They purchased land to probably try and build another compound like they had in Texas. Hope it gets stopped!!

me too cause they are pedofiles plain and simple . Anybody who does not think they are pedofiles you need to look Utah . Utah is full of the compounds and I guess law enforcement just looks the other way . I would be protesting up and down and getting other people to protest with me if they had any idea to build a compound here where I live .Oh yes and let us not forget Texas they seem to love Texas too .

They probably make deals behind closed doors with the county or city leaders, agreeing to pay/donate money/taxes in return for instructing law enforcement to look the other way, as long as the criminal activity is confined to their property ONLY, they are able to keep it secret and hidden, it also provides plausible deniability for local law enforcement.

That's WAY up there, but all the same MN isn't the place I'd go in this country if I wanted to be left alone by the Government.

Really? Still? Where are the CPS people? Why doesn't anyone care about the children? How can law enforcement look the other way??!!! Why doesn't anyone care about the trauma those very young teens are experiencing? Wasn't one of the girls that Jeffs "married" only 12 years old?

WTF is wrong with people??! The world has gone mad!

And while we're at it (warning: Ruthie's in rant mode), what about the older wives? How can they sit by and let their younger sisters or nieces, or even their daughters, be sucked into such a marriage? They know what they went through, themselves, as young teens. How could they wish that on a loved one, or anyone else? Sure, some are brainwashed, but I would think some would still have some human compassion left, especially if they endured some horrible scene after being married off to some sleaze-bag, even if he did have social standing in their excuse for a community.

This is why it is a cult. This is not a normal group of regular folks who hang out and have chicken dinners. It is a cult.

I remember the outrage by certain segments of our society when the authorities raided one of the compounds a few years ago. Big Government they whined.

Ah! Right. People don't think straight in cults. That's so sad.

OK, so, back to my other points, since outsiders know it's a cult, why do they look the other way? Again--where is CPS? Why does LE enable the abuse by looking the other way?

On a bright note, did y'all hear that the Pope fired a Cardinal for sex abuse? Way to go, Pope! There's hope, yet.

Isn't that kinda what government's for? Setting national standards in certain arenas, and enforcing them? Desegregation, child labor laws, etc.?

Who were the "certain segments"?
