Important Points

Antigen:
I think it's cash flow AND ideology w/ a solid base in local 'community standards'.

Here's my reasoning. Someone suggested awhile back that the only reason WWASP can skate after all the abuse complaints and investigations is because they're so politically connected. The implication was that the Suds are up a creek because they're not so well connected. Maybe that's so, maybe it isn't.

Personally, I don't have all that much faith in the local authorites to do the right thing here. Maybe I'm wrong. I hope I am. But it seems to me that if they're going to nail them for all the right reasons then they'd have to nail them for a good many things that WWASPS does all the time. (BTW, I can't remember, is Wardle still closely affiliated w/ WWASPS or not?)

Seems more likely to me that, if they spank the Suds for anything, it'll be for things that WWASPS claims makes them different. See what I mean?

Well, according to the Sudweeks "spokes people here" they say everybody from the Nephi Police down "just hates them"....so who knows, maybe there will be a case against them. I doubt if the Police or authorties have any personal feelings about these people one way or the other. They seem like the type of people that just say they are "persecuted" every time they get caught doing wrong.

:eek: just food for thought here. but in response to why the investigation is dragging on slowly. could be that nephi a town with previous polygamy history in the tom green case. this went on for some time in this small town where everybody knows everybody. maybe in order to get away with polygamy you need a small community where everyone is of the same fundamental belief system. if these speculations are true then the political powers might not be interested in having a trial that would certainly draw outside interests ie the media attention on their small town and the way of life they hide from others. not saying any of this is true just food for thought!

Could be, but Samanatha Hayes KSL (NBC) of Salt Lake City is doing a follow up story---so it will continue to get media attention.
