LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — A protester who participated in hanging an effigy of Kentucky’s governor at an armed rally on the State Capitol grounds has been fired from his job at an auto dealer.
Neil Huffman Auto Group said it terminated the unidentified employee after an internal review, saying it “does not condone threats of violence in any form.”
“There is no place for hate or intolerance at any of our dealerships,” Shannon Huffman, the auto dealer’s human resources manager, said on social media Tuesday evening.
The protester fired was identified by the Courier Journal as Terry Bush, president of the Kentucky 3 Percenters group. His dismissal was confirmed by his wife, Patsy Bush, the newspaper reported.
“He was fired because this governor is more important than the regular Joe out in this state trying to put food on their tables,” Patsy Bush told the newspaper Wednesday.
On Tuesday, Gov. Andy Beshear referred to the protesters as a mob in condemning the weekend rally that spread to the Governor’s Mansion. The Democratic governor vowed not to back down.
“Let’s start by calling it what it was and what it is — actions aimed at creating fear and terror,” Beshear said. “Crossing over barriers, standing on the other side of the glass from where I raise my kids and hanging me in an effigy, that’s an action intended to use fear to get their way.”
The effigy was hung in a tree near the State Capitol during what was billed as a protest rally in defense of constitutional rights, including the right to bear arms. The rally turned into a protest against coronavirus restrictions and Beshear’s administration, according to media reports, with protesters chanting outside the Governor’s Mansion for him to come outside.
I hope he gets a good new job.
Q: How do I know if this is a bullshit, for-profit PR stunt?
A: If he collects a half million dollars in GoFuckMe cash by next week.
If you like bullshit stories, wait until people start talking about faked Chinese Virus Victim Deaths where they only exist on paper due to fake and fraudulent diagnosis and altered autopsy reports replete with signatures.
Fully agree!
Part of my job for years was signing legal death certificates and assigning a cause of death. Let’s just say that even in ordinary times, there is genuine subjectivity involved in assigning a cause of death.
Add real political and financial pressure, and I’m sure you can inflate COVID deaths significantly with little flat-out lying. And with flat-out lying, the sky is the limit.
Except for the hate or intolerance we endorse, and which we determine is best for our bottom line.
That set sells Subarus. They don’t want to piss off their lesbian customers.
Was he working when he hung the dummy, or on his own time?
It’s gonna be a bitch when nobody’s around to fix them when they break though. I bet the mechanics, er technicians, in the shop just love the do-gooder Shannon twit.
The dealers would love it. They would tell you that since you can’t get the old one fixed, you have to buy a new one.
CORRECTION
LOLbertarians AND Lesbians with their faded and tattered Ron Paul 2012 bumperstickers.
Here are the numbers for the company that fired him. Give them a call and voice your opinion!

I will tell them me and my family do not condone nor support nor have any tolerance for companies that want to silence the rights of any law abiding American. He has a right to protest. The Constitution demands , yes with violence if and when needed, the removal of tyrants by any means necessary. He made no threats. He simply practiced his 1st and 2nd Amendments. This company is setting up Precedence of tyranny by firing him and should not be supported. Their employees should walk or go on strike.
This IS Fascism when a company has this kind of control over employees outside of work not on their property, in how they act, think, and do. It is unlawful. When and where will this stop. We shall soon be fearing not only our govt, neighbors but now our employers? I call bullshit. This must stop.
And the girl on the other end of the line says: “Let me transfer your call to Sales, sir”.
Don’t purchase from Neil Huffman Auto Group and tell them why. Maybe they will get the message.
BINGO…..BINGO….BINGO, the prize goes to our own anarchyst for correctly finding the solution to the termination of this FINE UPSTANDING Kentuckian. DON’T EVER buy a car from this auto group in protest of this BS sucking up to our little dictator Andy “The Fascist” Beshear.
Hurt these asshats in their pocketbook and then we’ll see who is sucking Andy’s unit.
was he publicly identifying himself as an employee or are just firing him to virtue signal or 4 leftist politics?
I am guessing they have a contract with the state to provide vehicles, parts and service. They do not want to piss off the hand that feeds them.
Louisville is Kentucky’s example of a Democrat Shithole. They’re “Grade A” one since they vote (((Yarmuth))) to Congress every election. The Governor is a joke and all of his Democrat supporters are mad because he is now a lame duck after he pulled that little stunt of having state troopers in a church parking lot writing down license plate numbers. Kentucky’s two biggest cities are Democratic Hives but the rest of the state is pretty normal, if you can call it that.
Just because a guy’s family hails from the Pale of Settlement doesn’t mean he hasn’t learned to be 100% American.
Can you name any American Jewish politician who is AGAINST the following things:
1) Confiscating, by force if necessary, many types of firearms, and then registering all of the rest of them under threat of arrest and imprisonment?
2) Their police coming to your house, based upon hearsay, to confiscate your firearms because “you MAY be a threat to society”, and they can kill you if to refuse to comply, even though you haven’t been convicted of anything?
3) Criminalizing your speech, just because they don’t like it, and thus arresting and prosecuting you.
4) Taking by force your children, AUTOMATICALLY, if you have been accused of any violations of 1) and 2)?
Just Trump who is very Jewish, and the jury is still out on those issues.
I think Trump is in the pocket of Black Sun Group. All of the people who very visibly oppose him are shills and toadies of the Rothchilds.
I believe these people were exercising their First Amendment rights peaceably to assemble and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
Yes they were. Burning in effigy is a time-honored statement. Trump effigies have been burnt any times. Don’t remember any of those burners losing their jobs. (I crack me up – like they would have jobs, those losers.)
He has a case that his firing is a civil rights violation. He was fired explicitly for exercising his 1st Amendment right of free speech and free assembly. I bet he sues.
Now THAT would be a happy story.
Hanging a political figure in effigy is a time-honored method of political protest. It’s not a “threat of violence,” “hate,” or “intolerance,” it’s political speech.
” that’s an action intending to use fear to get their way.”
Gov. Andy Beshear.
That’s the fuckin richest quote ever.A true pig in the farmhouse, raising a toast to celebrate glue factory profits from dear Snowball.
Oblivious.
The Beshear family consists of a usual litany of lowlifes and slime balls. Little Andy’s father Governor Steve Beshear oversaw the Kentucky State Pension Plans fall over into the deep end after his appointees made many questionable decisions concerning the management of the Pension System. The teachers are the ones who got Little Andy voted into office, which is ironic since his father helped run their pension plan into the ground.
<—–And this pattern of degenerate nepotist ineptitude is oft repeated throughout this land of ours. Anybody remember Hunter Biden giving a pass to a child rapist from the Dupont fam? Fortunately his brother was around to poke his widow with big Joe's approval. Disgusting. It is repeated at state local and fed levels. People need to push back now because it's gone to far. I think that is "their" goal but I don't think they understand the backlash that is coming. People are waking up finally. History will reflect that the Barnhardt doctrine was accurate and prescient. If you are living in or near a city, GTFO now. If you think the shitties will survive this economic implosion coupled with media fed electoral social justice chaos you are mistaken. See Somaliappolis and LAyyyy for why you should be leaving.
