At least 9 women and children with Utah ties dead in Mexico, others missing
The Salt Lake Tribune 501(c)(3) ^ | November 4 | Nate Carlisle

Three mothers and at least six children with Utah ties were killed Monday in Mexico, according to the victims’ families.

Three other children suffered bullet wounds, said Lafe Langford Jr., a relative of some of the victims. He said doctors from across the Mexican state of Sonora were coming to help, though they would prefer to fly the wounded and others to the United States.

The victims are a mix of mainline LDS & polygamous Mormons. All or some have dual citizenship. The article implies they lived in Mexico. I would think these crimes would be extremely difficult to solve, given jurisdictional issues and the non-declared near-war in Mexico.

They keep saying "drug cartels," but this group - a Mormon offshoot - and their relatives have been involved in some pretty sick stuff in the past;

Ervil Morrell LeBaron (February 22, 1925 – August 15, 1981) was the leader of a polygamous Mormon fundamentalist group who ordered the killings of many of his opponents, using the religious doctrine of blood atonement to justify the murders.

The ones without dual citizenship are just Mexicans.
Some of these Mexican Mormons had anchor babies, others did not.

Not our jurisdiction, not our problem.

What is interesting about this is that LDS and other “churches” are still doing missions to Mexico.

What got America in to the situation it is in with illegal immigration started decades ago with the same kind of crap. Churches went down to Mexico and offered all sorts of free shit to the Mexicans. Even the most uneducated Mexican is no fool, so they came to the US for the free stuff.

Here is a little tidbit, did you know that Mexico really doesn’t have such things as charities or nonprofits? The only entities of that type are mainly from the US.

I started posting about nonprofits here on FR many years ago. The USA needs to totally do away with the current 501 type laws and create new ones that ONLY allow an entity to be a nonprofit if it feeds, clothes, houses or supplies medical needs to people. Other than that? Tough luck. Either do this or do away with taxing ANY corporation.

Most USA nonprofits are used to push a political agenda or enrich the nonprofits handlers. Way too many of the latter compete directly against regular taxpaying corporations.

True enough and it actually wouldn't surprise me if the Mormons had somehow got themselves involved in the drug trade.....don't get me wrong as I haven't seen any evidence of this. However, this is certainly the case with the Mennonites in Mexico.

The sad reality is that there were so many innocent children and this won't be an easy crime to solve.

IMHO,I believe this is a cult of a cult, the LDS.

Holy cow. What a crew.

And this...”It has been estimated that more than 25 people were killed as a result of LeBaron’s prison-cell orders. Many of his family members and other ex-members of the group still remain in hiding for fear of retribution from LeBaron’s remaining followers.”

(Thanks for the background.)

All or some have dual citizenship.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And people wonder why the Mormon church is all for open borders and amnesty.

The mexification of Utah is well under way. An American mexican is running a close second in the race for mayor of Salt Lake City (the lesbian mayor didn’t run again).
