This article outlines the taking of what Mormons have given in the past.
But do not get me wrong. I feel for the youths attacked and decry the bullies who perpetrated the act but don't all of you Mormons trip over yourselves to lap this up and wave it like a flag of pride.
For context in this matter and the manner I approach it, lets look at this:
"The process of whittling out an officer was as follows: A great tall man by the name of Hosea Stout was the captain of the Whittling society, and he had about a dozen assistants. They all had great bowie knives and would get a long piece of pine board and get up close to the officer and pretend to be cutting the pine board, but would cut over it and cut near the officer. In the meantime, small boys would get tin pans, old bells and all sorts of things to make a noise with and surround the officer. No one would touch or say a word to him, but the noise drowned all that he would say".

Slavery may have ended in the 1860, but it was still 100 years until African Americans started getting equal rights although they are still discriminated against today too (yeah, it works the other way sometimes, but still).
That's General Leo. He could be my friend if he weren't my enemy. eritis sicut dii I support NCMO

The were just defending their land, families and way of life.
Just like the current FLDS feeling they are being persecuted.
Evil is in the eye of the receiver and good in the eye of the giver.
Which is why I go for the objective opinion. God! What do you think?
