It’s not about Peanut. It’s about “we are all squirrels” under the totalitarian boot of unrestrained government. They can and will control us all, and if we bite, we will suffer greatly.
“First, they came for the squirrels.....”
It is about the government saying "we do not want you doing that" and rather then doing what was normal a few years back and going up, knocking on the door and giving him a ticket at most they do a multi-person, multi-hour RAID.
That is abuse of power.
And it is an over reaction of the highest order. And it is now the standard.
Is your child playing in the back yard for an hour? We will send the CPS to your door.
Did you walk the wrong way down a street? We will arrest you off the street, beat the crap out of you and throw you in jail.
Did the officer fumble finger in your license plate and it return no such plate found? Well that is grounds for yanking elderly ladies out of a 20 year old car and making them kneel on rough gravel.
Are you sitting in a McDonald's parking lot having a meal with your girl friend and Officer friendly decides that your car may vaguely resemble one that got away from him the other day. Come up, yank open the door and lay violent hands on you without identifying himself and then shoot you repeatedly when you try to get away from what any sane person would conclude is a car jacking?
All of these are things that have been come common.
And it is all wrong.
