What Would Wilson Do?

All I have to say about this FLDS/Polygamy thing is, if they were black or Hispanic, the authorities would have gone Wilson Goode on their asses. Goode, you may remember, showed some bad judgement in 1985 in his handling of the MOVE cult. He gave the order to blast them into the Stone Age. The initial opinion toward his handling of the situation was very positive, quite different from David Koresh or the folks at Ruby Ridge or any of the other anti-government organizations. Later on it was suggested by some parties (most notably his Republican opponents) that maybe he should have handled it in a slightly less explosiony manner. I'm sure they would have had sit-ins, baked cookies and reasoned with John Africa, maybe gently persuading him that shouting depredations from megaphones and not allowing your trash to be picked up might be considered a tad unpopular. They would have all been singing kum-ba-yah and holding hands around a campfire. Probably not.

I think these plural wife-having zealots secretly had the envy of many of the authority figures,
who wish they could figure out how to keep all the gals for themselves, no matter how fat and bald they are, protecting those good white women from defilement in the real world. They probably wanted to just leave them alone, until the world stood up and took notice.

Personally, I don't see how they can do it. I have one wife, and sometimes that is too many!

Oh and that guy who keeps putting the anti-immigrant slander on his signs at the Casa D'Ick or whatever it's called es una pendejo grande.
