Arrests At Bountiful

Yesterday the RCMP swooped into Bountiful, B.C. a small community on the B.C.
Idaho Border & arrested two key men & charged them with exploitation of women.
They have been investigating the sect for over 20 years but without any witnesses to come forward, they always felt thier case was weak.

What this case will do will be to drag on throughout the courts for years & years to come because of court challenges & appeals.

Oh, I thought he was just referring to the futility of the justice system, but that's just how I read it.

There was a debate recently about about the Canadian vs US justice system.
While the Canadian one is bad, it can drrrrrraaaaaaagggggg!

I dislike this being referred to as freedom of religion vs protecting women.

This should be about protecting women----period!

At least they are moving ahead.

Re: Arrests At Bountiful

Freedom of religion is a two edged sword.. a mixed blessing. I thank God for it though.

Re: Arrests At Bountiful

I misread the title, first time I saw it, as "Arrests are Beautiful". Funny, now I can't stop misreading it! Sigh.
