You need to understand something. Peanut the squirrel’s death isn’t about people getting outraged over a nothingburger. It’s not just about Peanut being a cute animal that met an unjust fate. It’s also about how the state can barge into a man’s home at the stroke of a judge’s pen, strip him of all his rights and treat him like a felon, rifle through his belongings, and murder his pet animals over an anonymous complaint made thousands of miles away because the officers are “just following standard procedure.” There are few places in the “free world” where the bureaucracy operates like this—the UK, Germany. Not pleasant. America is joining that list. It’s become overly bureaucratic and not only is to costing Americans trillions of dollars a year, that money is being used to deprive Americans of their Constitutional rights.
