• The FBI and state officials are offering a $60,000 bounty on Jeffs.
Thats a nice little chunk of tuition right there, maybe there is a better way I could spend my summer.

But seriously though these idiots have been weirding me out for years I'd be glad to see them finally taken down.

You and me both... If my lab job falls through, I would not be at all opposed to teaming up with you to hunt the fucker down

If we can get magi in on this we got some professionalism added to it.

Hhm... Between the 3 of us that would be 20,000 dollars each...

Do they want him alive?

My worry is that the women and children will be used as hostages and will be set up to get killed. It's not like the men care; a lot of their wives are their nieces and granddaughters and Jeffs has so many that he probably doesn't even remember all their names.

But yeah, I hope they get taken down and soon.


"Not provide romantic distractions." What a crock. More like, "they were removed to not be competition" like in the article I posted about the danger of polygamy.

EDIT The FBI's bounty says that they want to arrest him, so he would probably have to be taken alive.

Technically you only need two arms and an ear to arrest someone... two arms to put the handcuffs on and a ear to read the miranda rights to.

Supposedly the guy always has bodyguards around him, and they're all probably heavily armed. They were fantastically rich before, and they probably stocked up.

So you'll need some help, and as I've been used as bait before, can I come along?

Joking aside, this guy is either going to be an utter pain in the ass to run down, or else he's going to get caught in some tragic-comic goof where he accidentally locks himself into a bathroom.

I'm just waiting with no happy anticipation for this little El Dorado time bomb to blow up.
