I think that comparison could be drawn. My reason for posting the article is because so many want to tie this to Church authorities at the time, such as Brigham Young. The timeline itself does not allow for such a link. The tragedy was not unlike many in US wars and military actions. I think the confessions of the perpetrators acknowledge that reality sank in and their deeds have never been hailed by the Church or its members. It was terrible. The film, from articles I’ve read, will try to make a conspiracy out of an isolated incident. Those who are already predisposed to hating Mormons and calling them cultists and devils will just add food to their appetite for hysteria.
Defenders of BY will say he knew nothing of it before the murders.
His actions afterward do tend to prove his guilt.
He covered up the crime and protected the killers.
He had the memorial destroyed.
And yet there are those who still today will defend. Heck the LDS church has a college named after him. That is disgusting, in my opinion. To honor a vile evil man like that.
