Elizabeth Smart testimony today

I actually think the worst thing he could endure is isolation. I have heard it said that is the very worst kind of psychological torture.

Really? You might reconsider that when 4 inmates are throwing you a blanket party at 3AM.

If that happens I'd give him a year to live. But according to my former federal prosecutor partners, the federal prisons do a better job of protecting prisoners like him. He'll definitely be segregated from the general prison population. Still, they think he'll be at risk and will be looking over his shoulder for the rest of his life. Such a pity.

One year to live? That would save tax payers quite a bit of money.

I hear what you are saying, but a quick brutal death seems to good to me for this guy. The slow loss of his mind over what will seem to him like an eternity as he wishes he had something in his cell he could kill himself with seems more fitting.

best of both worlds: he gets brutally raped every night for the rest of his life.

Excellent. The last page of this thread is definitely Mormonism's fault. Good job, woot.

Ah, and here is Woot to defend the convicted kidnapping rapist pedophile. Aren't you going to tell us how this relates to African fossils or some shit?

What makes you think he's defending BDM? I think he is commenting on the irony of Christian values and bloodlust among those embracing Christianity. Isn't Christ the one that coined the phrase "Forgive them Father for they know not what they do"?

Where do we stop? Should BDM be publicly flogged? What about flayed? Drawn and Quartered? We could drag his corpse down South Temple and then put his head on a spike and display it at the gates of Temple Square.

Nobody condones what BDM did, and nobody thinks he shouldn't be punished, and nobody thinks people shouldn't be outraged. It's just kind of disturbing to hear the depths to which some people sink as they communicate that outrage.

Somebody's feeling especially guilty...

But how is their communication of outrage the fault of Christianity, and more specifically Mormonism? Those who spoke up didn't exactly comprise a who's who of orthodox CUFers.

This post is pretty demonstrative too. Good job Woot!

I could be wrong, but I don't think Woot was taking a swipe at the Mormon Church as much as he was Mormons in general. Personally, until I hear Church leaders call for the rape and murder of BDM, I will give the Mormon Church the benefit of the doubt and conclude that the attitudes reflected in this thread are not a product of Mormonism but of simple human outrage.

Yes! Mormons are people too, after all.
