By Sunday evening, however, the posts had gotten the attention of Perry County Sheriff Nick Weems. An avid Facebook user himself, Weems had shared the information about the Kirk vigil on his own page a few days earlier. He had also posted his own emotional response to the news of Kirk’s murder in September, warning ominously about the “evil” in our midst. “Evil could be your neighbor,” he wrote. “Evil could be standing right beside you in the grocery store. It could be your own family member and you never even know it.”
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?
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.
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.
The type of person who arrested him:
Christofascist nutjob.
It’s as Jesus said: “Do unto others as you suspect them of potentially doing unto you.”
this guy evils!
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.

Acab is true but the way Sheriffs work makes them extra Acab its literally unbelievable.

Turns out he’s the evil.
Epstein’s Law: every accusation from a Conservative [of being guilty of a thing] is a confession [of being guilty of the thing]
“Are we the baddies?”
Exactly and it’s almost as if he’s bragging about being evil and the people closest to him not realizing it.
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
