1. The authorities have been investigating this sect for 4 yrs with an inside informant. There may be a federal warrent as well. 2. The 416 children don't have rights. You have to be an adult.

3. I'm sick of everyones portrayal of Texas. If you're jealous, keep it to yourselves

Under false pretenses it is. You think that this lunatic Obama delegate black chick’s phony testimony won’t hurt this investigation?

No, Jeffs is in prison in Utah after being CONVICTED there of being an accomplice to the rape of a 14 year old girl whose marriage he arranged. He is awaiting trial on additional charges in Arizona, for actually raping underage girls himself. It shouldn’t have taken a call from a victim, real or fake, to get Texas authorities to aggressively investigate the goings-on inside this compound. Jeffs is still giving orders from his prison cell. The day before the “raid” on the compound, two of the male leaders from the Texas compound visited Jeffs at his prison in Utah.

They openly practiced polygamy. How can it be a hoax?

I believe that the State of Texas may find itself on the wrong legal side of this issue because of the recent Supreme Court decision (also in Texas) which stated that their sodomy statute was unconstitutional. People at the time were asking about bestiality, polygamy, NAMBLA, and other weird sex games.

If the state can't invade the privacy of two queers, can they legislate any other kind of morality?

Oh boy-

This ought to get pretty.

The gubbermint likes to go after folk like this. These are easy targets that stick out like a sore thumb.

Seriously. They can’t control our boarder, they don’t catch those that light bombs or fly airplanes into towers, they can’t stop drugs, or even the international pedophile porn pushers, but they CAN go after easy targets like this. I guess you have to start somewhere. LOL

Events like this are more or less admittance of failure by our security apparatus.

Maybe not Philly, but likely more widespread than a house or two, and if they find solid evidence here, it will get easier and easier to get warrants for other FLDS owned properties and communities.

The constitution protects us from unreasonable searches.

The more evidence they find of widespread criminal acts, including hiding the criminal acts of others, the more reasonable broad searches become.

There’s some major weirdness going on here. I wonder if Swinton has a friend who works at the Texas domestic abuse shelter/hotline. If so, 2 possiblities: 1) the whole thing was a hoax arranged by the friend in Texas, who knew bad things were going on inside the compound and was frustrated that police/CPS wouldn’t investigate without a call from a specific victim, or 2) the friend told Swinton a lot of details about the initial call(s) from a real victim, received by the shelter hotline on March 29, not realizing what a nutcase Swinton is, and this prompted Swinton to start making the phony calls to Flora Jessop.

I may as well speculate along with you...

3. Swinton met one of the FLDS construction workers who was out of the compound on a job, got a crush on him and found out there was no way in hell she could be a "wife" because of her race. This started her vendetta.

NOW watch someone with an agenda jump on this and post a thread stating "Call Placed by Rejected Lover, Texas Rangers Case is Lost, Lost, Lost."

So far, all voluntary. And the women have apparently all indicated they will be tested (i.e. they got ordered by their male leaders to be tested). The men, apart from a cherry-picked threesome who appeared in a TV interview yesterday, have not indicated that they will agree to be tested. It appears their strategy is to try to use DNA matches to the mothers to get the kids given back to the mothers (who would then try to bring them all under the control of the men again), while the men avoiding incriminating themselves by declining to be tested. I don’t think Judge Walther will buy into this game. For sure, she is not going to give anyone standing in court to claim custody of a child without proof that the child is actually that person’s biological offspring.

They can invade their privacy IF they have evidence of the crime. They have evidence of crimes in this cult. People have come forward to talk about it.

Shouldn’t we be raiding all of the Chicago government offices, and the homes of all Chicago government empoyees, then, and siezing their children, en masse, for a group trial?

Not to mention NY. Oh, my, what a mess. Talk about organized crime.

I speculate that as a recent convert to the LDS Church, Ms. Swinton was never told about the polygamy of Mormon history.

She stumbled upon the truth while listening to the Warren Jeffs trial, became obsessed with it and how bad it made her “new” church look and decided to take it down by making a bogus call.

We won’t even speculate what finding out about the history of the black race in relation to Mormonism did to her psyche, but it has something to do with a Mrs. Peacock, lead pipe and a library.

I’m still waiting for the MSM to report that Rozita is an LDS convert. It is local knowledge in Colorado Springs.

More disinformation about the phone call, Mom.

What disinformation did my post contain? If I'm wrong about something, let me know. A reference to why I'm wrong would also be appreciated.

If Warren Jeffs had been named Walid Jahmed and that compound was the al-Aqsa memorial freakin compund, we would not be seeing the kind of spinning and underhanded support for these filthy pedophiles like we have seen on FR as of late.

We would have people talking about either tactical nuke strikes or Gitmo.

I can’t really figure some of these people out.

I can’t tell if they are trolls doing it for the lulz, parody trolls from the DUmp trying to make FR look bad, shills with actual ties to this cult of pedophiles, or just regular pedos who like the idea of little girls in dresses.

Filthy pedos are filthy.

gggggrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
