The "Sixteen year old girl." A hoax???

Just read this on WND.

I am SPITTING mad. Texas authorities better have those children back in their mothers arms by tonight.

"A 33-year-old Colorado Springs woman has been questioned about a telephone call that sparked a raid at the polygamist Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints compound in western Texas two weeks ago.

Rozita Swinton was arrested at her home Wednesday night by Colorado Springs police for an incident that occurred in February. Members of the Texas Rangers were also in Colorado Springs as part of their investigation.

"The Texas Rangers were in Colorado Springs (Wednesday) as part of their investigation involving the compound in Texas. They left and have not filed any charges on Rozita Swinton as of this time," said Colorado Springs police spokesman Lt. Skip Arms.

Colorado Springs police said the arrest warrant has been sealed and refused to release any other details, reported Deseret News."

It just smells bad.

This behavior smells worse.

Especially her account of what was done to her infants.

Testimony like her's would be admissible as an expert witness in any future jury trial (and there will be trials) as to what occurs at FLDS compounds - so don't try to tell me this video isn't relevant to this particular case.

Oh, and lying to a Police Officer is a crime in Texas.

Then their prisons must be chock-full to overflowing.

"No, officer, I wasn't speeding!"

Yep, I saw that. And the children involved should be rescued, no argument here. But just because these kids in that family were abused does not mean that CPS has the right to seize every other kid in the community. Unless, of course, it is determined that this is SOP in that community.

Of course, cutting to the chase here, short of killing these people what are we going to do with them?

If anyone in Texas couples that with being uncooperative, or not giving truthful answers about their insurance or any other questions asked - they officer can arrest them. You don't lie to the police. This isn't the BATF at Waco we are talking about.

Your attempt to make light of the situation is not affective. The FLDS lied to the town about major construction, vehicles, and materials being shipped into their compound.

Try doing that on your property.

A police officer uses discretion. Most of them won't go around arresting someone for saying they were not speeding.

Lying to the town Sheriff about millions of dollars of construction taking place does not equate.

Would you like to try to compare any more match sticks to timber?

You're an emotive hysterical asshat whose whole pretense on any thread is often to paint anyone who disagrees with you over any notion no matter how minor as a polygamist, child abuser, pedophile or on other threads as a racist or bigot.

This is what you do. It makes you feel morally superior to others. Something you must lack personally in your life and that you need to sate by being offensive and accusatory of this forum.

I doubt you will find many takers here that I'm endorsing pedophilia or pederasty.

There has been those same types of accusations on all these threads.

If you post “Well, what about the fourth amendment?”, some self righteous pretend know-it-all will respond “Screw the fourth amendment. You’re a pedophile!”

It’s a very emotional topic. But my view is that it amounts to clearing out and detaining an entire city block because somebody 500 miles away calls in and says he smells somebody smoking some reefer.

Just watch! Somebody will probably come back and say “You’re saying that this is the same as smoking a bit of pot... You PERV!!!”

You put your words in the wrong order. You needed to start with these words:

Something you must lack personally in your life and that you need to sate by being offensive and accusatory of this forum.

[Y'all see that wardaddy's personal standards here is that those who are "offensive & accusatory" are...

"...emotive hysterical asshat" that "makes" them "feel morally superior to others."

Hmm. (Isn't that what you just engaged in?) Yup. The "emotive" putdown was "offensive" & all of it was "accusatory." (But we expect that having looked in the mirror today, you would, after all, know & project yourself).

But thanks for the revealing post about you. (It's nice to know that you agree with yourself about your opinion of yourself...As for me, I don't mind if you project your feelings about yourself toward me...it's better to vent than stuff).

Your posts and mine speak for themselves well enough.

...and poligamy is practiced all over the world as a practical way to take care of children.

Yeah; sure...

"It takes a village"

(...or a compound!)


I think the lifestyle is a tremendous help to young mothers.

Sorry; but what does this 'lifestyle' do to the young MEN; who have NO WIFE??

"It's not GOOD for MAN to be ALONE."
Genesis 2:18


If a man has N number of wives; N-1 of them are sleeping alone.
