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.

    I know you have two separate names, sure. You’re both still making the same idiotic argument blissfully unaware of nuance.

    No one is minimizing it. No one said it is right either, you’re being obtuse.

    I find it interesting that you are so eagerly anticipating being called racist in this thread.

    You already have and just did again.

    What things would those be exactly?

    I think you’ve lost track of the contention hence your bullshit about minimizing things.
