YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

A Tennessee man will receive an $835,000 settlement after being jailed for more than a month over a social media post he shared about the killing of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk.

Retired law enforcement officer Larry Bushart, 61, was arrested in September and spent 37 days in jail after sharing Facebook memes accusing the Turning Point USA founder of spreading hate. The Perry County sheriff’s office claimed the posts encouraged violence, and Bushart’s bail was set at $2 million.
