What I can't figure out is why a complaint about a wild, rabies-vector animal living in a home requires an armed response? A couple Animal Control agents and maybe a cop for back-up should be enough. Don't even issue a warrant. Now, if the homeowner is uncooperative, sure, get a warrant and send a couple of squad cars. But sending a SWAT team for a squirrel as your first move? That's nuts.

I'm reminded of a great quote: "Any government big enough to give you everything you need, is big enough to take everything you have." Oh, you love that squirrel? Well, lemme see here ... Section 3, subsection F, paragraph 2a says, and I'm quoting here, "tough shit."

See, Peanut and his untimely demise is what you get when you are a one issue voter who only cares about that one issue, and not actual, you know, "Governing Principles."

Congratulations, New York, you sacrificed your principles so you could have Abortion on demand and now you're shocked that the Leviathan government will do whatever the hell it wants?

I'm not.
