Boy that sounds like lds Danite talk (circa 1838-1841 in Missouri). Speaking of which...H. Michael Marquardt wrote about the Danites, the LDS Missouri militia, and Parley P. Pratt's linkage:
"Captain Samuel Bogart said that on the evening of October 24 [1841] he met with several Mormons and read to them his order of General Atchison. Bogart supposed that they would inform the Mormons of Caldwell County the character of his company. Wiatt Craven, who was in Captain Bogart's company, mentioned that Parley P. Pratt and David Patten made an attack upon them and Craven was wounded. Craven said the Mormons approached them and both parties commenced firing about the same time and he was taken prisoner. Moses Rowland and several Mormons were killed during this battle. Testifying also was John Lockhart who was in Bogart's company being one of two picket guards. The guards hailed the other company, that was the Mormon company, and told them to lay down their arms but they did not. Nehemiah Odle, Sr. was also in the battle of October 25 between Captain Bogart and the Mormons. Odle said Parley P. Pratt participated but he did not know who fired first. (Marquardt, pp. 486-487 -- see source citation below)
It was then reported that Mormons broke into a store in Gallatin, MO (stored owned by Jacob Stollings).

But with all of the exploits of Pratt -- Mitt's Romney direct ancestor -- funny we don't hear him talking about him...all his wives, his early apologetics of belittling those who oppose Mormonism, his wounding of other militia members in gun battles, his taking a married wife away from Arkansas and how he died as a result. Instead, during the campaign, Romney said he couldn't imagine anything more terrible than being in such polygamous family arrangements.
