Karr will now fade as Warren Jeffs, Polygamist Fugitive was just arrested.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

He was on the 10 Most Wanted List of the FBI....... More crap to be reported on to cover up the real news.....

[lonestarnot]

1. Oh boy.

[Scout1071]

2. Actually, this is pretty big news.

He was definitely wanted and there was concern it could be another Branch Davidian scene. Frankly, I'm please that he is in custody and off the streets.

[soothsayer]

4. you mean concern that the fbi would bungle it and burn to death

a bunch of innocent folks?

[Scout1071]

9. Yes, I was concerned - as were they - that it would lead to a standoff

at their compound, resulting in a lot of unnecessary deaths. Although I'm not sure how innocent some of those men are.

[soothsayer]

10. true, true

[NaturalHigh]

3. I hope none of his followers decide to declare war.

These people make the Branch Davidians look sane.

5. Well glory hallelujah and thank G-d,

the country is now safe and we can all sleep better at night.

[LynneSin]

8. I'm not sure why you're so light-hearted about this

The man committed statuatory rape with countless girls, oust hundreds of boys from the church because they competed with his pologamist practice. The guy would randomly reassign wives and children from one husband to another simply on a whim of how he felt about that particular person.

This guy is creepo #1 - glad to have him off the streets

[Freedom_from_Chains]

16. I just think there are things a little more important going on in the

world right now than this. But hey, what do I know?

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

18. I'm not light-hearted about this at all. The man is apparently

horrible, but right now I believe the attention of our country should be on the 9 more soldiers and countless of Iraqis killed in the last couple of days. This is going to fill the airwaves and so much of importance is going to be ignored.

[LynneSin]

6. He was more than a polygamist....

He also raped and abused children (mainly from forcing them into marriage at a young age).

[Coventina]

11. He is also involved in MASSIVE government money fraud.

Taxpayers have been underwriting his cult for years.

Maybe if we bring that up people will care.

:shrug:

[slaveplanet]

19. yep, the cult even had a term

for it... "bleeding the beast"
they were proud of this type of activity.


Now the beast is going to bleed their leader.

[VelmaD]

14. I'm going to be pedantic...he wasn't a polygamist...he was a polygynist

Polygamy is having morem than one spouse...no gender specified...everybody gets to play. Polygyny is the practice where only men are allowed to have multiple wives.

[originalpckelly]

7. Did anyone else notice how Bush being subpoened...

is not being covered, yet Warren Jeffs is? Not all things that happen at the same time are connected, but it does seem pretty damn weird doesn't it?

[Hidden Stillness]

12. Women are Never "Real News"

This Jeffs is the leader of a violent, mind-controlling cult that treats women and girls as slaves and the property of not only males but Jeffs personally, tracks down and attacks its dissident members, and has committed untold numbers of embezzlement and other fraud crimes, but, as always here, because the worst victims are women and girls, "therefore" it is "trivial." Tell us what male issues we must pay attention to.

[LynneSin]

13. AMEN ALLELUIA AND THANK YOU

People who think this is just a distraction clearly don't know anything about who Jeffs is, the number of lives that he has ruined and just what a monster he is.

How many more underage girls need to be sexually abused before we care?
How many more underage boys have to be excommunicated out into the streets away from their families; with no income, home or education before we care?

Thanks for pointing out what should have been the obvious to everyone

[johnnie]

15. He's a punk

He is also accused of molesting his nephews. Of course I am sure that there are many other children he did that to. He is a piece of shit and I am glad they got the son of a bitch.
