Yet another religious cult raided

[Occhidiangela]

My problem with this is how it's being reported in the media. It's not "alleged child molestation case", it's "polygamous cult". I don't see what the big deal is if they want to have multiple partners; that's not a crime. The issue is whether there was any actual abuse going on. Everything else (at least as far as their religion, etc.) goes is irrelevant.

The news here reported that the initial call was a sixteen year old who reported a rape by her husband. (She's of legal age, sure, but if she reported a rape, how could the cops not respond? They had to act in some way, at the very least on her complaint. Blowing off a rape charge is not consistent with law and order, eh?)

For CPS to tar with that brush the entire group of people, and kids, and let CPS loose is hardly something that restores my faith in government. That "one bad all bad" line smells to high heaven.

Quark, I agree with you on the legality issue, the law is what it is, but I wonder if you think it is correct to discriminate against polygamists? Is it also right to discriminate against homosexual marriage?

Are you consistent in that point of view?
