Thank God for Labrador. They hate him. Because he’s real. Like 45 they’ll do anything to stop him.
Good luck with that Simpson.
It does appear that our attorney generals office could be actually functioning again.
This type of child abuse must end. we will be proposing a bill to ensure ending this BS in Idaho during the upcoming 2024 legislative session to allow Capital Punishment for any person/s that are guilty of Sexual Trafficing of children.
At present the Federal Law only carries 11 years in prison. this is not enough for abusers. they should perminantly be removed from our society. Let us recover morality in our state even if the other states fail morality as we knew it previously within the U.S.
OFF WITH THEIR HEADS!!!!!! Thank God for RL!
I hope she’s not guilty of doing what she’s accused of. Even if she has done horrific things I pray that the LORD would regenerate her, that she would repent and trust in Jesus Christ.
Having said that, she still would have to face the consequences.
This is always good news to learn of our LE institutions locating and prosecuting these horrible crimes. But many of us KNOW that major sized human trafficking rings exist and operate in Idaho, and that they need to be investigated and EXPOSED and prosecuted. The Laura Silsby case was a major failure of Idaho law enforcement and needs to be revisited!
