| Polygamists of Colorado City
I was watching Prime Time last night and the show was about the city and how everyone there is married to everyone else. It also focused on a woman who was also sexually abused by her father and she faced him to confront him about what he did. Wow, words can't even describe how he acted. He started off by saying how beautiful she looked. It goes on from there with her telling him the stuff he did and he said he was sorry and just didn't know it was wrong.
There was a lot of interviews with her confronting others in the town who didn't help her. She was in a Polygamist marriage herself and was even put into a mental hospital because her husband said she was crazy when she wanted out of the lifestyle. A police man even showed up when she was going around the town and he was one of the officers who took her away. He played dumb ( although at this point I think it is pretty clear everyone in the town is fucking stupid as hell) and she asked him questions and he seemed to have forgotten the whole thing.
The state even brought in an appointed law man to clean up the place. At one point the Sheriff was asked if he had more than one wife and all he said was "no comment" wtf? lol anyway, during the interview the reporter was driving with the law man and some people from the town were following them around. You could see vans and cars starting to line up driving behind his car. There was about 7 in total. So far he has made 8 arrests with men who married underage girls and are currently looking for the leader who is known to have armed bodyguards.
How fucked up is this story? I couldn't believe what I was seeing. When they were doing other interviews with people in the town, it was like they were all freakin inbreds or something. What was even more shocking was the ones who seemed to have a head on their shoulders and got all defensive and acted like they were doing nothing wrong and had no problem with being made to look like the shame of America.
I suggest you look for the Episode online if you haven't seen it. It is pretty amazing to watch. |
