"Yes, we knew, but the public did not know."; -Perry County, TN Sheriff Nick Weems
admitting knowledge at time of Larry
Bushart's arrest, for the duration of his
37 day detention that it was over political
speech, on grounds of ignorance on the
part of the public. "And what was Bushart's 'crime'?" you might ask. He replied to an X
post about Charlie Kirk's
assassination with a post
headed "This seems relevant"
accompanying a reposted meme
of Trump saying "We have to get
over it." concerning a mass shooting which
happened at Perry High School... in Iowa. Let that sink in, folks... Mr. Bushart, as Sheriff
Weems confirmed, was
arrested and jailed not because
he committed a crime but because he
engaged in snarky, call-back political speech
about a subject of which the general public
of his hometown was allegedly ignorant.
