“ROTFLOL! You’re the one who said that the letter was from perverts. Since the mothers wrote the letter, you are saying they are perverts.”
It is a polygamy cult that practices child rape, both things are against the law and both things involve sex, of course the adult members are perverts.
The question is can we succeed in doing anything about it.
We got their leader and he was convicted for being an administrator of those practices, he was sentenced to a possible life sentence only months ago.
You know that, yet you seem to be rooting for no more convictions or harassment of the group and their practices.
We are tormented by the real likely hood that we will never be able to stop this cycle of sex enslavement and child rape, and assignment to old polygamists, and you guys root for the cult, and mock the legal efforts to bring them to justice.
I don’t get it.
Revenge for Waco means sacrificing this group.
I just thought we might have some arrests, trials and convictions before taking people away and holding them incommunicado.
A lot of what I’m hearing here convinces me of my premiss that we are never more than a step away from the concentration camp. I should remind everyone that a certain German government put forward the proposition that Judaism wasn’t so much a religion as a criminal conspiracy, before depriving those people of first their rights, then their property, then their freedom, and finally their lives.
Of course it was for everyone’s good...
I'm rooting for the authorities to have an attitude that if a crime has been committed, go after the criminals.
I'm rooting for the survival of an America where we don't just confiscate things because they might be misused. (Turn in your guns, please.)
I'm rooting for a populace that serves as a watchdog, to keep authorities in their rightful place, where their crime-fighting doesn't become overzealous and trample the rights of citizens they might consider odd or too religious or different.
And I'm rooting for FR to stop looking so much like DU, filled with statist garbage.
We are tormented by the real likely hood that we will never be able to stop this cycle of sex enslavement and child rape, and assignment to old polygamists, and you guys root for the cult, and mock the legal efforts to bring them to justice.
Nope. I mock--and more than mock--illegal efforts. Legal efforts toward justice, I applaud heartily.
We don't know the contents of the warrant. We don't know the details of what was found in the searching/ransacking. And--though this is heresy to the lynch mob--we don't know which of these mothers is guilty. (Heck, even the lynch mob can't agree if they are "guilty criminal perverts" or "brainwashed innocent tools" or whatever!) But if we are not vigilant during and after the incident in ensuring that it was properly conducted, then we invite abuse in the future.
I don’t get it.
Try looking to history for that answer. You'll find that those who give up liberty and rights for law and order will soon find themselves on the bottom side of a boot or the wrong side of the law.
Wanting justice to protect the innocent does not mean a person is against punishing the guilty.
