference to the Perry high school shooting. In TN, where the man lives, there is a local high school by the same name, Perry High school. Totally unrelated and more of a stretch than anything. These people are wild trying to correlate the two.

    11. free speech needs to be radically protected in all forms lest this shit keep happening, the speech you hate is most important to protect. the only speech that should be punished is direct calls to practical violence against clearly identified individuals, shouting fire in a movie theater, anything beyond that being punished is done by authoritarian personified piles of human excrement.

    12. If I say a school gets shot up no one cares cause it’s all part of the plan. But if I say one little podcaster gets killed EVERYBODY LOSES THEIR MINDS!

    13. So, threatening AOC with physical violence falls under free speech, but a joke that doesn’t threaten any violence at all is the line?

    14. How Americans can claim they’re living some great utopian dream of the land of the free when a meme post has someone locked up without being charged is beyond me. Frightening country.

      Is there anything being done anywhere for this guy? December is a long ways away. I hope when he gets out he sues these idiots into the ground somehow.

      Stopped at the gas station yesterday. Exchanged pleasantries with the dude next to me about the NE Ohio weather (ha ha). When he pulled out in his rather large pickup, (bigger than mine anyway) I noticed the *RIP Charlie* sticker on his rear window.

      Oh, well, it was nice while it lasted.
