Spare me.... The other 9/11 was Japan Attacking Pearl Harbor.

MMM was a wagon train full of anti-mormon religious bigots, who mocked the Saints, said they were involved in the various attrocity's done to the saints state to state, and so the Mormons and some Indians, and dressing as Indians decided to take "revenge".

It was wrong, a tragedy.... But, I don't see you crying about all the atrocity's committed against the Saints up till that time.
Even good people can do wrong if enough wrong occurs to them.

1. The Church was under threat of government military attack. For all they knew the Men, Women and Children of the wagon train company represented troopers.

2. The massacre was planned and perpetrated by local Church leaders. Stake president Isaac Haight was unwilling to let the “offenders” live in peace.

3. Brigham Young sent orders to let the emigrants pass in peace. Brigham Young is blameless, honest falsely accused Paiutes!

4. Church members involved in the massacre faced discipline and trial. After the massacre, John D. Lee remained an active leader in Mormon affairs in southern Utah. That is until the Federal Government insisted upon a trial and Brigham Young put forth sacrificial goat and murderer, John D. Lee. Apr 20, 1961 - First Presidency and Twelve approve rebaptism and full reinstatement of priesthood blessings for John D. Lee, only executed participant in Mountain Meadows Massacre. Ordinances occur on May 8-9, 1961. There was a statue erected to the memory of John D. Lee in the town of Washington, Utah. The statue was taken down after the gentiles said it was in poor taste. The other 119 Mormon Elders got away with murder.

5. Some Church members today are descendants of the massacre’s survivors. During the massacre, 17 children were spared, considered “too young to tell tales.”

You tell a lot of lies. This is the worst.


May God have mercy on your soul.

Pinochet ruled with an iron hand and loaded weapons from 1973-1990. Tens of thousands of Chilean people lost their lives to this military dictatorship and hundreds of thousands of Chileans fled the country.
