Good Work, Asst. DA Allison Palmer

Scott Henson raises a very disturbing point over at Grits For Breakfast:

Without the fiction of rescuing a sixteen year old rape victim to justify their military-style entry into the YFZ Ranch, everything that’s happened begins to look like a modern day witch hunt. I’ve argued repeatedly that any real sexual predators would go free because the raid has been mishandled, and this shows why.

    From the start of this, I have been worried about what is really happening. This looks more and more like terrible government persecution of a religious minority. Thank you, Wick, for watching this situation with a critical eye. Seems like few others are at the present time.

    Gadzooks! I love conspiracy theories and mine is that the republicans wanted to make sure McCain didn’t choose Romney so they arranged a little dust up of the faithful. BTW, if they question those folks long enough and in fact find an under aged marriage in the flock, will that be probable cause to raid every other Mormon compound in the good ole USA - or just the ones where the daddy may have lived prior to moving to Texas?

    The only problem with your conspiracy theory, Overlord, is that Romney isn’t in the same church as the YFZ people. (Guilt be extremely remote association, perhaps?)

    Modern day witch hunt? Just curious — where is the coverage from Wick about all the 14-17 year old girls have had babies or are pregnant? Isn’t the media reporting that more than 50% of the girls — yes GIRLS — had babies or are pregnant?
