Tell me then, what do you think of Jim Jones? Charles Manson? How about that San Diego cult that thought they were going to join up with a UFO tagging behind haley-bopp? Are these people protected in your little world by religious freedom? Are we free to brainwash people into commiting suicide or murder? This is justified under the Constitution? What if I took away the name David Khoresh and played a guessing game with you.
Identify the fruitcake:
This young man believed himself to be Jesus Christ, come again to prepare the world for the coming of the Kingdom of God, and to that end started a following of men and women and their families to be his priesthood. These faithful people, many man and wife, were forced to cut off all contact with their families and friends. Men were no longer allowed to sleep with their wives, only Jesus was allowed to sleep with them. Jesus preached "the end is near! Satan is loose and after us, we must prepare!" and thus invested in an arsenal that would make the NRA blush. The stated purpose of this arsenal was to battle the forces of Satan about to be unleashed upon them, and they must be prepared for "The Last Battle." Can you guess this man's name?
Tell me, is it just "religious" people that are exempt from investigation or are hate groups like the KKK and White Nation also allowed to preach violence without worrying authorities? Are the Black Panthers covered, or was their promise of racial armed violence innocent Free Speach? The Supreme Court would disagree with you, as Im sure you will answer in the affirmative. But maybe not, after all, it was the ATF that shot first. Why didnt they simply come out of their compound if they were innocent? Hire a lawyer? Didnt think of that did they? Maybe because they *planned* to have an armed confrontation and *planned* to die? They were just locked up under seige I suppose. What about the masked man that ran out of the house dumping stuff out of the bowl? A reference to Revelations may be in order, the 7 signs and 7 trumps? |
