Is it just me or does this remind you of the raid against David Koresh and the Branch Davidians back during Janet Reno’s days?
Hmmm, a 16 year old girl claims to be forcefully married to a 50-year old man and bore him a child. And this results in the massive police and child protection raid, where hundreds are arrested and seized?
And this is worse than six and nine year old girls being forcefully married to 45 year old men (like Aisha was to Mohammed) that is still going on to thousands of Muslim girls today?
This is worse than drug dealers addicting, raping, and forcing into prostitution tens of thousands of teenagers and preteenagers every year in the US alone?
Why the selective outrage? Why doesn’t the government act the same against the polygamist Muslims and the drug dealers?
Frankly, Warren Jeff and his fundamentalist Mormon group sicken me - I’ve no respect for people like that. Still, this selectivism, where only white Christian loonies are the bad guys, should be bothersome to all.
Do you honestly believe a 16 year old girl really wanted to be married to a 50 year old man?
There are whole neighborhoods in major cities across the US where the police won’t go at all - even if they know a suspect is in that neighborhood. The reasons for that are several. So yes, you have a valid point. Not all crime is being actively persued with the same zeal.
“Why the selective outrage?”
The same place as the evidence. You find proof of any of that taking place in any specific place in an organized way like this, and the same kind of raid will happen. No double standard, no “white Christian” bias, no “selective outrage”.
Good points. Narrow and selective investigation and prosecution in a world with far greater crime and mayhem! Too bad these so called LEO’s can’t muster the same level of outrage at the high murder rate, drug and human trafficking all along our southern border. Maybe there isn’t enough money it this for them as there is in the drug and human smuggling business.
Let me see if I get your point, Ed, you are asserting that because ALL criminal behaviors are not being addressed equally this sort of criminal behavior should be ignored and the victims relegated to ‘victims of failed state controls’?
Sadly, you need look no further than this thread for the answer.
