Uh oh. Time to send in Janet Reno?

[mainepatsfan]

Heck we should send her to Basra while we’re at it.

[Ole Okie]

Yeah. And the tanks. And the tear gas.

[mtbopfuyn]

I said the other day this was going to be Mount Carmel Revisited.

“Uh oh. Time to send in Janet Reno?”

Nah, we should just leave all those underage girls there to marry 50-year-old men and bear their children.

[pandoraou812]

I was thinking the same last night after I read about them removing children.

[Cacique]

Isn’t Mit Romney one of them?

Age of consent in TX is 17. Unless the group is systematically breaking that law, leave them alone.

Waco: The Sequel?

“...for a 16-year-old member who reported being physically abused.”

[El Conservador]

And have teenage boys kicked to the curb for inane infractions, in order to get rid of competition for the girls "because God said so".

[rightazrain]

They’re “systematically breaking the law” against polygamy. Do your research, and have a heart for these girl slaves who must obey their masters and “marry” dirty old men.

One of the main difficulties that Lost Boys face is that they are raised not to trust the outside world. In fact, leaving their communities is considered a sin worse than murder.

So being kicked out is just fine. IOW, the elder males are condemning the boys to hell for the crime of being young competition.

Nice religion.

[buck jarret]

Someone reported physical abuse and they go hunting an illegal marriage. They are clearly looking for an excuse.

Often physical abuse means whatever the authorities want it to mean.

[metmom]

Ewww. Sick that someone would defend abusers of women and girls.

[gracesdad]

“Age of consent in TX is 17. Unless the group is systematically breaking that law, leave them alone.”

So you approve of polygamy? And breaking th law?

[Lurker]

They’re “systematically breaking the law” against polygamy.

Isn't that a violation of the First Amendment guarantees of freedom of religion?

Not to fan any flames here, but I wonder how these cases will be handled in the future with Islam?

[buck jarret]

I don’t really understand the polygamy laws. Living with two or more persons is not illegal. One can only be legally married to one person at a time. If you say you are married to two or more people, you are in fact only legally married to one of them. And yet making that legally impossible claim is illegal even though the second marriage is fictional.

Don’t you just wish that sometimes you kept your mouth shut?
Think twice...speak once. Idiotic statement on your part.
