Sounds like someone is feeling the heat for not moving forward in a case
involving child abuse, sexual abuse, etc. Lame.

Of course Shurtleff has to make some claim about how he was "just
about" to do the same thing. If it is proven that underaged girls are being
sexually abused (and it looks like the authorities are finding plenty of
evidence that they are), FLDS spiritual wivery or not, he stands to get a lot of
egg on his face for turning a blind eye and only responding half-heartedly to
major accusations.

Sounds like Mark forgot to check with his public relations person, Paul Murphy,
before he greedily tried to grabbed some press time in his election year.

Oh, I informed them (Mark S. - Attny General) about there whereabouts, names,
addresses, family trees, numbered people, Guess what? They didn't care,
they did nothing. I gave them a great and perfect honest tip, explaining
everything, and they didn't even contact me back, I even sent it twice.
They don't care.

Thats funny, because I ALMOST ran for Attorney General in the last election. But
I didn't file my papers in time. Oh well. Do I still get credit?

On top of the physical and sex abuse - The Kingston family has been reported to
have over $150 million in assets yet the sisterwives and children live in run
down shacks in the West Capitol Hill area and have little food. The wives work
for the family businesses without pay. They are delivered expired food weekly.
The children are uneducated and unsupervised - many have physical and mental
issues. Each home is a registered daycare for tax and other fraudulent reasons.
The average sisterwife has over 10 children. It has been reported that one
Kingston has fathered over 106 children and collects welfare. Each child will at
some point work for the Kingston empire unpaid. When asked to inspect their
homes officials are denied and the courts and people like Shurtleff protect
them. You and I would be required to have an inspection or lose our License.
The Kingston corporate headquarters are located at 600 N and 300 W - raid the
headquarters and stop the fraud and abuse.

to bad people can't see past there own nose when the media jugdes a group
of people like this. I wonder why the press doesn't let any of the
Kingston's comment about there church the media always get one side of the
story, and it will always be like that because that is what makes the media what
it is today. Show me one Religious Group that doesn't have these problems.
