Mormon leaders, military veterans and elected officials reacted with anger to a new Department of Defense policy that does not consider The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to be a Christian religion as part of a wider effort to cut down the U.S. military’s list of recognized faiths.

      This is what the Mormons are now known for, and forever shall be. Owning the police terrorists who are the private army of the Mormon Bricks & Minifigs thieves who scammed a dying man out of his LEGOs.

      “Mormon business owners would rather weaponize the police than return stolen goods.” Great job Utah Police for protecting criminals.
