Bountiful polygamous leaders charged
 
Charges have been laid against two men who lead a religious sect in the southeastern B.C. town of Bountiful. Winston Blackmore and James Oler are both charged with practising polygamy. Attorney General Wally Oppal says Blackmore is accused of committing polygamy with 20 women while Oler is accused of commiting the crime with two women.
Members of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints practice multiple marriage in Bountiful, the southeastern B.C. community with a population of around 1,000. The sect in Bountiful is a breakaway offshoot of the Mormon church, which renounced polygamy more than a century ago.

Last June, Oppal appointed a special prosecutor to look into allegations of criminal abuse at Bountiful, despite two earlier legal opinions that said it would be difficult to proceed with criminal charges for polygamy itself. Blackmore, who is the sect leader, openly admits to having numerous wives and dozens of children but has said the community abhors sexual abuse of children.

I laugh from a very healthy place in my heart, when i see white people back in the colonial days.

Those people know nothing about nothing. They were interviewed, and all they could say with a stupid ass expression on their face is "WE WANT OUR KIDS"

HAHAHAHA

I don't get why it's legal to cheat on your wife left, right and centre, but not OK to be a polygamist.

I mean, for someone as charming, intelligent and good-looking as me, it's torture being forced to be monogamous.

Actually you make a good point.

What IS the difference?

Hondaracer 01-07-2009 03:41 PM

^ the difference, which is why he is being prosecuted is because he's marying out 14 year olds etc.

if everyone on the farm was legal age I doubt it would be as much as a issue

ZXINSANE 01-07-2009 03:47 PM

With any luck, that kinda polygamy is going to make them so retarded they won't be able to defend themselves

There is no way anyone here will convince me that the second and third chicks in that photo (from left to right) aren't daughter and mother.

Polygamy would probably be legal if it wasn't for the fact that pretty much every group of polygamists almost always includes marrying 14 year olds, mental and physical abuse, confinement, inbreeding, abandonment of male children, etc, etc.

It's almost like practicing something that requires 5-10 times more women then men has some inherent down side :haha:

It's about time something was done! I wonder why they didn't charge them for sexual abuse of minors? Their situation is no different than the teacher in the hot teacher thread.
