Well, Ted Bundy was a Mormon. The guy that shot up (& killed some people) @ that Colorado Springs church some years back was also a Mormon convert.
So, if being Mormon drastically reduces the odds that someone will be a mass-murderer, Mormonism may be a good thing, right? [Loud Mime]
Article excerpts:
* A Mormon teenager will stand trial for allegedly helping her lover to kill his 16-year-old ex-girlfriend, a judge has ruled. Toni Fratto, 19, and Kody Patten, 18, are accused of hitting Micaela Costanzo over the head with a shovel, cutting her throat and then burying her body in a shallow grave just outside West Wendover, Nevada.

* ...admitted killer Christopher A. Gribble begins Monday with the selection of jurors who will decide whether Gribble was legally insane when he and Steven Spader slaughtered a Mont Vernon mother and maimed her daughter during a random 2009 home invasion...His trial in Hillsborough County Superior Court likely will differ from that of his machete-wielding accomplice Spader, found guilty by a jury Nov. 9 of all six counts of first-degree murder, attempted murder and related charges. Gribble, a Brookline Eagle Scout, admitted he stabbed and slashed local nurse Kimberly L. Cates, 42, to death with a knife and nearly killed her daughter, Jaimie, then 11, in the pre-dawn attack, but claimed he was insane at the time and not criminally responsible...Gribble is a high school graduate who grew up a devout Mormon and attended Sunday school at Spader's next-door neighbor's house.

And then, how does that ongoing "roster" of other Mormon killers impact your assumptions?
Mormon murderers like...
...Gary Gilmore & Ronnie Lee Gardner...
...or ex-Lds missionary-to-Philippines Arthur Gary Bishop...
...or 5-time Mormon killer Glenn Taylor Helzer...
...Or ex-Lds missionary murderer to Winnipeg Mark Hacking...
...Or bomber-murderer-scammer Mark Hofmann...
...or ex-Lds missionary-to-France fugitive murderer Jason Brown...
...or 19th century murderer Porter Rockwell, one of Brigham Young's and Joseph's Smith's body guards...
...or Wild Bill Hickman, another of Young's body guards, who wrote a "tell-all" book about it...
....or the dozens to hundreds of Mormon child mass murderers/mommy&daddy mass murderers never even brought to trial for the execution-style Mountain Meadows Massacre...
I mean, Arthur Gary Bishop, Mark Hacking, and Jason Brown were all former Lds missionaries. I mean what? Do we find all kinds of murderers in the former CHRISTIAN missionary population?
Yes? Where?
Would that be Porter Rockwell of:
LDS Instructional Manual
Chapter Twenty-One
Growing Conflict in Illinois
Subheading: Renewed Threat in Missouri
"Unfortunately, Porter Rockwell was arrested"
Fame?
I'm a gentile and I'm not supposed to be reading that. That instruction manual of LDS history is for teaching LDS youth and I back-doored it. You need an official LDS password to view American history and LDS history as it's being taught in seminary (14-18 years old) and institutes (college age).
