Wow, amazing how well brainwashing works. 150 years after the fact and after the LDS Church itself admitted guilt you still have Morons blaming their murdered victims.

What's will they come up with next? The Francer/Baker people shot THEMSELVES?

Grab your magic underwear, the internet is killing your cult. Infection hates sunshine.

What is "fake" about the massacre???

@JediMormon Forget about proof, MORmON cultist, think about how irrational your religion is, or any religion for that matter. The thing that is most scary about your religion is that it occurred approximately 150 years ago.

Only in Mormonism does "Shed blood" and "Be exalted with the gods" go hand in hand. There are no gods. Much less any exaltation for blind murder. For gain or revenge or advantage

@rjs01007 ... "I believe" does not equate to "I know". John D Lee just thinks that was what happened. He never says "I know that...". You anti-Mormonism folks are grasping at straws. There is absolutely NO PROOF that Brigham Young ordered the killings. But, go right ahead and waste your time trying to. :oP The movie BOMBED horribly at the box office for a reason. It might have done better if the blame hadn't been falsely placed on BY instead of on the local members, where it belonged.

@PendletonWhiskey Actually, because of the internet, the gospel is spreading faster than ever. :o)

(continued) Hitler had anyone that was a Jew killed or imprisoned just for being a Jew. Missouri made it legal to kill anyone for being a Mormon. Those that supported that law were no better than the soldiers that were involved in World War II on Hitler's side.

MMM happened, what this movie shows didn't. This movie is completely inaccurate. Brigham Young sent word for the saints to not attack. The message didn't arrive until 2 days after the attack. This movie also ignores the reason. People that were killed in the massacre were involved in the murders and tortures in Missouri of those saints, women and children included. Missouri also made it legal to kill someone for being Mormon.

@tmesteem You are right. John D. Lee never SAID Brigham Young gave the order. He WROTE it. See page 225 of "The Life and Confessions of John D. Lee".

"I have always believed, since that day, that General George A. Smith was then visiting southern Utah to prepare the people for the work of exterminating Captain Fancher's train of emigrants, and I now believe that he was sent for that purpose by the direct command of Brigham Young."

[tmesteem]

The reasons for the massacre are complex, but center around a wartime hysteria that had built up in Utah with the announcement in July 1857 that a federal army was en route to Utah to put down an alleged Mormon rebellion. Rumors also circulated that members of the Fancher party had stolen from the Mormons, poisoned their reservoirs, and boasted of their role in the assassination of Joseph Smith.

@wannawatchu66 John D Lee NEVER said Brigham Young gave the orders for the massacre. Matter of fact the John D Lee maintained that LDS President Brigham Young had no knowledge of the event until after it happened.

@bobbyraejohnson Actually, there was no "most likely" about it. On his deathbed, John D. Lee confessed that he got direct orders from Brigham Young to carry out the massacre.
