#1 I wonder if Netflix is going to make him out to be some sort of Hero or 'Misunderstood' or something?

#2 Isn't this a familiar theme on a rather old LDS topic ?

Are we to assume an LDS kiddie scandal is not a mirror image of millstone hanging around the neck of the Catholic church as well ?

What are we talking about here, Red Delicious or Granny Smith ?

...We're watching this - Jeffs is shown as the monster he is, no two ways about that.

Someone needs to ask him his secret to handling not 1, but 78 wives at the same time.

I am sure it would be a Best Seller.

#7 Who did he think he was, Moohamhead?

Fire the Hildale, Utah, and Colorado City, Arizona police chiefs and district attorney. Better yet throw them in the same prison. Have the wear shirts that read, "we let a child rapist rape those kids.

Let the inmates loose on these criminal acompencing bastards.

The Popes would be next?

#9 Someone needs to ask him his secret to handling not 1, but 78 wives at the same time.

Yeah, not to mention all the children. I'm thinking some form of public assistance just to keep them fed, clothed and housed. But then he has to figure out kitchen duties, shopping, bathroom schedules, who gets to drive the car(s), etc., etc., etc.
