You refuse to address the striking differences between the behavior of the “protestants” and the lds at MM. Why is that?

I’ll pose the question this way, Do you condone the deceitful, despicable and devilish behavior of the lds at MM because of the militia at Haun’s Mill who were fighting an armed group of men and the mob at Carthage where only armed men were killed/wounded?

Keep in mind that 19 years had passed since the events in MO and that the Fancher-Baker Party was from Arkansas, not Missouri so there would have been no moral or legitimate reason for taking revenge upon those settlers on their way to CA.

Are you saying that there is a moral equivalency because a) men were killed in gun battles, therefore b) unarmed men, women and children become acceptable targets?

Perhaps you should tell the truth about Carthage. Hyrum was not armed. Joseph had a pepper box. Wow. I guess it was perfectly fine for those wonderful protestants to shoot down those dirty Mormons while they were IN JAIL on trumped up charges.
