    I’m shocked that there is actually a law against this in fascist Tennessee.

      The Columbia Police Department said a 38-year-old man and a 17-year-old male were arrested around 4:30 p.m. Thursday and charged with Civil Rights intimidation. The charges were placed in coordination with the District Attorney’s Office, and the official statute is TCA 39-17-309.

      I was trying to figure out how you get arrested for fliers, with free speech and what not. But these idiots stuck these plainly obvious threats (“dark history”, “be warned”) on Black churches. It’s nice when the criminals are this stupid.
