That's what happens when people don't have their ID in Texas and they piss off the constabulary [:D] . Thankfully, the Courts prevail [8|] .

The FLDS folks are dangerous

Dangerous to whom?  What threats have they made against others not of their faith?

From time to time here, we get a number of posters who see a bloody revolution against the US government as the inevitable result of growing disenfranchisement, manipulation, division and exploitation.

And yet, when we come across a group which has taken a stance which premeditates for such a situation, we are informed that they are a dangerous bunch of sexual predators, against whom the US government must act.

Does anyone here think, that this is not all a little convenient that those who make the effort to separate themselves from subjection to what is often described here as a corrupt system, all turn out to be dangerous, violent, sexual predators?

To me...regretfully not thankfully... I do believe the children should return to their parents however.

That is a weird bunch down there...of course just in my opinion

If that is your defense of a group with a reputaton for being racist, violent, child molesters long before this incident,  you aren't doing too well.
The history of this bunch has been posted repeatedly here on the CM forums and in the news, and yet people still want to ignore that and pretend this is all about freedom from the 'evil gummint'.[&o]

As the original poster I wasn't fully aware of the background to this case. It seems there was justification for fears, just a pity the authorities didn't do a wee bit more research before stampeding in. Unfortunately, the state having a finger wagged at it by a judge has given some legitimacy to the cult in the outside world.
 
I've no doubt that there are those who choose to use the chat forums as a way of hiding their own warped ways, however there does seem to be an OTT response in both the UK and the US in regards to certain alleged activities, which seem not to be against legitimate kinksters, but more for "good press"!
