Pilot: Temple Raid Most Tense Moment

[bill4long]

Brigham Young would be proud

[drumsrus100]

@bill4long Brigham Young had nothing to do with these people..it's a shame they disgrace the actual Mormon religion (LDS)

[bill4long]

@drumsrus100 You don't know history. The FLDS live very closely to how Brigham Young and church empire lived

[drumsrus100]

@bill4long that fact that you're referring to their history as "church empire" shows how little you know..go study the Mormon faith before you make such ignorant statements

[bill4long]

@drumsrus100 I was a Mormon for 20 years and have studied the Mormon Church extensively. The fact is, the Mormon Church under Brigham Young was very much like the FLDS church is today. I know that must be uncomfortable for you.

[drumsrus100]

@bill4long yes, and after 1890 any traces of polygamy were unrelated to the Mormon church. Young was dead before this period, but i'm sure today he would be okay with the direction the church has turned

[wiseguy1989xx]

moment description fail

[astanavilla]

this is bullshit..

[Perfectserious]

USA the retarded country

Save children by taking away them from there mothers. Killing kids legal in other countrys

[TheHunter2008]

I think the didn't pay their taxes, therefore they were arrested... not because of child porn... there are a lot of child porn producers all around USA without being jailed...

[snypaboi92]

i'm confused. what religion is this? what actually went on and what is this about?

[TheHunter2008]

I don't know!

[lindalds]

They believe that a man can't be saved in heaven unless he has as many wives as he can get. The women are kept secluded and are brainwashed from birth that they will never get to heaven unles they do whatever their elders tell them. Men and boys are routinely kicked out of the group so as to reduce the competition for the women. An elder can kick out one man, and take his wives and children, little boys are kicked out without warning or any way to take care of themselves.

It's so sad!

[annieooobananie]

that has nothing to do with it. The investigation took place in the first place because a young girl called in saying she was underage and in an abusive relationship with a considerabley older man. After further investigation they found many more underage girls in illegal relationships, many against their will. Plus polygamy is illegal in the U.S. Many abuse cases were founded also. So please don't talk if you have no idea what you're talking about.

[TheHunter2008]

yeah you wrote the official version. But somehow for unknown reasons many priests who had molested childs and a lot of child-porn producers were not jailed or even arrested. Maybe you can tell me why, for I don't know anything, but you do! ^^

[n0th1ngsw33t01]

they found matresses in there for spiritual sex with minors

[wemallards]

"Raiding the temple was a very tense moment"

DOH! That's like saying "Robbing the 24 year old blonde's virginity was quite a tense moment"

That was a sacred building to the people and nobody had the right to enter.

[mango32tube]

"Very Homely Looking", how rude! I am not FLDS, but I think these people worked hard to turn solid rock to fields, etc. They are not all wackos, I can't believe we will let Gay Marriage happen, but a man can't have more than one wife! I understand though that she needs to be over 18 before she gets married, then I have no problem with it.

[superkid12345]

I have never seen so much idiotic reasoning in one paragraph. You don't understand gay marriage, but polygamy is okay? So multiple partners is better than monogamy? And just because they turned rock into fields doesn't mean they can prevent any and all goverment authority from inquiring about the way they treat each other and their children on AMERICAN soil. FLDS isn't an independant nation, they still live in America and need to follow America's rules.

[imikewillrockyou]

FLASH! The courts just revealed the truth. There was ONE underage pregnancy out of 400 children. Hell, Houston can't even claim anything close to that good of record. With logic they are using all the children in Houston should be taken by the state due to the massive abuse going on in that community. Half the families in America today are in broken homes with multiple mothers and fathers involved. At least the FLDS children are drug free and know who their father is AND he sticks around.

[bsl103158]

paper shredder was going in temple when authorities got in after hours of delay at gate /these people were handled with kid gloves, actually. / allowed all kinds of things, given special food, many donated to this cause. It's utter disgrace Texas is being portrayed so badly. lifestyle of the flds is extremely controlled. the people follow orders of leaders like zombies.If mothers are extra young birth records are falsified or destoyed. Many interviewed said did not know own birthday.

[imikewillrockyou]

I'm no defender of the FLDS faith, just their right to practice it. If someone has committed a criminal act then by all means prosecute them. However, kidnapping ALL the children from their mothers because the state thinks someone might be breaking a law is absurd. And thank God the court understood that. Those "abused" mothers claim they are happy, they have cars, phones and they read and write. Many FLDS leave and many return also. They are not prisoners it's their home.

[dlsa6mono]

at least someone is stirring up the truth.

[euromann12]

EXCELLENT video, this is what you tube is all about. no hatred incitement at all.

[CRISTO359]

Matthew 5 - 10

Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Blessed are you when people revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account.

Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

[dlsa6mono]

your a fuckin loser. just cuz you believe doesnt make it right you dumbass. andy 4-33 THALL SHALL NOT LISTEN TO DUMBASSES WHO ARE RACIST RAPISTS andy 22-67 A PERSON WHO TREATS CHILDREN LIKE MEAT WILL GET EATEN BY MY DOGS andy 11-4 IF THE DEVIL IS REAL HE HAS ALREADY WON WITH MASS ORGANIZED CHAOS THROUGH RELIGIOUS ANARCHY. lol. this is so fuckin typical of pussy ass shit. the world needs to let america break the religious barriers down and stop trying to tear us down for being arrogant and fat.

[levy3poop]

dlsa6mono, you need to calm down.

you can't just shout slanderous terms at someone and seem right.

and you really can't just make up something and say it's from a book of the bible that doesn't exist.

people like you make me sick

[nnnneva]

Well, amazing structure that our welfare system paid for, eh? These women claim they have a "spiritual" marriage yet receive welfare benefits as single mothers. They move families back and forth between UT, AZ & TX so how many states are paying for each child? They call it "bleeding the beast"! And how are they getting anything without valid birth certificates? Seems like we all got hosed.

[VivaLaRazaBlanca]

"bleeding the beast"!Sounds GREAT! I'd rather have my money going to White folks than to beaners.

[OleoStrut71]

Texas Welfare investigated and found NO CHILD ABUSE and the County Sheriff found the same.

NO CHILD ABUSE among the Davidians.

[dlsa6mono]

as you show its fuckin retarded to actually really think cuz your stupid view and texas stupid view that there was no abuse. we are animals who have been given logic and reason. lets not lose that.

[mayjunee]

It is not wright what has been done to these people,see captivefldschildren.

[lostcityundead]

Warren jepps and his sicko pals all belong in the penetentiary for child molestation.

[skyecolispeedo]

All these pedophiles and sex offenders will get what they deserve.

[OleoStrut71]

At least Texas, the FBI, The ATF and Delta Force didn't shoot and burn to deth these people!

Like they did the Branch Davidians in 1993 and then bulldoze all the evidence.

Now they're just into kidnapping them.

[FoxNGrass]

So you support child sexual abuse? The Davidians were responsible for their own actions.

[Esco]

this is a law...these are sexual fanatics....this is sick....this is molestation....this is a brainwashing cult...8 year old children shouldnt be being sexually abused and impregnanted....ITS AGAINST THE LAW...none of these people deseve there children

[LDSraidTEXASarchive]

This illegal and unconstitutional military raid on this community was an atrosity.

Dont be fooled by marxist jew government propaganda!

The issue is NOT whether or not you agree with these peoples beliefs.

IT IS ABOUT THE F%$#ING CONSTITUTION FOLKS!!

This illegal military raid was conducted on the false call made by a black woman in colorodo who FAKED the call!!!!

Sons of Liberty is NOT saying we support the beliefs of LDS Community!

We are saying this is a ILLEGAL OPERATION!

[BlackOps05]

Illegal... not really. Might prove to be unjust with way too much overkill but not illegal. They had a legal warrent, knew the compound had armed guards, and had reports of child abuse that needed to be investigated (Just because the source lied to them doesn't make it their fault).

The law says polygamy and sex with a minor IS illegal. That's fair Constitutional grounds for this operation. Whats fact and whats hysteria will come out with time.

[Tishm3]

Guess what. Everyhing here is perfectly legal in child abuse cases. Yes, CHILD ABUSE. It is automatic in Chid Abuse reports to investigate. These people are responsible for the safety of children. If didn't take them out. Would be whining about that. The Case Workers in case deserve alot of credit for the patience and work in this case. Would go alot quicker if the parents were'nt such liars. Oh! thats right they are all guilty of welfare fraud. A federal crime.

[christianroots]

The CPS that has tons of cases of child molesters in the CPS and THEY should be ashamed of them selfs. They broke up famaly's. The media is not telling the true story they are anti-Christs. They hate Christians. This group's hands might not be clean but what the CPS and the government has done is very wrong.

God is going to punish you CPS

Compound? It is funny how the media likes to call a church a COMPOUND.

[BlackOps05]

The people that live there call it a compound. The FLDS church has SEVERAL compounds in the Midwest.

[fearlessfasels]

add st, angelo to waco, ruby ridge, jfk in dallas, martin l. king jr., bobby kenedy, etc, etc... more lies for the sheeple!

[HURRICANECUB]

the ones defending them are pedophiles and sex offenders themselves post away

[cinloykko]

i hope that all these pedophiles and sex offenders get what they deserve (torture, torture, torture!) and that the children and even the enslaved mothers find the help they need. i'm not sure what the government should or would do with this horrifying case, but i know that anything is better than this ranch. however you look at it, its enslavement and its sexual and mental abuse rolled under a false religion.

[1776bricks]

@cinloykko I hope someday you can pull the wool off your eyes. I guess you said this 3 years ago, so maybe you've woken up. These people should be left alone. I wish these people would leave me alone.

[cinloykko]

@1776bricks no. i still have not changed my opinion. I concede that there MIGHT be some ADULT polygamist groups that are happy being the way they are, but for all/any members that were forced in and all the children and child-brides that want to get out but are too afraid... government interferences are the only help they might get - and awareness must be rised

[vlane3]

I think this Ranch is using religion as a cover-up for what they are doing. It's amazing that the young girl that made the call knew what was going on was wrong...considering the fact that she more than likely has been there all her life...

[blackturtleus]

I'm very uncomfortable with law enforcement removing so many children. This seems like something the Nazis would have done prior to World War II. Evidence suggests a few alleged abuses and yet massive action, out of proportion to the allegations, was taken. I hope some good lawyers come to the aid of this religious group and sue the heck out of the law enforcement and governmental officials responsible for this fiasco!

[faviolab]

You're as ignorant as the people you're defending. I hope you're not allowed to vote in our country.

[propagandabydeeds01]

stupid Texas Redneck should go back to what he does best

[BlackguyinUS]

Just imagine if these people were people of color. The building would of never got built. THe organization would have been labelled terrorist or anti-american.

This is just another example of the privledged being allowed to do whatever they want.

[timetofly5]

so what make you think that your children are safe?? if they can do this to these people they can do it to you and yours. it's like they did in Germany with the jews. they started picking out the least of us the one's that don't live the way the rest of us do so it is ok to take their kids with out any evidence. these people have the right to live what ever way the wish this America.where is the person that made the complaint they can't find her or anyone else yet to file one. where is the law

[Josephinega]

Sad how some use religion for their greed. I heard on the news that one area of the temple had a bed disgusting pigs!

[alllife]

disgusting!evil religion, where only sex,sex,sex non stop!+pedophiles old males...this religion at beginning made from satan and not from God

[jd426999]

The only offense I see so far is a distaste for our govt, and shunning"normal" society.They created their own little world.

The Muslims do that,the Amish do it, the Hasidic Jews do it,do we target them ?? WHY are these people considered GUILTY before THEY HAVE THEIR DAY IN COURT.Who is really brainwashed here ? these people or the general public,by the MEDIA.

This is about CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS.WAKE UP! or you and I willend up in CONCENTRATION camps,and I guarentee you those won't be as nice

[nosupecualponerme]

we dont know nothing,its hear saying goverment bull shit;all this showing its happy faces ,healthy kids a great farmin community a little citie better designed,than the bunch of little towns on this country/THINK PEOPLE HERE SOMETHING HAPPEN,BUT NOT AS EVEIL AS THEY SAID,the goverment butt in on this people lives like all ways do with u lives(do this,dont do this,wear this, pay this)so they cant present the girl that make the call,they have all of them, under the system now why she dont came out

[mitmean]

Where is hannity, Rush and the others outrage on this event?  Silent

[bsl103158]

i did hear a little about it on conservative radio- big trouble here is flds records are falsified to appear they are within state laws, cps was lied to so many times it wasn't possible to do this right. Right now these people say their kids know nothing of body parts, etc. that is prob. true. They make them that way until they are forced into child marriage at puberty, then taught to accept sex with often far older males as way to make it to heaven..abnormal births common, hidden,etc.

[arielavio]

The 16years old girl that made the call must be death by now...and he cops? they really dont know whats 's being going on there...sure!!! The tragedy is that maybe some of law inforcemen were polygamist too, so the do nothing.

[We4reLegion]

This story absolutely staggers me, apparently the horrors concealed by those walls have gone undetected for almost 70 years. The female residents have never been beyond the compound, and I'm disgusted by the way the men behaved.

This video interests me the most because it's not about the people but the structure itself, it gives us an insite into how the men got away with it for so long. 5 stars coming your way.

[HCelticPrincessness]

"Proud to live in if you don't mind that the very core of it is rotten to the foundation!"

[timetofly5]

you don't live there. what gives you the right to think you can tell others how to live. there have been no charges file no one has come forward to file a complaint. by law this raid was wrong no matter what you think the were doing in there next week I might think you are not leading the right kind of life and take you kids. without any law being broken. people like u will be next at some point. and then you will understand what is really happening here.. the gov is coming for the least of us.

[Shonem]

LOL

Kids were coming forward claiming they were sexually abused as young as 8 years old.

If you want to live in this country you live by it's rules, IE 18 years or older.

It's called rape num nuts.

[LizaKabashka]

There was a call from a teenaged girl saying she was raped and abused by her husband. Do some research and learn some grammar before you leave comments like this.

[bsl103158]

normally flds refuse to testify due to fear of retribution against family and being cast out. Oh yes, this cult is rife with abuse according to numerous ex-members.

they fear their leaders as gods.

[coverchenko]

it is all about control. the men in charge used brainwashing to control their victims and then physically force them to stay. they sexually abuse children and then are able to hide it because the idea of the compound is to cut it off from the outside so that the victims have no where to run.

[bsl103158]

i speak frequently with a few ex-fundamentalist people from these groups - they verify what Texas/cps surmised- that is, there's pretty horrendous stuff going on in the flds and related groups. the only way I can see why some in the general public are still defending these folks is that the general public has not done the research some have(i have spent maybe 3500 or more hours reading about flds,etc, and that is modest compared with the investigators and authors covering these things

[coverchenko]

yeah i agree. when people see things like this they automatically want to use it to try and attack the goverment without even looking at the other side of the story. if they even knew what it was like in there they would be singing a different tune. the same thing happened at Waco. they thought the ATF were a bunch of nazis that just wanted to kill civilians when in reality the branch dividians were the first to shoot and they knew they were shooting cops. thats what really pisses me off.

[bsl103158]

i continue to speak with women that were in this group years ago.this raid was definitely needed; most recent person i have been speaking with helped compile missing persons paperwork dealing with flds members whose deaths were suspicious or who have not been seen for a long time..she and colleagues were hoping Texas would organize some kind of search long before this took place,based on that missing persons list. There are layers of deceit with this group.

[TheJazzyMan1988]

You mean the women who had guns pointed in their face the first thing in the morning? Yeah if you really CARE about someone then you show that care by pointing a GUN in their face, how fucking thoughtful!

[jd426999]

Wow, some of you are ignorant as hell. So even if that were true, that the Branch Dabidians shot first, this justified INSERTING GAS with a tank, which contorted the childrens little bodies and then they were burned alive. I thought the Govt was there to RESCUE the "children" not torture them even more. Yegh, the Govt did a great job with that one. U know what pisses me off, Ignorant people like YOU who can justify the KILLING of chidren and even blame the REAL VICTIMS to boot.

wow.

[misteeq64]

Does that also includ the children in IRAK

[bsl103158]

you MUST understand that this groups is a very high-control group with extreme rules, and the people are terrified to testify- it can result in serious retribution for themselvees and relatives -- these polygamist groups are NOT what you'd want your own kids to deal with, trust me. read some of the books by ex-members

[yfzion]

That is so stupid. You read a few books so you're an expert! Sounds like you're brainwashed. I don't trust you. I am a member and I am definitely not terrified to testify.

[cuddle2007]

wow!! what is done in the dark shall be brought to lite.
