⬜🟨🟨⬜🟨 STEAL
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 FLUTE

I guessed FLUTE because it was relevant to an old story I shared in a text chain yesterday. The text chain was started by a suggestion that the local Democratic Party should thank the sheriff's office for detaining a person who was carrying a gun and wearing body armor at the local Christmas parade- we were participants and had a float. The sheriff's office and local paper noted that they were concerned because our local MAGA congressman was also in the parade. Language for a press release thanking law enforcement was discussed.

I told the story of an incident from 2017- before many of the people in current leadership were involved. In that incident, one of our volunteers was arrested and held in custody for months on a charge of threatening the same congressman and his family. What actually happened was he called the congressman's Washington office to complain about kids in cages- I think as part of the 5 Calls or a similar program. In his call he asked rhetorically how the congressman would like it if it was his family in cages. The call was handled by an intern who misrepresented the conversation and the congressman's office got the FBI involved. Larry was arrested that night by a local FBI agent and a detective from the sheriff's department.

The misrepresented story was carried in local media. Larry was doxxed by the paper! We had threatening incidents at our office and had to adopt security measures. The venue for the trial was moved to Miami where the charge was dismissed with prejudice.

The flute in the story- Larry was a retired professional flute player. Coda: the young man who was detained at the Christmas parade was let go with no charges.
