Captured polygamous sect leader due to face charges in Utah

1. These people, and the horrendous "Handmaid's Tale" culture they presided over for decades

under the noses of American law enforcement, have always fascinated me. I have been following them closely since Krakauer came out with his book, "Under the Banner of Heaven." I read everything I can about them in a just-this-side-of-obsessive manner.

They are the epitome of evil. It is so satisfying to see them all getting arrested, and to hear about the end of their stranglehold on the lives of thousands of people.

Hopefully with some more freedom the people in Short Creek and other polygamous communities will be able to escape from their grinding ignorance.

There is still the Kingston family, though. They are harder for authorities to catch. They intermarry (like fathers to daughters intermarrying where FLDS was mostly uncles to nieces) and are smaller and even less attached to the real world.
