Even More Tolerance

Jazz and I spoke a little bit this afternoon (on our weekly show) about the Prop 8 fall out against the Mormon Church. What neither one of us knew was as we were speaking, the HazMat Unit of the Salt Lake City Police were just blocks away from where I sat at the scene of the latest attack on the Mormon Church.

The FBI was testing an envelope mailed to the Salt Lake City LDS temple Thursday to determine if the white powder it contained was dangerous.
At 4:05 p.m., a recorder's office employee working in the temple's annex opened a manila envelope that contained a smaller envelope with powder in it, said Salt Lake City Fire Department spokesman Scott Freitag.
"As soon as he saw it he put it down," Freitag said.
LDS security was summoned and put the envelopes and powder into a plastic bag. Security officers called 911 and the Salt Lake City Fire Department's Hazardous Material crew and FBI agents arrived.
The man who opened the envelope and two other employees were kept in the annex for more than an hour. Their clothes were washed on site. Only the man who opened the envelope got a small amount of powder on his hand, Freitag said. It was determined the employees were not injured and later went home.
HAZMAT crews used a bleach-like product to sanitize the annex just to be safe, Freitag said. The annex office is in a separate building near the temple. Temple Square was not evacuated while HAZMAT crews were there.
Two FBI agents left the temple grounds about 5 p.m. with a black plastic trash bag containing the envelopes and powder.


This has gone beyond protests and into the realm of terrorism. Is the GLBT community so devoid of solutions that the only thing that they can do in response to their electoral defeat is to threaten and attempt to intimidate?

So tell me....is this the way that ADULTS handle set backs or is this the way that spoiled CHILDREN handle set backs????? I mean really....

    Please - the GLBT community has done more, in their over-reaction to their electoral defeat, then anyone else could every do. Read the previous post.....

  • Are you kidding Mike? Not only are you blaming the victim, but you then call them Nazis.

    Nice.
