ended up trapping JS and his brother in a Jail, and don’t wait for the Law

Smiths Freemason buddies all Mormons shot back after Smith murdered 2 of them and wounded another..
if Smith didn’t want to be shot he shouldn’t have started it and tried to shoot his way out of the jail where he was rightfully arrested for destruction of property and inciting a riot and threatening and endangering the lives of the citizens of Nauvoo ..
and some other things..
you did know Nauvoo was still in the United States and thus all residents including self crowned “king” Joey Smith were all subject to prosecution for willfully breaking the laws ???
Smith was never above the law just because he said so...
oh and it was Smith who shot his brother Hiram in the back..
Anyone in their right mind should shoot when they are ambushed by a raging mob...
IIRC there was another printing press that was printing the Book of Commandments that instigators had destroyed ...and now the instigators printing press was being destroyed for printing slander...
Imagine that...
