Now thats getting to the heart of the matter Bighog! Good find!
Well put, bighog. I guess some of our members are so blinded by their conspiracy goggles that they're simply unable to see anything else. It is impossible for me to understand how they could suggest that there's any question about the reality of what goes on in these 'communities', especially after the facts have been stated and cited.Quote from bighog:
Rape is rape, sex with underage children is the same even if draped in religion. WHO is bullshitting who?
Quote from traderNik:
Like I said, some of these these extreme right-wingers apparently use the same techniques as the PC police they love to hate. I guess that's what's meant by 'irony'.

LOL LOL LOL.. his source is Jezebel. that is on par with PerezHilton.com. i can see why we aren't looking at the legal issues here.. just some shrills from the hate crime/thought police idiot types. the Constitution is just a piece of paper huh ladies?

Why do you want to defend their constitutional rights when they have no regard for the rights of the people they brainwashed?
Quote from ratboy88:
i havent seen one shred of evidence. there isn't one charge yet that i am aware of. if they end up filing charges that 3 girls were molested at the age of 17 i think kidnapping 400 kids wasn't the way to ferret out this grand crime sceme.
i also am finding out the sheriff did not have anyone on the inside as ABC reported. his informant is more than likely Flora Jessop who is the person that the hoax caller and obama pledged delegate, communicated with for weeks. so now we have a direct link of sheriff doran to jessop to swinton. this is how they got the warrant.... this doesn't smell to you?
also, rep Hilderbran specifically had the legal age for marriage changed from 14 to 16 w/parental consent.. in June of 2005. he also made the penalties much more severe. he freely admits he did this to target the fdls.
given the change in law.. technically, a 16 yr old with a 2 yr old child could be legal at the ranch. i notice the media doesn't even mention this little tidbit.
then you have the mineral rights and the oil drilling 200 yards from the ranch's property. the locals aren't exactly thrilled that Jeffs has executive rights. Sheriff Doran admits he was under pressure to raid the ranch previously when the locals claimed Jeffs was there.

Heres what I smell. A cult that knows how to operate so that "technically" they appear to not break any laws. Then they continue to use very young girls for their own pleasure, and use young men for their labor. "Technically" a possibiltiy to outsmart the law.

How do you think it should be handled? If ex polygamist sect members have claimed abuse, how would you if you were a law enforcement person handle the burden of gathering evidence in a constituitional way? Remember you are dealing with a society within a society. They intentionally seclude themselves from the general population. It is obvious they have set themselves up to hide from the law. So how do you gather evidence?

personally, i think one wife is a curse.. why would anyone want 5? i'm kidding.. well sorta. LOL
i wish these people knew the history of Joseph Smith and the angel Moroni for what it seems to be. they think the american indians are the israelites.. DNA proves they aren't.. they are asians from siberia. sorta kills the whole story. not to mention the freemason ties.
