Comments about ‘Beware of FLDS enforcers, Texas told’

Gee, not those peaceful, religious poligamists. Oh yeah, there was Ervil Labaron. Wasn't his clan a break-off of the Short Creek (Colorado City) group... the very one who is now in Texas? How many did he and his clan murder? And some of their victims were also in Texas.

There isn't a shred of evidence that any of these people have killed or harmed anyone. FLDS spokesman Jessop said:

"The fact that we would show up in court and then to have them turn that around on us shows how biased these public officials are,...There are no facts, no history of violence, not a shred of evidence to support these irresponsible allegations. Not one bit of it is true and these officials know it."

I guess anyone who attends a Court proceeding had better be prepared to be singled out as a threat. Don't attend your 15 year old brother's court hearing or you might be labeled a threat and have the police decide create a dossier on you. When did attending a Court hearing become a crime warranting the government creating a dossier on you? Those who have such dossiers on them have every to fear for themselves and their families when neighbors who serve as public officials start sending one another a "hit list." Posting Walther's number is a threat but giving an entire dossier on FLDS members isnt?

Maybe a dossier should be created on each of the people responsible for these dossiers (i.e., threats).

So this Hero Judge is now being threatened by people out side the FLDS Group. All I can say is that Federal Law Applies. A disturbed person can act alone, has more success alone, and the best chance to complete his/her task alone. I see this as sending a message. That Sherrill Law in the name of Culture is here, and it is not just the People from the Middle East that you have to been concerned about. Some people watch and when there is a lack of will in one area of Law Enforcement, there can usually find weaknesses in other areas. If they do not let us have our way then we will cry and complain and make the Law Enforcement People look like the bad guy. The Judge did the right thing and the Police and CPS did the right thing. Forced Marriage and Brainwashing are against the law. Forced Marriage and Sex with underage Girls is some degree of Rape. When the Slaves where Freed many did not leave. There was No Place to go, Children and shelter and the next meal had to be thought about. Can't Read, Can't Write, etc. So many stayed.

The Flds has no history of violnece. Labaron was not part of this group. The most htis group can be accused of is menacing stares at the trail of Warren Jeffs.

Just let Judge Walther worry about political and legal repercussions. She let a little authority go to her head and bit off more than she could chew.

Adam Swap is still in prison, John Singer and Ervil Lebaron are worm food, and if violence was going to happen it would have.

That's what happens when you believe gossip.

I'd worry a whole lot more about all those foamin, dancin Baptists.
Nothing is more dedicated than a Baptist wih God's message.
Granted, it IS hard to tell where their instructions come from, though.

How is it that a judge's address and phone number would be in a public phone book? I hardly doubt that. And I have seen some news coverages here where this sect of people are not very nice and polite as they claim to be in this article. They just know that now they have been discovered and so have their true colors and they just want to try to cover all of it up. Sorry I don't by that they are all that peaceful and would do no harm to anybody.

I find it interesting when people claim that everyone else is wrong about them, when evidence points the opposite. Let's see...and I am not pointing fingers, but it is interesting that the Govenor's Mansion in Austin burned down and ruled arson.....and now the warnings from Arizona and Utah.....makes me scratch my head. From the article, I can definitely see where Willie Jessop or Willie the Thug would intimidate people...watch the program on 48 Hours that was completed about Polygamy and watch his body language.

This group presents as a peaceful religious group, however comments made in this article, on the forums and in interviews made through direct comments and inuendos lead one to believe that they are not as peaceful as they want you to believe.

Think fire ants....as long as you leave them alone they don't bother you, but when you stir the nest look out. We have seen this through the media blitz'.

As I read the article the word "mob" comes to mind....same concept, just not behind the word religious.

I know I will get blasted for my statements, but I am tired of the portrayals being made that these folks are innocent. They are not.

"How many did he and his clan murder? And some of their victims were also in Texas."

Answer: None

Any more questions, Mr. Ed?

Who had the guns,who had the APC,who had the sniper oh and who was going to use them against women and children ? Now they are worried that someone got mad anything to help their cause.

Ed H - Wow, are you off-base.

For the record, I'm not FLDS, but I have researched this subject. Better bone up on your 'Polygamy 101'. I suggest 'Mormon Polygamy - A History' by Anderson as a study text. It accurately describes the origin and history of mormon polygamy within the church, and how the various groups started, what their basic beliefs are, and a history of each.

Ervil Lebaron was never associated with the group from 'Short Creek' (FLDS). The FLDS has a long history of being passive, and will likely continue to remain so.

'Judge' Walther has more to fear from within the legal/judicial system than she does from any supposed threat from the FLDS, for her blatant disregard for Texas law. Her judicial decisions were ruled illegal by the appeals court, AND the Texas supreme court.

No one's likely to hurt Walther - she's enough of a menace to herself. I suspect she's already destroyed any chance she had of advancing her career on the bench by her lack of judicial skill and disregard for individual liberties guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution.

Here goes Texas again, wasting more tax money on yet another lie.

violence known to have occurred in between Polygamist groups in the past and of course between them and the general public too, I think it is a wise idea to beef up security for officials involved in this incident...

Let's not forget the daughter-in-law and her child whos throats were slit due to "revelation from God"
because they were apostates not keeping covenants they had made.

In every religion there are crazy freaks... who I wouldn't trust any further than I could throw them.

remember .... "we are law abiding citizens..." breaking the law daily by living polygamy!!!

Here we go with the rumors again. Where's an example of some "violence" from any of these people? Has it ever been shown? I can make up rumors and accusations all day long about any person I want, but it doesn't change the truth.

If having a strange expression during a court hearing constitutes violent behavior, then Judge Walther should immediately be removed from office. I mean, look at her expression in the picture here. That's got to be intimidating to someone, right? I think I'll notify law enforcement. Everyone, be on the lookout.

Let the witch hunt begin.

It seems Texas will lie any lie to shift the "thug" spotlight off of themselves back onto the very people that they were persecuting.

I remember the resident thug in my middle-school beat the stuffing out of a kid and then claimed that the kid had been "staring" at him.

I see absolutely no difference with the situation in this story.

Gee, was the threast made by 'Sarah'? Here goes Texas again.

Oh Please! Now we'll get all the weirdo Danite believers posting. Please let these people go in peace!
