Grits for Breakfast has been very focused on this particular misadventure. See more here.
So here’s where we stand. The laws the sect are accused of violating were expressly created to target their religious practices. The raid was based on a phone call that may turn out to be bogus. No victim has been identified, and the man alleged to have abused her we know for a fact could not have done the deed. Finally, at this point it’s the state, not men from the sect, who are isolating these women and children.
Stay tuned … this thing is a long way from over.

The authorities will storm in to arrest FLDS men on charges based on information they’ve wrung out of the women and children; the men will barricade themselves inside with guns; the authorities will kill them all. (They’ve saved themselves the bad PR of a second Waco by making sure all the children were removed first.)
