Farovian Special Forces Raid House in Fishertonville

Late yesterday evening, acting upon tips received from local residents, the Farovian Special Forces raided a house on Surf Breaker Quay on the edge of Fishertonville. Apparently, local residents had seen many men lurking and sneaking around to the house after dark. The leader of the Special Forces Unit, Major Rock Buffbody, had this to say after the raid was conducted:

“The local law enforcement agency had contacted us when they had begun receiving numerous tips from the locals about many men furtively moving through the back bushes and trees to the house in question. The locals felt the men had something to hide and that they were up to no good, possibly even plotting to bring down the recently elected government. With this in mind, we had no recourse but to conduct a raid of the domicile in question and apprehend the men who were present. To our chagrin, what we found were a group of desolate and despondent married men holding a support group. Upon learning this, we immediately packed up our gear and returned to our barracks.”

Apparently, the men had been meeting secretly for many days now. They were all feeling down due to the fact that their wives were also fishing and bringing home more gold and better catches than they were. When reached, the leader and originator of the group, Mike Cook, had this to say:

“It’s very embarrassing when it’s the man’s job to bring home the bacon and the woman’s job to stay home and provide a clean, comfortable setting for us after a long days work out on the boats. Then when our womenfolk start going out in their own boats and bringing home a much better haul than the men do, it just gets too much for us to handle. That’s when I decided to begin this support group for all the men who are in this situation. It allows us a better way to cope with our inadequacies.”

The local law enforcement agency released this statement:

“We acted upon the information we received and felt that the situation was a possible threat to our democratically elected government. We felt that the situation was too much for us to handle and thus we contacted the Farovian Security Forces. I commend them for their prompt response and the professionalism with which they performed their operation.”

Civic groups though are calling for an inquiry as to how the situation was handled. They feel that since the men were doing nothing wrong, that the raid violated their civil liberties and that the Special Forces Unit acted without gathering more information as to whether the raid was justifiable.
