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.
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.
