'They decided to come with guns drawn, handcuff me and take me to jail'A Louisiana man is fighting in court for the First Amendment right to express satire after he made a joke about COVID-19, and was arrested by a sheriff's armed SWAT team that confronted him with guns drawn.
The Institute for Justice has confirmed it has taken up the case involving Waylon Bailey of New Orleans.
He had posted a joke online comparing the COVID-19 pandemic to a zombie apocalypse, and his Facebook friends all got the comedy.
But his post, using some pretty flamboyant language and references to the Brad Pitt zombie movie "World War Z," also drew the attention of the local sheriff's office.
His joke was that the sheriff's officers had been ordered to shoot the "infected."
