They have to pay retired cop Larry Bushart $835,000 for sharing a post disparaging Donald Trump after Charlie Kirk's assassination, which it turns out is not illegal.
if someone was to shoot the president of your country dead in a mass shooting event, you still would have the 2A crowd screaming 'from my cold dead hands' - that is how bad the situation in your country has got with regards to guns
Unfortunately, it was the town’s insurance company who paid - so the citizens ended up paying for the sheriff’s deprivation of civil rights. If it came out of the sheriff’s pocket, it might have a much bigger deterrent effect on future bad behavior.
The sheriff’s statement about always prioritizing school safety (which had nothing to do with the original post or the violation of first amendment rights) was included with the settlement - why?

When I first heard that Charlie Kirk had been shot, I immediately thought, “I hope he doesn’t die because the right will make him into a martyr.”
Then the right exceeded my expectations by going on a crusade, egged on by people like J Divan the Couchfucker, to punish anyone who wasn’t respectfully mourning the patron saint of white Christian nationalism.
This case was just the most egregious example, but lots of people lost their jobs over this dipshit’s death.
They're probably all in court, hopefully. The silver lining, however, is that Americans didn't fall for their ridiculous attempt to martyrize squishy face. They spent a lot of our tax dollars and time pushing that narrative as hard as they could and yet, bupkus. He's not a martyr; most Americans still don't know who the fuck he was.
“This led teachers, parents and students to conclude he was talking about a hypothetical shooting at our school,” he said. “Numerous reached out in concern.”
Great piece Robyn
“We have to get over it.” sez the man who will never stop whinging over the 2020 election, Biden beating him, the “Russia, Russia, Russia” case, etc.
Because dead schoolkids can be forgotten in a day, but any blow to Trump’s enormous ego is FOREVER.
Ta, Robyn. Has any Republican currently serving in office READ the Constitution of the United States and the Bill of Rights?
So if I post a meme saying... never mind.

....."stupid is as stupid does.....and you all sure enough does.....
first let me state this is not a threat:

Very Very Weird because Donald Trump is self-disparaging!
"sharing a post disparaging Donald Trump after Charlie Kirk's assassination, which it turns out is not illegal."
Yet...
Huh, consequences. How quaint!

And now their insurance rates will go up, which will also be covered by taxpayers.

It's not "Officials" or "The State" paying him, it's taxpayers.
Considering what I often post, these yahoos would lock me for life plus 99 years.

I thought the same thing.
His wife isn't one. Her career's gotten an incomparable boost.

If didn’t help their cause that his widow was going on stage all bedazzled and surrounded by pyrotechnics.
And dry-humping JD.
His funeral was a joke. Nobody watched. They tried to make it a spectacle so people would watch but they failed.
But it did crash Grindr.
“Numerous reached out in concern.” Is this like "many people are saying..."?
It is exactly like that.
With tears... "sir".

That never happened. Lying is a sin.
