The type of person who arrested him:
Christofascist nutjob.
Who the fuck let him become sheriff?! America is a seriously messed up place.
Oh, sherrif is an elected position in Tennessee.
So other christofascist nutjobs.
This is true almost everywhere in the US.
which has benefits if people en large act in good faith.
Perry County, Tennessee is only 8,300 people. There are only a few towns in LA metro smaller than that. Both LA and Orange Counties have had corrupt sheriff’s that were sentenced to jail. Imagine what it would be like in a county where everyone personally knows your family and there are very few checks and balances on power?
collapsed inline media
It must be like living in Idiocracy there.
I saw a docu about places like this once. People don't dare to express non-Republican political opinions let alone openly support one. Violence threatened and carried out. And of course election isn't quite as secret as you'd think. Voting anyhthing but Trump requires balls.
Haha brutal! Not surprising!
Acab is true but the way Sheriffs work makes them extra Acab its literally unbelievable.
As others have pointed out, the sheriff is an elected position. All you have to do is move in the right circles, and out in the boonies those circles are the local church(es) and republican party.
Paranoia is a disease unto itself
And may I add
The person standing to you
May not be who they appear to be
So take precautions
haikubot, is that you? ❤️
haikus don't have a sweet bass line like this
It’s as Jesus said: “Do unto others as you suspect them of potentially doing unto you.”
