On this day in 3019 of the 3rd Age, Frodo & company confronted Saruman over false imprisonment and food shortages.
Saruman said there were no shortages, and if there were they were the fault of the Sackville-Bagginses.
He also felt his mob of sheriffs hadn’t been violent enough.

On this day in 3019 of the 3rd Age, 4 decorated heroes of the War of the Ring learned they had been detained without due process on the orders of “the Boss.”
Many a hobbit was going along with “the Boss” and doing terrible things.
Our heroes suggested a better way, that ignored “the Boss.”

Just want to reiterate that there’s no reason for this. There is no increase in crime. There are no riots. There’s no insurrection. They’re doing this without provocation. At least until they create one.
“.. A top US military official has ordered the national guards of all 50 US states .. to form ‘quick reaction forces’ trained in ‘riot control’, including use of batons, body shields, Tasers and pepper spray, according to an internal Pentagon directive ..”

On this day in 3018 of the 3rd Age, the Council of Elrond decided to destroy the One Ring.
Almost immediately, some argued it was an empty gesture and not real action. Others said it was a provocation. Saruman issued a statement demanding the electoral map be redrawn.

On this day in 3018 of the 3rd Age, Gandalf and Elrond flooded the Anduin, drowning the horses of the Nazgûl.
The hobbits swore they saw horses of water.
Scholars today think elvish protestors in inflatable horse costumes drove off the Nazgûl.
The truth probably lies somewhere in between.

On this day in 3018 of the 3rd Age, Glorfindel drove the Nazgûl from Mitheithel and left a beryl to show Aragorn the bridge was safe.
There were other beryls left, inscribed with “Hey, Nazgûl! Catch!” and “anti Ringwraith” in blue sharpie.
Aragorn ignored these other beryls as obvious plants.
