Horrible story, awesome headline. I love the things that are considered acceptable in the name of religion.

Is this over? According to the AP there's a standoff..

Those poor kids - even though they are all clean and well fed, the stories that the 'escapees' tell are chilling. (Not to mention the reality of neglect for the boys and child rape for the girls)

I tried to make a funny headline about this and failed miserably.

Subby, you have won the intarwebz.

FTFA: The 1,700-acre property had been an exotic game ranch. It is surrounded by dusty, wind-swept land where sheep are raised and mohair produced.

I wonder if they'll get charged with sheep farking too.

Good troll. Is that like the "refugees" from Katrina?

Let it be said, for once and for all, these whacko groups are NOT Mormons. They broke off from the main Mormon church eons ago and the main church denounces any splinter groups. At least I think that's how it works...

This is why everybody hates Mormons.

Get your Waco 2.0 headlines ready...

are you suggesting that statutory rape is an unconstitutional law?

That is putting good use to the "Snowflake" meme.

Those people aren't Mormons. They broke off from the Mormon church a long time ago. You don't call Protestants "Catholics" just because they broke off from the Catholic church do you?

/duhhhhhh

Why shag a sheep when you can just tell a 12-year-old girl that she and her whole family are going to Hell unless she lets a 50-year-old with several wives already doink her?

I think he's suggesting that child abuse is a constitutional right. And that he'd bust a cap anyone who tries to get between him and his baseball team of teenage brides.

Here we go again?

Anonymocoso: Why shag a sheep when you can just tell a 12-year-old girl that she and her whole family are going to Hell unless she lets a 50-year-old with several wives already doink her?

Not only that, but let's let said 50-year-old pervert drive the girl's brothers off into the desert so there's less competition for him and the rest of his pals.

cornponebread: Let it be said, for once and for all, these whacko groups are NOT Mormons. They broke off from the main Mormon church eons ago and the main church denounces any splinter groups. At least I think that's how it works...

Y'know, it's really suspicious that every damn "-ist" group in the world seems to have to repeatedly tell the world that the latest bunch of their myrmidons to go off the ranch and start killing/raping/bombing are "NOT us -- they're a splinter group/rogue element/nutjob cult".

It's almost, well, like the problem is the "-ist" thing in the first place. Whether it's Bapt-, Islam-, Athe-, Creation- or Rac-, once you become an "ist" all your brains seem to immediately liquefy onto the floor.

FTFA: A search warrant authorized troopers to enter the retreat, run by the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. They are looking for evidence of a marriage between the girl and a 50-year-old man. Court documents the girl had a baby eight months ago, when she was 15.

Yes, because we are constitutionally guaranteed the right to impregnate 14-15 year old girls and force them into marriages with men old enough to be their grandfathers.

//not Morman.

You misspelled "moran".

/Moran.

Bucky Katt: are you suggesting that statutory rape is an unconstitutional law?

It's not a constitutional thing, you're right. But our founding fathers certainly didn't intend for an age of consent of 18 with decades of imprisonment for anyone who violated it, and a government that could separate hundreds of kids from their parents because of one isolated accusation.

That's why people are tempted to say this tramples all over the constitution. It's really just an (arguably unexpected) application of post-1960s law changes to religious groups.

/and yeah these people reflect on mainstream Mormons about as much as Jim Jones reflects on mainstream Christians... as in, not at all

I thought Waco ended perfectly, so I'm getting a kick...

Ed Grubermann: Yes, because we are constitutionally guaranteed the right to impregnate 14-15 year old girls and force them into marriages with men old enough to be their grandfathers.

When the constitution was written, that was pretty would have been a relatively common thing, actually.

Funny. Except they aren't Mormons. These people denounce "Mormonism," and the feelings are mutual. They took the ugliest moment in LDS history and built their entire belief system around it.

/duhhhhhh

Not to be trolling, but that's kinda like how Mormons like to call themselves Christians even though they broke away from the church a long time ago.

/have met lots and lots of Mormons who get indignant when other Christians won't call them Christians too

The founding fathers' would not have minded if a 19-year-old who had inherited a relative's farm married a 17-year-old.

These Child Molesters, they would have Air Conditioned their skulls with their muskets.

Your kids are calling, better go beat them.

First they came for the statutory rapists, and I did not speak up because I am not a statutory rapist...

At least those kids are safe. I can't believe what some people do in the name of religion.

Has the protective Government agency burned the place to the ground yet or will that happen in 6-8 weeks?
Plenty of time to get the popcorn ready.

So children who are being sexually abused by religious cultists are now called 'snowflakes' too now?

Arcangela: Not to be trolling, but that's kinda like how Mormons like to call themselves Christians even though they broke away from the church a long time ago.

In all fairness, "christian" isn't a church. It's just a belief in divinity of Christ.

So explain to me how it is that in looking for a single girl they then took away more than 150 women and children? Hmmm. They have every right to find that girl. And that is it.

llewyrr: At least those kids are safe stripped from their families. I can't believe what some people do in the name of religion over reaching government.
Better.

Yes, yes, we're all terribly enthralled with your delightful gun collection. Very nice, and I'm sure that your folks are very proud. More guns at a potential standoff; good thinking. In honour of your intelligence, I award you this:

knucklebreather: Ed Grubermann: Yes, because we are constitutionally guaranteed the right to impregnate 14-15 year old girls and force them into marriages with men old enough to be their grandfathers.

When the constitution was written, that was pretty would have been a relatively common thing, actually.

That is pretty much true, although the ages weren't really that young on average, if I remember correctly (have studied the history of marriage and the family).

The good news is we have moved on from that and make a better attempt to treat women as persons under the law and not cattle, which was also the tradition of 18th century America and Canada.

For the people claiming about the nanny state and ages of consent, I am betting a lot of the girls in this group were not consenting, so that probably solves that problem. Are you saying that a 14 or 15 year old girl doesn't have the right to refuse sex? Because a 14 or 15 year old girly may not have the power to refuse, doesn't it seem pertinent for the law to have a say in this?

baka-san: Anybody need to borrow a cup of sugar or something?


I might do that...but I'll be sure to knock loudly and announce who I am first.
