A retired Tennessee law enforcement officer was held in jail for more than a month this fall after police arrested him over a Facebook post of a meme related to the September assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.

Prosecutors eventually dropped the criminal charge brought against Larry Bushart, but his stint behind bars came to exemplify the country’s tense political and legal climate following the tragedy, when conservatives sought to stymie public discourse about the late controversial figure that it saw as objectionable.

Now, Bushart is suing over his incarceration.

    Maybe I am…

    Or maybe agreeing to answer a non-yes/no question in a strictly yes/no fashion is a fast track to getting your head stuck up your ass, which is why I won’t answer your’s unconditionally. You didn’t answer my question, per the deal, I don’t have to answer yours.

    All I did was flip the table around and made you eat your own poisoned meal.

    This is a good time to bow out by the way, before you dig a deeper hole.

      No you are. I gave you an actual yes or no. You tried to weasel your way out with bigoted bullshit. Btw I own my home but sure, project away bud.

      Ok is it a fact or not if that is a better format. They mean the same thing since facts can generally be substantiated with yes/no correct/incorrect.

      No what you did was from a question that’s disparaging to me with either answer. It isn’t accurate either but clearly accuracy is not something you care about and we’ll just ignore the bigoted bullshit included with it.

      Or it’s a time for you to answer a yes no or ask a less bigoted question.

        Eh, I had a nice reply typed up, but I just deleted it. Talking to you is a never-ending clown show. I’m sure I’ll spot someone saying some more braindead shit in a few weeks and I’ll look up and see your username again. I get a laugh, because it’s like the same 3 people on the whole fediverse that keep writing or defending some of the stupidest shit I’ve ever seen.
