Sad to say, that people here are condemning the government’s actions when they are defending the same actions prepetrated by the cult.
The government can’t take away cell phones, but it’s OK to leave these women in a cult where the slave owner leaders take away their cell phones.
The government is being condemned for *breaking up families*, but it’s better for these women and children to stay in that compound where the slave owner leaders break up families by reassigning children and wives at whim.
The government is being condemned for not allowing the women and children freedom to go where they want, but I see no one condemning the cult leaders for not allowing the women and children to leave when they want.
All we hear is how bad the government it being and how it would be better to have left them alone when the cult is doing far worse and it’s being defended because it’s their *religious beliefs*.
So why is it acceptable for the cult to do these things but not the government?
Because the government is evil.
Always. Even now, it can’t be right. Ever.
Actually, I have nothing to say about the actions of the members of this group at all because all I've heard so far is demonizing propaganda from the government. I reserve judgment on them until the facts come out in court.
I am condemning the government because the rule of law has to mean something in this country or we are completely lost. From what I've read so far, the authorities jumped the gun a bit. I'm sure their search will turn up something to prosecure some folks there, because it's almost impossible to live one's daily life these days without breaking some law, but I'll be surprised if anyone is actually convicted on the charges being tossed around so freely here and in the media.
