Can I just be the 5 millionth person to say, "Eeewwww!"

Possummomma, being a parent, has quite a lot to say about this:

I know I haven't commented much on the recent FLDS raid or its subsequent fallout, particularly as it's practically a local occurrence. Mainly, my reaction was just to shake my head. It now appears that the state was completely punk'd, at least as far as that original phone call that led to the raid, now widely considered a hoax, is concerned. And the state's draconian approach to its raid — simply to swoop down and haul everybody off without much at all in the way of a preliminary investigation — has led to its humiliation following the court's recent ruling that the raid was just all kinds of wrong.

On the other hand, what clearer evidence do you need that pedophiliac sickness was part of these people's standard operating procedure than the above photographs, showing übercreep Warren Jeffs smooching one of his child brides? I mean, it just makes you ill to look at it.

Something clearly has to be done to put the kibosh on these little cults that victimize children — as yes, you can call what you do "spiritual marriage" all you like, but all you've done is concoct a spiffy metaphor for "rape" — and shield themselves from repercussions by saying "But it's our religion!" But the state's raid wasn't the right one. And you just know the FLDS will simply see this as a vindication of their way of life in opposition to the Satanic government that seeks to oppress and criminalize them. What to do?
