Jailed in Tennessee after quoting Trump...

[cnm]

He is upset a progressive got arrested for breaking the law

Where charges were dropped, that law breaking?

 

[RetiredGySgt]

This is kind of a gray area. I think a $2 MIL jailing is a bit over kill.

Thats right they did try and talk to the guy already.

So WTF !

a Sheriff doesn't charge anyone with a crime and doesn't set bail so at least 2 other people a lawyer and a Judge agreed it was a crime, and the Judge thought it was so egregious it rated such a high bail

AI makes good summaries. But can give out information that is contrary to known reality if asked the right question. Who said what and when is not one of those. Of course nearly everything is recorded these day so yeah plenty of links out there to prove who said what.

You can ask AI to provide links. I always ask for them and get them. It’s lazy and unreliable not to.

I know all that from past experances but $2 MIL.

I could see if he explain his plan and had weapons.

$2 MIL is a lot...in this day and age.

Could somebody have lied to the judge to make the meme seem like an ominous threat?

Could there be a history and animosity between the two?

Questions questions questions. That's all I got.

You're asking them too much.

The Sherrif is saying he is inciting violence with this post.

The sheriff is lying.

The Sherrif is saying he is inciting violence with this post. He is saying that he is inciting someone to mass shoot up Perry High School...

He is has spent a month in jail already for this meme... $2m bond...

He was only reposting it by the way...

Trump did say this?

Trump tells supporters 'we have to get over it' after Iowa school shooting

His comments came after nearly 36 hours of silence and a day after his GOP rivals addressed the shooting that took the life of a sixth grade student and injured others.

Why is this important.

You have no clue about who is or is not lying, you are taking a political stand. Your stance is bigoted and fascism.

 

[CowboyTed]

Until you read the rest of the story.

they agreed that the meme in the OP is why they arrested him...

There is no threat of violence in that...

He was clearly saying if your local high school has a mass shooting then Trump will tell you to 'get over it'...

That is not a threat...

 

[CowboyTed]

We haven't seen the whole discussion chain in Facebook that is referenced. all you have is an assumed meme that was referenced in the arrest warrant, but wasn't said to be the actual reason for the arrest.

Cowboy ****'s post is all assumption, no actual facts.

Sheriff said that was the meme he was arrested for...

His words... 2:30 on the video...

So I say he has a good case for false arrest... There is no way that even if there was a law that arrest was ever constitutional...

A civil rights lawyer is going to have a field day on this one....

They arrested someone put him in jail for a month without evidence of breaking the law...

The judge was just presented with charges of inciting a mass murder in a school and set the bail at $2m. Judge doesn't look at the evidence at that time just the charges...

"The length of wrongful detention is a major factor in determining compensation amounts. Typically, longer periods of wrongful detention result in higher compensation due to the increased disruption and distress caused. Victims of wrongful arrest can expect to receive around $1,000 for each hour they are wrongfully jailed, though this amount can increase with aggravating circumstances."

I don't think this is corruption, could be very well be incompetence.

He certainly didn't appear to be the sharpest knife in the drawer.

 

[martybegan]

Nice defense of the New Republican ideal of baseless, sick jokes used against victims of political violence on my side. So You're saying over 70% I suppose.

Your defense is that some radical nuts jobs represent my side. But the things the leaders of the Neo-GOP do and say aren't representative of the New Republicans.

That violence wasn't political, the guy was some free love hippie weirdo.

in what context?

The rest of the discussion needs to be released.

Free speech in the age of trumpy. America is under assault.

There are local areas where the law enforcement and judicial entities seem to work together to close. Real comfortable with each other. And this was before Trump no matter the politics.

 

[ColonelAngus]

Lefty cult *****, if Trump is so evil, why do you have to lie about him and lift quotes out of context?

He is HITLER. No need to lie about his evil deeds.
