    For anyone wondering what he actually posted:

    Larry Bushart Jr., 61, a former police officer, posted a meme of President Donald Trump in the Perry County community group page as members of the page were organizing a vigil to honor Kirk.

    In response, Bushart posted a meme of Trump that featured a photo of the president with a quote he gave just one day after a 2024 mass shooting at Perry High School in Iowa

    “‘We have to get over it.’ – Donald Trump, on the Perry High School mass shooting one day after,” the text on the meme read.

    However, members of the group interpreted Bushart’s post as a threat against their local high school, which is also called Perry County High School.

    This is ‘threatening violence’? Absolute horseshit.

      Oh. I was surprised as I assumed (from the headline) a far right terrorist got arrested under a far right terrorist dictatorship, but it makes perfect sense now that it’s actually about far right terrorists falsely accusing — terrorizing — an anti-fascist, for the crime of truth; calling out their hypocrisy.

    ICE is out there literally committing violence against people daily, yet these sheltered momos screech about violence the moment someone posts a meme on their Facebook page. They have no idea what the world out there is actually like, the world they helped create by voting in fucking monsters
