A. They both came to the attention of bureaucrat thugs and were thwarted by them, the former fatally.
The latter, the good Amish communities, at no profit to themselves, but seeing it as their Christian duty (when was last you heard those words?), loaded 56 busses with themselves and tools and travelled the long ride to North Carolina to build small but sound temporary dwellings for North Carolina residents whose houses were demolished by Hurricane Helene.
North Carolina bureaucrats, like most bureaucrats , incapable of doing anything useful in this crisis, nonetheless sprang into action, by declaring the temporary homes “not up to code,” and booted the recipients of Amish charity out of those dwellings, though helpfully posting on their website, in wordy bureaucratese, justification of their actions. Details may be found on this worthy website.
The Amish, who traditionally show little to no interest in politics and declining to vote in elections, this past election showed up in force to vote for Donald Trump, helping to push Pennsylvania into a Republican victory. Any wonder why?

At moments like these, regarding Peanut, the tiny houses, “Luna” the doomed boy in California, and the woman who had all her chickens killed by the Feds i find myself day dreaming about vigilante groups.
