Can he appeal that bond? I can't imagine what probable cause would lead to this unless it's 100% not the meme posting.

No way it's just the meme for that kind of bond. The judge must have considered him some kind of risk to the community. My guess is that the investigators found some evidence suggesting that he meant for it to be interpreted as a threat.

You have to be pretty fucking dense to still be giving law enforcement the benefit of the doubt in 2025. You've learned nothing.

Judges are not law enforcement and we have scant evidence. Tried looking up the arrest record (have you?), nothing I can find except the charge and the fact he's in custody.

There are several FOIA requests in the pipeline. Who knows if they'll dodge those requests or spill the beans.

Read the article.

They are assuming he meant it as a threat when he actually meant it as a dismissal of the CK shooting. Their only evidence is that the county in which he was arrested and the school where the shooting that prompted the Trump quote are both named Perry. No actual substantiation, just a presumption of guilt based on having the same name.
