It should be clear to any right thinking person that the FLDS members are being persecuted for their relgious beliefs by bigots and haters who are using the color of law to carry out their evil. And it should also be clear that the FLDS members can no longer turn the other cheek. They can no longer just leave others alone and hope that others will leave them alone. It's time to shine the light on the haters and bigots and send them scurrying back under the rocks with all the other loathsome creatures.

Agreed!

FLDS is not a religion... its a cult so he should have no suit....

[Usairbloom]

I'm Sorry, but I don't think it has to do with a perspective of religous persecution. They asked him a simple question that he should have been able to answer. As a police officer you are to obey and uphold the law. He takes no consideration into what those girls have to go through. Do your job.

[Usairbloom]

They did not ask anything to do with religion. They asked about his job. Apparently by the answering the question he would be withholding information in a federal crime which is a crime in itself. He's lucky he didn't have more handed to him. And you that stand behind him are pedofiles.

Oh they are soooo persecuted aren't they?
People are trying to stop kids and women from being raped by old men.
What a crime.

To tomorrow, when there is so much hatred by so many people, can it be possible that a wise man would look inside himself to see if he's been a persecutor of a misunderstood pure people. And like Jesus and Paul and Joseph Smith, they are trying to live to the best of their ability.

mad. you are mad because you are misinformed and your emotions are riled-up by liars and hate-filled dissenters. if you knew these people like I do and was able to calm your rage, you could ask me any question and I would answer it as best I can.

I don't hate anyone. However, I abhor child abuse.
Joseph Smith is no one to me. Only a male child molester.

What do you think? Sam Brower is going to be objective? He was hired to give a scathing report of the FLDS. There is no secret mafia-type life there. He has no evidence. When the UEP was set-up, it was designed not to be legally torn apart by the ever-present enemy. Those who were dismissed due to improprieties, they with bitterness and feelings of rebellion and hate, will retaliate.
The criminal thought that is portrayed is not accurate at all.

They set it up to be able to throw people out of their houses if the "profit" said they were to be.
That isn't legal to throw someone out of their home because of religion.
That is why the UEP was torn up, as you say. It wasn't constitutional. Plus the fact that Jeff's was running it for a money making scheme for himself and his faithful men.
Read the documents. It's all there in black and white.
Today with the computers it is making it very hard for them to lie as they have gotten by with for years.
It has caught up with them, because the truth has been exposed.

[VisionClarity]

UEP is not broken up as yet. Every time the authorities try to destroy it or tear up the FLDS, they fail because of 1 thing. that they are good and wholesome people and everyone else who hates them have hate that is unfounded and prejudiced. You do not want to see how any of the cases end and are finalized and how often FLDS are vindicated.
