Peanut and Fred

1/X Buckle up, guys and gals, it’s thread time.

Here’s why Peanut and Fred have become such a rallying point for people:

We aren’t suddenly in love with a squirrel and a raccoon.

They represent the problems of a very broken, petty government.
2/X

For years, we’ve watched as our betters in the Democratic Party have engaged in the selective application of our laws.

They call it “restorative justice” or “criminal justice reform” or some other nifty euphemism, but what it is is lawfare. 
3/X

It’s why violent repeat offenders can assault, rape, and steal and get a slap on the wrist.

Jordan Neely was arrested something like 40 times prior to his encounter with Daniel Penny.

The Left decided their crimes — which are still crimes — are somehow acceptable. 
4/X

So they turn a blind eye to the minority of citizens who are actually criminals and let them continue to harass and injure others.

Maybe — maybe — if they kill somebody they’ll get jail time. Simply because of the public outcry if they don’t. 
5/X

But it shouldn’t come to someone losing their life before the state protects us.

And eventually they’ll expect us to tolerate them setting murderers loose, too.

People see this. 
6/X

We see criminal illegal immigrants — who are criminals the second they illegally cross our border, btw — get a pass.

Including tens of thousands who are ACTUAL criminals: gang members, murderers, rapists.

And our government shrugs and says “Oh well, nothing we can do.” 
7/X

Martha Raddatz says it’s “a handful” of gang members taking over apartments.

As if the acceptable number of violent gangs running America apartment complexes should be anything other than ZERO. 
8/X

During COVID, we watched as government shut down our schools and businesses and arrested people who had the nerve to fish alone on an empty beach.

That was “unsafe”, you grandma killer.

The UK toyed with killing ALL PET CATS. 
9/X

Then George Floyd happened and suddenly riots and protests and being outside in large groups was okay.

My dad’s funeral? Nah.

Your kid’s graduation? Nope?

But assholes burning down cities? OKAY! 
10/X

Few of them were arrested as they did billions of dollars in damage to cities across the country.

But the rest of us? Government might not let us leave our homes if we don’t get a vaccine passport.

For our own good. 
11/X

I see a lot of people saying “Well, the squirrel was illegal!”

So?

Theft is illegal. Assault is illegal. Arson and rioting are illegal.

Crossing the border is illegal.

Our government decided not to enforce THOSE laws. 
12/X

But instead they come down on a family with a pet squirrel and raccoon like a ton of bricks.

The full weight of whatever fascist government agency that decided THIS was the law they’re gonna ruthlessly enforce. 
13/X

And this is how it always plays out: the Left’s preferred groups can get away with literal murder, and the Left will say they either don’t have the resources to enforce laws (“we can’t possibly deport tens of millions!”) 
14/X

Or they say not enforcing the laws with XZY groups is itself a form of “restorative justice.” 
15/X

This is an untenable and unsustainable position.

Peanut and Fred are simply the tipping point.

We are fed up with a government that picks winners and losers when the law should be applied equally and fairly. 
16/X

And we’re sick of government ignoring crimes that actually harm people and communities, but being absolutely brutal when enforcing a law over a squirrel and raccoon that were LITERALLY HURTING NO ONE. 
17/X

The problem is the hypocrisy.

Government will let guys like Jordan Neely wander free to harass and terrorize women and toddlers on subways.

They’ll ruin the life of anyone who defends the innocents against those criminals. 
18/X

Then they’ll find some law about pet squirrels and raccoons and decide THAT is the one they’re going to follow to the letter.

People are fed up with it. 
19/X

THAT is what Peanut and Fred represent.

A country fed up with a government that refuses to enforce its most fundamental laws but one that will give tyrants carte blanche to invade your home over the kinds of pets you have. 
20/X

As always, the Left don’t get this. Because they’re okay with this form of lawfare.

They LIKE lawfare, because right now it benefits them.

And a not insignificant portion of the Left get off on making others suffer like they did Peanut/Fred’s owners. 
21/21

They don’t care that a reckoning will come.

And they forget the other side gets to move and shoot, too.

If it takes a squirrel and a raccoon to remind them, so be it.

Halloween Humor

 Halloween humor:

============================== A man was walking home alone late one foggy night, when behind him he hears: BUMP... BUMP... BUMP... Walking faster, he looks back and through the fog he makes out the image of an upright casket banging its way down the middle of the street toward him. BUMP... BUMP... BUMP... Terrified, the man begins to run toward his home, the casket bouncing quickly behind him. FASTER... FASTER... BUMP... BUMP... BUMP... He runs up to his door, fumbles with his keys, opens the door, rushes in, slams and locks the door behind him. However, the casket crashes through his door, with the lid of the casket clapping clappity-BUMP... clappity-BUMP... clappity-BUMP... on his heels, the terrified man runs. Rushing upstairs to the bathroom, the man locks himself in. His heart is pounding; his head is reeling; his breath is coming in sobbing gasps. With a loud CRASH the casket breaks down the door. Bumping and clapping toward him. The man screams and reaches for something, anything, but all he can find is a bottle of cough syrup! Desperate, he throws the cough syrup at the casket... and... the coffin stops.

Heaven

 "A man and his dog were walking along a road. The man was enjoying the scenery, when it suddenly occurred to him that he was dead.

He remembered dying, and that the dog walking beside him had been dead for years. He wondered where the road was leading them. After a while, they came to a high, white stone wall along one side of the road. It looked like fine marble. At the top of a long hill, it was broken by a tall arch that glowed in the sunlight. When he was standing before it he saw a magnificent gate in the arch that looked like mother-of-pearl, and the street that led to the gate looked like pure gold. He and the dog walked toward the gate, and as he got closer, he saw a man at a desk to one side. When he was close enough, he called out, 'Excuse me, where are we?' 'This is Heaven, sir,' the man answered. Would you happen to have some water?' the man asked. Of course, sir. Come right in, and I'll have some ice water brought right up'. The man gestured, and the gate began to open. 'Can my friend,' gesturing toward his dog, 'come in, too?' the traveller asked. 'I'm sorry, sir, but we don't accept pets.' The man thought a moment and then turned back toward the road and continued the way he had been going with his dog. After another long walk, and at the top of another long hill, he came to a dirt road leading through a farm gate that looked as if it had never been closed. There was no fence. As he approached the gate, he saw a man inside, leaning against a tree and reading a book. 'Excuse me!' he called to the man. 'Do you have any water?' 'Yeah, sure, there's a pump over there, come on in..' 'How about my friend here?' the traveller gestured to the dog. 'There should be a bowl by the pump.' They went through the gate, and sure enough, there was an old-fashioned hand pump with a bowl beside it. The traveller filled the water bowl and took a long drink himself, then he gave some to the dog. When they were full, he and the dog walked back toward the man who was standing by the tree. 'What do you call this place?' the traveller asked. This is Heaven,' he answered. 'Well, that's confusing,' the traveller said. 'The man down the road said that was Heaven, too.' 'Oh, you mean the place with the gold street and pearly gates? Nope. That's hell.' 'Doesn't it make you mad for them to use your name like that?' 'No, we're just happy that they screen out the folks who would leave their best friends behind.'" ~Anonymous Author and Artwork

Hi. My name is Ryan Joseph Thomas. I'm 32 years old and I'm from Springfield, Pennsylvania. You might better know me as ‘Enterprising Desert Raven’, or the owner of both the @ rt7683 and @ _jasonwillz1_ X accounts.Image
As you all know, I am all about accountability, so I am here today to hold myself accountable for weaponizing Community Notes against people or opinions I don't like.Image
I hope you all and Elon can appreciate how much damage I have done across X, but I must now end what I have enjoyed doing so much.Image
There is a group of Patriots who have shown me the light of my sinister deeds, and I need to repent for these sins before it’s too late.Image
It's time I start being honest and tell you all, I do this because I own stocks in Biotech that will collapse if you all find out the truth about the vaccines.Image
I also work for UDG Healthcare, where I get insider information (similar to Speaker Pelosi) about which stocks to buy early on, and when I Community Note you, I am engaging in stock manipulation.Image
I own an LLC called Brandywine Valley Asset Management, LLC that I created on June 18th of 2020. It’s even located in President Biden’s home state of Delaware.Image
This business is a shell company for me to buy and sell these stocks while I work for UDG Healthcare and get away with what I am doing.Image
I am coming clean now, because I am afraid these Patriots are going to take their evidence to the proper authorities if I do not hold myself accountable first.Image
I also implore the other community noters I am aligned with to cease and desist the tyranny we are causing because these Patriots know who you are.Image
My sincerest apologies to the accounts whom I had suspended including most recently @ Kronykal @ NarfGb and @ the_coopertronImage
I will do my best, because what they have will put my behind bars for quite a long time. #StopTheNotes before I go to prison.
