Back in March 2020, a dozen or so sheriff’s deputies wearing bulletproof vests descended upon Waylon Bailey’s home in Rapides Parish, La., with their guns drawn, ordered him onto his knees with his hands on his head, and arrested him for a felony punishable by up to 15 years in prison.
The SWAT-style raid was provoked by a Facebook post in which Bailey had made a zombie-themed joke about COVID-19. https://nypost.com/2023/08/31/man-arrested-for-a-covid-joke-gives-a-much-needed-lesson-on-free-speech/
