He quoted Trump saying 'We need to just get over it' about the Perry High School shooting in Iowa.
What he said wasn't even hateful, it was a fucking quote.

Well, it was from Trump, so it was a pretty hateful quote, to be fair
The same guy who said Rob Reiner "died due to TDS"?
Its OK when Chavez he president does it

And not even close to encouraging breaking the law. I've heard politicians have essentially the same "let's move on" attitude about school shootings.
Some politicians wear AR-15 pins. I wish I was joking.
All Kimmel did was play clips of trump.
I got in trouble with Facebook once for quoting Trump's thing about how he could shoot someone without losing supporters. If it isn't appropriate to say on Facebook, it isn't appropriate to say in a presidential campaign!
I created a Facebook page called "Fled Cruz", the profile picture was Rafael "Ted" Cruz and the only thing I posted was quotes of his tweets, Facebook shut it down for hate speech. They denied the appeal and deleted the entire page.
Fuck the Zuck
As he should, absolutely his first amendment right was violated.
If the right can spout pure hatred and bullshit with impunity, so can everyone else.

(From the article)
This is the image they jailed him for.
This should be a slam dunk win for him. Blatant political retribution. The people who jailed him should be jailed, disbarred, fined, etc., the citizens shouldn’t have to pay the court award for their fascism.
May I say thanks for the pixelation. I'm serious, it's tiring looking at his ugly clueless face all the time.
It's amazing how expressive that face is, simultaneously conveying limitless malice and stupidity. The face of a child rapist? It's believable.

Are you fucking kidding me? He simply quoted Trump and got jail time? What a fucking joke.

The US has lost their license to roast us (the rest of the world) for saying mean things on the internet and getting a vist from the police. Welcome to the club you fat bitch.
I assure you the United States has both people who will continue to try making that roast, and people who never felt like they had that freedom in the first place.

Then they came for the retired law enforcement
...
And I said nothing because ACAB
Okay, that's pretty funny.
I do wonder, if the roles were reversed, would he have refused orders to make the arrest?

Was there ever a time that Republicans actually stayed true to their principles when it wasn’t to their advantage?
In my life experience I honestly can’t think of a time.
Like 60+ years ago, before the Southern Strategy, yes.
They have been corrupt selfish assholes my entire life.
Almost 100% of the time actually. You gotta think, what are republican principles? The answer is hate and bigotry, and the vast majority have stuck to that in spades.

At least he is American and can sue. Some immigrants were deported and had their lives destroyed just because they had their opinions
Excited to be in the Supermax Prison built entirely for people who reposted illegal memes.
There will be an entire cell block for people that post this.
It's called America
Turns out being a cop doesn't protect you from the regime.
Wish all the law enforcement officers who voted for a convicted felon and adjudicated rapist realized that before voting for a convicted felon and adjudicated rapist.
Cops often grew up under similar circumstances to many people who joined gangs. Being a cop is just being part of the biggest most untouchable gang of them all.

Kirk hasn't said anything racist in a while.
Looks like we found a cure for racism
Now that the emotion has died down and I can look at Charlie Kirk’s assassination as a whole and what came of it, i can confidently say that the world feels slightly better without Charlie Kirk in it. I don’t mourn him.
Let's not use the opinionated word "tragedy."
The worst part is the sheriff literally not understanding what's wrong with his actions.
Oh he knew. He just doesn’t care. No repercussions and the municipality will pay the settlement. Just another day in freedumbville.
Pretty much. Never stop these assholes before. It's the "Tell it to the judge" as police literally don't have to understand any the laws they enforce.
I never thought I'd side with a retired Tennessee cop, but here I am
Knowing the injustice done through cash bail to poor citizens in this country - people who have done nothing wrong, but are incarcerated for months because they can't afford bail - this is nothing more than a continuation of police policy. Of course, the fuckhead in the White House signed an executive order to ban no-cash bail because every thing that piece of shit does is to make the world a worse place.
All that said, this is pretty bad from a basic Bill of Rights standpoint. But again, most of what Cheeto (and law enforcement in general) does tears holes in the law of the land.
