NeuroTypical Posted July 2, 2020 Report Share Posted July 2, 2020 (edited) (Not to be confused with the far more spiritually-minded thread Temples and Protection on the Gospel discussion forum...) My cool Uncle Randy tells me he's with a bunch of armed citizens, protecting the temple from protesters. Quote I'm in Provo. They had protests here two nights ago where the protesters shot a citizen, so 300 of us armed citizen showed up tonight along with about 300 police officers, because they're protesting again tonight and we're not going to let it happen again This reminds me of the Tongans who protected one of the California temples when the backlash from Prop 8 was at it's height. Heck, it reminds me of the "Whittling and whistling brigade" that formed in Nauvoo when folks were showing up threatening to kill Joseph Smith.

(Careful watching the video, has bad language, and, well, a protester shooting into an SUV trying to make it through a blockade of protesters. https://universe.byu.edu/2020/06/30/two-sides-collide-leading-to-march-down-university-ave/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carborendum Posted July 2, 2020 Report Share Posted July 2, 2020 Forgive me, NT. But I'm wondering what this has to do with "Preparedness." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeuroTypical Posted July 2, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2020 It seemed to fit best, in that this area has been home to umpteen discussions about how to prepare, and what to prepare for, and now, here is a big event that puts preparations into play.
