http://deseretnews.com/article/1,5143,700233685,00.htmlA Mormon owned newspaper quoted Texas officials wrote:
"There are many individuals who are willing to give up their life for the cause and you can never underestimate what a religious fanatic is capable of," according to the e-mails, which were obtained through Texas' public records law.
Apparently this is the semi-official website of the aggrieved in Texas.
The website is pretty hardcore. Not the best PR. But...After reading the minds and interpreting the “Glares” of people who have sat in a Courtroom, The Goon squad has concluded that there has been an influx of hit men (And women) coming to take revenge and intimidate the children and the foster families that house them.
All in all, I agree that law enforcement officials acted like jack booted Nazi bastards. In Texas, again, the police and social services skirted rules and regulation to use excessive force in a morally questionable raid that was as much intended to justify their own budgets and use of military tactics against civilians. Just like Waco.
Any chance of executing an investigation that would have resulted in abused family members went out the door when the armored cars rolled in. Think about it; you're a young girl and you want out, but calling the cops may bring in the Calvary with machine guns and armored tanks to break up ALL the families.
Save your anger for the alleged child molesting pligs and direct it at where it belongs; your idiotic government employees that can't even follow their own procedures resulting in a disastrous bumble.
Now let's read opinions of non-polygamist Mormons ( at least many of them must be as the Salt Lake Tribune is not delivered to Short Creek or Colorado City ); http://blogs.sltrib.com/plurallife/
''I thought Texas was better than this.''
''I hope that we are still 'America' in Texas.''
''Maybe Texas should [cede] from the union.''
''Please, I beg you to do the right thing.''
''Target the men.''
''It's the Mormons this time, but it could be you next.''
''If a Baptist girl called and made a criminal complaint would the 'authorities' take the children from everyone in the state, or how does that work?''
''Please pull the plug on the freebies for the cult.''
''Do something!!!''
''Hopefully other states will follow the example.''
''I hope Ohio don't start taking everyone's children in a community but cause of one alleged phone call.''
''Will it be a slap on the FLDS wrist or will we kill this cancer whose nature can not be changed?''
''I am shocked at the trampling of constitutional rights that is occurring in Eldorado, Texas.''
"This is horrid, as bad as detention of Japanese in California in World War II. What are you people thinking?"
''Reminds me of the round-up of the Jews during World War II.''
''Bravo for your courage, but also return children under 4 to their parents for psychological reasons.''
''Shame on you totalitarians.''
''Massive blunder.''
''Make an orphanage.''
''If you do nothing to protect these rights, you can be assured that you will not have my vote now or ever in the future.''
''I am not taking a vacation on the Texas coast this year due to the kidnapping of over 400 children.''
''In my almost 80 years of life I have seen a great many mistakes that politicians make. However, never to the magnitude that you are doing with these children by forcefully removing hundreds of them from their mothers. I would hope that your wife has the courage to kick your sorry butt out the door. At least our idiot Spitzer resigned.''
''I am glad Texas has the guts to liberate children from dirty old men hiding behind a so-call Christian religion but I bet you don't have the guts to liberate the children forced into Muslim marriages and living in Texas.''
''Please, please let the children go!!''
''The children are not at fault but they are being severely punished.''
''I hope your dreams will be disturbed by the cries of the children and babies separated in such a cruel and abusive manner.''
''First you give us George W. Bush and now this debacle.''
''I do not condone the church, the lifestyle, the beliefs. But I am far more fearful of what the state is doing to those kids in the name of 'safety' than I am of what will happen to them if they are allowed to remain with their loving mothers.''
''God bless Texas.''
''It's OK for crack moms and single moms with multiple children by multiple fathers to have their children but not these people. Can you explain to the public why?''
''I will never visit your state again or spend one penny on any Texas company's goods. You should be kicked out of America for this.''
''We can only hope and pray that Arizona and Utah will follow your example and put an end to this polygamist cult once and for all.''
''Gives those babies back to their mothers!''
''This is the most ridiculous thing I've heard about in some time.''
''These parents should receive at least as much due process as the druggie moms get when they consider removing kids.''
