“It sounds like you WANT to believe the worst about these people, rather than approaching the accusations with an open mind.”
Thank you for saying that. These threads are very interesting. Normally, FReepers are pro Constitution, anti big brother government . . . until it comes to the FLDS. Then they mysteriously become anti Constitution, pro big brother government. Go figure.
I keep reminding everyone that the raid was initiated on a false report. If someone accused you of something, and it was a lie, and the authorities raided your property on the basis of a lie, and took your children away from you, dumped them first in a coliseum and then foster homes hither and yon, how would you feel? But when it comes to the FLDS, it’s like they are non human. Why is it OK to treat the FLDS like that? I don’t get it.
Actually, in your scenario, false report, feds raid, THEY SEE EVIDENCE OF ABUSE, and took children, that makes the story just a little different, but it was what really happened here. Why do you continue to leave that little tidbit out?
