[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is it possible the restaurant attracted rats, and a restaurant worker tossed a dead rat onto the neighbors property as claimed?  I mean, is it possible?  Restaurant garbage can attract rats. If a neighbor was attracting a bunch of rats, I'd just move though. [/quote]

No, allegedly, the rat, absent an experts opinion, appeared to be one of the PetSmart variety.

Rats would be incredibly unusual in the plains.  Racoons, mice, bears, squirrels, foxes, and annuity salespeople would pick through the trash and leave nothing behind for the rats to build a colony around.  A bear would be much more likely than a rat, for example.  Even in higher density/more restaurant areas like Warrenton and Middleburg, rats aren’t really expected.

[b]But the washers are from prince william county and have no roots in Fauquier until they dropped a ton of money (they own businesses in Marshall now too) and tried to take over.  [/b]They probably didn’t know rats weren’t going to be a credible claim - especially those that looked like they came from a pet store.[/quote]

This is important. They thought they could move to The Plains and ingratiate themselves with the old money, old guard conservative families who have lived there for generations. That was stupid mistake #1. Those families wanted nothing to do with them. Stupid mistake #2 was doubling down and targeting an established business that no one else was bothered by and clogging up the local court system with a bunch of nonsense complaints about it.[/quote]

They totally thought they could buy into the old guard - but their grandparents didn’t even own a single horse with a Derby winning adjacent bloodline, so I don’t know how they expected to do that.  They tried that first.  Then moved onto the all hat no cattle image to attract the “modern farmhouse” pick up truck driving younger people and the blue collar/redneck contingent.  He’s done a good job with them and is rapidly turning low propensity voters into likely voters and their numbers are far larger than the PEC set.  He absolutely blew out the “establishment” “pro-development” republican in the primary.  But the dirty secret is the guy he beat was less pro-development than washer, washer is just lying.  The other guy is a well-known quantity and would have been very reasonable.  Destroyed him in the primary.  The independent candidate is being bankrolled by the blue bloods but they have a lot of money but not a lot of votes.[/quote]
