Jeff's is captured

For those of you tallying the score:
Polygamist leader Warren Jeffs was captured via a routine traffic stop.
John Mark Karr's DNA test + circumstantial evidence from his family proves he didn't kill JonBenet.
Pluto is not a planet.
It's raining in Florida.

Now can we get back to some real news?

Wow, after all that talk of Jeffs' body guards and his human shields, that was kind of... anit-climactic.

Well, it's best that he's taken in without any bloodshed, just... surprising.

Suddenly this thread should be merged with the "where did the huge influx of retards come from?" thread.

This is what slays me. According to Utah Law 18 years old is the legal age.
16-17 year olds may marry with parental consent
15 year olds may marry with parental consent, Juvenile Court approval and counseling.

However, there are actual laws in Utah and Arizona (called the Child Bigamy Law) that prohibit a married adult from taking a second spouse who is under the age of 18.

Now, with these plural marriages, they aren't actual legal entities. i.e. The second and beyond wives are NOT entering into a legal marriage, but a spiritual one. To top that off, the parents ARE giving their consent to these underage marriages.

I expect this one to go to the Supreme Court. There are some serious First Amendment and Ambiguous State Statute issues at stake.

Warren Jeffs may be a sick puppy, and I seriously doubt God really did tell him that the only way to heaven is through having lots and lots of wives and babies. BUT, the teaching is grounded in scripture and religion, and the parties are willing participants, so this is going to get very interesting. I'm popping corn and sitting down to watch the fight.

If by "grounded in scripture" you are referring to the bible, good luck finding such teachings, they aren't there.

^ Er, yeah, what he said. ^

Maybe there is stuff about the benefits of polygamy in Mormon scripture, but the Bible as far as I know never expressly condemns or promotes it. Solomon did it and it tore him seven (hundred) ways from Sunday, and in Romans (I think, but don't quote me on that), Paul says that pastors should be 'husbands of one wife'... implying that polygamy is an inconvenience at best.
