Come on, now, tell the truth, don’t you wish you and your boys could catch me out somewhere so you could take care of me?

Baiting much?

Lots of it has been purchased later. I guess paying for it twice is not too much, considering the amount of our blood we left behind.

So if someone goes through your posting history, they’ll NEVER find a spelling error?

Right.

But since you’re going after my spelling instead of answering the questions, you’ve conceded defeat.

Now you can go look it up for yourself. That is, assuming you are not just attacking me but are really curious. There have been books written about those who were tried for the murder of Joseph and Hyrum.

They actually got a trial, by the way, not cold steel and hot lead from the Mormon Legion. Remember that when you are deciding on who was evil and who was not.

I didn’t find anything wrong with your spelling, either.

I don’t play defense.

Especially when SOMEone has loaded the question so tightly!

Perhaps, I don’t have the deed list handy, nor the amount of blood from both sides.

It is odd though, that one would return to such places, to such collective memories, once the connection is lost.

So, to most of your arguments, I can truly say that they are complete bloviation.

MOST??

And the rest are right on I assume; since you did not mention them.

You still haven't answered the other questions in post 139.

Could you site some sources of lynch mobs of any denomination, who register their activity with the authorities? What about the Mountain Meadows massacre? Or is this strictly a protestant thing?

So exactly how do you KNOW that the *lynch mob* was Protestants?

You are doing pretty good on your own.

Missouri was about stealing the saints’ land, pure and simple and the thieves got away with it.

SURE it was!

I guess the folks that wound up with the land considered it a great deal since they got it at unimproved prices and only had to kill a few pesky mormons to get it.

Guessing: is that kinda like MIND reading?
