Idiots
It is tough for me to contemplate that we actually have missionaries this stupid:

I can believe it. These guys just happened to get caught.
It was an extremely stupid thing to do (especially posting photos on the Internet), but it seems foolish to prosecute these guys for felonies. Does this parish not have any stupid teenage boys in its congregation?

Weren't there missionaries in Japan who did a similar thing with a statue of Budda? I seem to remeber something like this happening before. As I recall, the church was not allowed to teach in that particular city for quite some time.
Anyone remember this? Or is it an LDS urban myth. |

They should be punished the way that people are normally punished in that area for similar crimes. No more, no less.

Guess you weren't being sarcastic.
And people think I'm a mullah.

I am dead serious. They are young men, not teenagers and should be punished to the full extent of the law. It is time we stop coddling young men in the church both as parents and leaders.

Well, I take some solace from the fact that one of them apologized (although he lionized the church in his apology), and none of them wrote letters to the SLTribune.
