SoSpricyHotDog, do you feel like you're jumping through hoops to make evidence fit your conclusions.

The immediate connotation I have with cowrie shells is African Pride. They are associated with West African heritage. They used to be used as money.

Nope. Not jumping through hoops to fit a conclusion. We noticed something strange and we're connecting dots... that is, after all, what we've all been doing here since day 1. I will not make a claim until we can be sure of such a thing. I'm asking questions.

Your connecting dots by leaping to many smaller speculative conclusions.

  • the driver could have been waiting
  • the mural is odd
  • the painting of shells is strange
  • the painting of shells is related to magic..........a big leap
  • it's odd the the painting of shells is on a house in DC, not near a beach
  • This whole paragraph is not just "noticing something." It's building something out of speculation and excluding all other interpretations *>Why would Cowry shells be painted in a back alley in DC, not near the beach? Across from a house with suspicious activity that could be linked to Pegasus? Furthermore, WHY would that vehicle with the woman and small girl be in that alleyway? Remember, this is a "DO NOT ENTER", meaning that this person either: *There green garage is "overbuilt" and the No Parking sign in meaningful.
  • The rooftop addition is odd.
  • weird super garages is not only a conclusion, but language intended to cut of other discussion.
  • This paragraph

3 homes in a row with bars on all windows, seashells and weird super garages, and a silver Honda that must have come from this alley - but didn't need to drive THROUGH the alley.

You're aware you haven't connected the Honda to any of those houses at all right?

It seems like you are really trying to thread a needle here and making lots of conclusions along the way.

These are a collection of observations, questions and assumptions... I'm not threading a needle to draw a conclusion. We are looking at what seem to be items that "stick out" and are unique/possibly represent some kind of foul play.

The alley could be 100% innocuous. The dropped off kid could be 100% innocent. The house with "kids" spray painted out front that was once given a 5 star review by JA and described as "PEGASUS REAR" could be a coincidence. The multiple building permits that were executed next door to this house by the company owned by JA could have been a representation of how nice he is... helping out a neighbor who needed renovations and going through the trouble of putting the permits in his own name.

What the fuck do you expect?

Should EVERYTHING we post be 100% validated and vetted and proven prior to writing it? If so, there would be about 4 posts on Voat. Do you not understand how this works? How we connect dots by asking questions and making observations?

I've already explained to you, 3 times now, that the alley could* be nothing. We were merely chasing leads/following up on strange activity.

You're aware you haven't connected the Honda to any of those houses at all right?

Yes... but the Honda DID come from THAT alley, and parked about 20' in front of it, and it was driving through the alley the wrong way.

It could be nothing, I've already said that. What do you want me to do? Delete the post? Go to the alley myself? Interview everyone that lives there/near there? Find the Honda? Question the driver? Knock on the door of the house she was dropped off at?

Why don't I just waltz right into the Pegasus Museum while I'm at it? Tell them that I was suspicious of some activity - but, because I couldn't prove it from a handful of observations, I need them to sign a full confession?

Would that suffice?

Could not have said it any better. TY
