In her latter years, I took care of Juanita Brooks who wrote Mountain Meadow Massacre. A fasinating book written by the devout Mormon herself. Jaunita took a lot of shit for writing the book. If you get a chance to read her book, I certainly recommend it.

Government sanctioned rape and murder of Mormons and eventually a few got fed up and started attacking others but now the media, government, and historians fall over each other amid slobbery indignation over actions of a few.
Sounds famaliar?

When a new religious cult springs up (or an old alien religion moves in) and declares its God-given right to violate existing laws (like polygamy or usery), the government and its people will seek to enforce those violated civil laws. And when that cult offers organized resistance, it becomes a bloody insurrection. When the cult is not eradicated, its descendants will fabricate historical revisions to make them appear innocent victims of irrational bigotry. Glenn Beck with his noxious Mormons, Elie Wiesenthal with his parasitic Juden.
Tldr: the Mormons started it.

Do you lie knowingly or ignorantly?
Missouri Executive Order 44
Haun's_Mill_massacre
Even if you sau those were slaughters of women and children but were justified for reasons.
How do you explain persecution e.g. rapes, murders, tar and feathering in kirtland and new York before that?

I'm no more a historian then you are, ime experience these thibgs can go on endlessly and pointlessly.
By their fruits ye shall know them. If mormons were the monsters you claim why is that not the experience of their history? Shouldnt utah have always looked like Detroit or 18th century new York slums?

Oh those wacky Latter Day Saints. Also, whether he was involved in this or not Brigham Young was a low down dirty SOB, too.

Sounds like somebody still believes fake news from the 1800s.

Brigham Young was a murderer plain and simple. The fact he did it on behalf of Mormonism doesn't change that.
