Raid on “compound” triggered by lying phone caller
Turns out the raid on the FLDS compound in Texas was based on a caller who made up false abuse claims:
Officials say the Texas Rangers are pursuing Rozita Swinton of Colorado as a “person of interest” regarding telephone calls related to the polygamist compound in Eldorado, Texas.
Colorado Springs police confirmed that on Wednesday they arrested Swinton, 33, at her home.
“This arrest stemmed from an incident that occurred in Colorado Springs in February of this year,” according to a news release from the Colorado Springs Police Department.
During this interesting series of events, we have been eerily reminded of other attempts at government-gone-wild such as “Waco.” See, the government is using the “Tobacco” approach on restricting human rights to begin attacking religious rights as well. Just as the tobacco industry (and smokers too) generate very little sympathy among the citizens, whacked out and bizarre religious cults are not favored amongst the American public.
I say this to remind you: First it’s your seat belt, then it’s your cigarettes, and before you know it the government will take your house and other property and eliminate your privacy. Just the same with religious rights: First Waco (who cares about those freaks anyway? RIGHT?), next the FLDS, then - before you know it - the “law” is moving in on your church.
That’s right. The government has no business disrupting hundreds of lives because of one phone caller who may or may not be telling the truth. Sure, the FLDS doesn’t really represent anything I approve of, but if we don’t stand up for them, they will be raiding your religious group next.
