Mobile Vulgus points to something the Mormons were said to've done - but wants to ignore the mob murdering of their men, women and children - little babies taken by their feet and brains bashed out on buildings.

Part of the motive was the successful farming of new lands, making them very desirable - anyway they could be taken

....which is exactly what happened on the "Trail of Tears." Sadly, Mormons weren't the only ones who suffered this kind of horrific treatment.

I've done a fair amount of research on the mob violence against Mormons.

I haven't run across a single historical incident of intentional murder of Mormon women or young children, with the exception of the murder of a 10-year old boy at Haun's Mill.

To be sure, it's quite possible women and children died in crossfire as collateral damage. And no doubt at all that they died from hardships associated with being driven from their homes.

But baby-brain-bashing?

Citation please.

It doesn't help the Mormon case to bring up the whole murder of women and children thing, as we do know that dozens of women and children were treacherously murdered in cold blood by the Mormon militia at Mountain Meadows.
