So now what?

Turns out the phone call that kicked over the FLDS - El Dorado - Texas Ranger - CPS anthill was…a hoax?
The calls to the former sect member, meanwhile, led the Rangers to Colorado Springs, Colo., where police Wednesday arrested Rozita Swinton, a 33-year-old black woman.
She was charged with falsely reporting abuse to authorities in connection with a separate incident in Colorado Springs two months ago.
Texas authorities say Swinton is a person of interest in their search for the girl whose call prompted them to raid the Yearning for Zion Ranch.
Crazy, man. Texas-sized Crazy.
I know this might be an unpopular suggestion, but can we at least let the mothers and their children get back together? I know their “prairie-style dresses”* and 1960s Pentecostal hairdos are off-putting to a world raised on Britney & Amy Winehouse, but those trappings are rightly none of our concern.
* ‘Journalist’-speak for any non-pants outfit that doesn’t expose your crotch while you get out of a limo.

Bad idea. I’ve heard there was a terrible Morman gang problem down there in San Angelo. Young Mormans flashing gang signs, walking around with their woolen pants sagging down, constantly in turf wars over their crack houses

That comment would make me giggle harder, or even guffaw, if you had just spelled Mormon correctly.

Christian Prophet has spammed about every comment section of every blog that I have read who have posted about this with the exact same comment and set of links. Just thought you’d like to know…

Not really sure if that’s a good idea or not. From my eyes and ears on the ground out there, whenever the girls were asked what their age was, they were “reminded” by the older women that they were “eighteen”.
The more I read about these people, the more my skin crawls. Considering that I was told that Rangers who were at the compound had to take breaks to compose themselves while going through the temple and other buildings, I’m not particularly certain how much I want those kids back in the arms of those people.

Them mormon boys on their missions can be pretty dang scary, wearin’ them skinny neckties & white shirts & all, but the Amish really have them beat being more East-Coast mafia gang stuff.
Listen to the sound of an Amish drive-by shooting:
“clop clop clop BANG BANG clopclopclopclopclop…”

Not a chance. The wheels of government grind slow and fine. Especially the wheels of CPS. Don’t matter how they got in there. It’s what they found and did that counts. So they say.
