Nothing in the story backs up the headline that they were Mormon. The only thing I can take from this thread is that you have some issue with Mormons and are willing to play loose with facts to knock them. But God knows the threat that they pose relative to all the other evil afoot today so you just keep it up tiger.

Of course. The newspaper reporting that they were mormon did so as part of a global anti-mormon conspiracy. /s

Accusation without specificity or substantiation, i. e., poop throwing. Much easier to call someone a liar from a thousand miles away, saves all that money on dental bills.

Nothing?

Anyone can do a search and find your statement is incorrect.

Upon further review... you are correct. The only thing the article asserts is that they had "Mormon friends" who pleaded with them to turn themselves in.

The press reports things a certain way, so people get a certain impression. So in the first paragraph they report the assault, and in the second they report the Mormon conference. Pretty tricky.

(The “Mormon” portion of the headline + article was written by the Australian newspaper)
