Quote from Rearden Metal:
I'm just saying that at first (<i>before</i> the sick dealings of the church leaders were revealed in this thread), the knee-jerk reaction of many here (myself included) was to assume the gov't was pulling some unconstitutional bullshit again, as they often do.
Now that more details have come to light, it appears that some degree of gov't interference was warranted after all. I'll admit to being too hasty in jumping on the 'civil rights violations' bandwagon before all the relevant facts were known.
details? like what? are they facts? if they find 5 girls had underage sex.. by all means let's pursue it legally. but do you know the history of CPS? we round up 400 kids because of a fake phone call? did you see the tanks? did you see the para-military cops?
the sheriff had an informant on the inside for 4 years... let's hear what they uncovered.
why can't we let the down syndrome child be with his mother?
isn't it odd how the media and hollywood fawned all over the Genarlow Wilson case. the girl was 15.... was this aggravated child molestation? by law she is not of age to give consent. many were appalled by the mandatory 10 yr sentence, but those same people will squeal for joy if these FDLS men are locked up that long.
what we have here are hidden agendas, demonization and law changes. should be interesting, we have 400 kids detained because of one hoax phone call.
this isn't about abuse.. this is about control and setting precedent. this is about conditioning.
