Larry Bushart, 61, from Lexington, Tennessee – about 110 miles from Nashville – was booked into jail on September 21 for posting a meme quoting President Donald Trump when he responded to a 2024 school shooting in Perry, Iowa, saying, “We have to get over it.”
Bushart was then arrested and charged with making threats of mass violence on school property and activities.
The dropping of the charges came after NewsChannel 5 aired an interview on Wednesday with Weems in which he admitted that investigators knew the meme was not about a school shooting, but authorities were responding to community anxiety.
When you get to sue for damages you get to sue for is based upon what the defendant is worth.
Pretty sure losing your job qualifies as damages.
Nashville ain’t broke.
Homeboy don’t need a job no more. This case is a slam dunk. This is at least 7 figures, guaranteed.
I hope he has the money to do so.
ACLU works for free in cases as easy as this. Because they know they’ll get their money.
It is a slam dunk. They let him out and dropped charges. They’ve literally admitted fault already.

Oh I guess they should just roll over and not sue. Obey in advance and let authoritarianism press on.
The case is still a slam dunk. Cut the doomer bullshit.
