Arrested for what? Being a polygamist?

From the link, it looks to be a little more than just being a polygamist.

Ah I see. Thanks for the links. Didn't know anything about the guy. He sounds like a real winner.

The thing about this guy is that he has a large following of people who protected him, and hid him, including law enforcement officials in his county who were members of his Sect. He was hard to catch, and I'm glad this scumbag is behind bars.

So he can give or take away wives from members of his flock at will according to their worthiness, and he takes the lion's share of women.

Sounds like the typical alpha male behavior to me.

Sick sick sick. I cant believe some of the things they believe. I was reading on wikipedia that they had a guy guild an oven to destroy DNA evidence if they have to kill someone for commiting too many sins.

I was raised religious and I swear religion is the craziest thing in the world.

- What's scarier is that the theology of blood atonement originated and was advocated by Brigham Young.

Think about that next time you hear about Brigham Young University or other various institutions named after the guy.

It sounds like the typical Holy Crap People Can Be Dumb behaviour as well.

Maybe it's because I wasn't born in ######ville, but I don't understand how person can get so far down the garden path that they let this scuzzy Bob Saget-lookalike take away their wife or daughter.

I did find it interesting in that wiki article that the women aren't allowed to wear pants, but then I realized that it meant they probably had to wear something other than pants, and weren't just walking around with no pants on.
