I saw that earlier. It's amazing what people will do to other people. And what they get away with.

Re: Mormon Gulags (none / 0)

I don't know how they get away with it. Unfortunately, Utah, as others pointed out, is so thoroughly controlled by the LDS that it becomes nearly impossible to do anything about it. The feds have a difficult enough time going after the Mormons in West Texas and northern Arizona, but Utah is a whole different ballgame.

Re: Mormon Gulags (4.00 / 2)

Interestingly enough, it was state charges that brought down the polygamists in AR and TX, but strictly speaking they were Mormon schismatics (FLDS). We probably would never have heard anything if they had been reconciled with the Mormon establishment.
