I’m not LDS, I’ve got no stake in Idaho, hell I’m not even American, and this case bugs me. It’s near all over me all the time and I can’t seem to chase it out, always trying to work over the details et cetera, et cetera, dot dot dot. Last time I dropped a few posts, they kind of purged the details for a time, so, all apologies in advance for the following wall-of-text.
In fact, in my post-writing, pre-posting look-see, I’ll make it a two parter. Sorry if an effort-post of this length is outside the norm. MOO and all that - probably going to need a Graphic Content warning as well.
First, I’m worried about murder charges. Hear me out: With Alex gone, he’s become Cline-level Patsy. If they can’t find proof on LV or CD being the actual trigger-puller – metaphorically speaking – there's no way we’re gonna see Murder in the First here. It might top out at Conspiracy to Commit Murder. I hope those dummies left enough electronic evidence for LEA to really lay it thick, but I dunno... (Really, they kept that many phones? KEPT them? What, they couldn’t watch 2 consecutive episodes of Breaking Bad once in their lives?)
I think Vallow has a disorder (or a few) or pathologies or whatever term, and I think she believes it all. End times, zombies, 144K, all of it. There’s too much build up to it. She was into it before she met CD and she’s still in up to her eyebrows. Today. Right now. Think of all the reinforcement she’s seen in the past few months. The earthquakes and plague, the coast to coast protests and violence. This is by no means an excuse or some attempt to wring a bit of sympathy for her; they’ve all shown enough that they can situate right over wrong. She’s just going through the legal motions right now waiting for the Big Reveal, while pouring over her bibles and LDS manuals. CD is doing same - when he’s not thinking of LV and pressing himself into his prison mattress, that is. He’s hoping for capital M Miracle and when that and Jesus don’t manifest, I think he’ll be the first to sour. Like a lot of others, I’m curious as to how long ‘Lionel Hutz’ is going to last as LV’s law talkin guy.
I think when CD met LV, he inserted her into his cosmology in order to insert himself into, well, her. I don’t think he’s this great master manipulator/planner either but that's probably what he’s going to be built up to be. I don't think we can stand a mere dummy getting away with this sort of stuff, therefore he's got to be some kind of silver-tongued savant or somehting. He’s a good listener at best, and what he used on Lori is Daybellian common sense combined with her already being wide open to his BS charms. Pull the murders from this equation and he’s a third-rate, self-diagnosed end-times prophet slash wanna-be adulterer. He’s the accidental leader of splinter group from a splinter group and had the Big Day came and gone without dead children, I think his little cadre would’ve turned bored and trickled off back to PaP or AVOW or the underside of some other rock. Look at his track record. Supposedly he tried to seduce this woman in AZ but he couldn’t hustle his way past her husband? Sorry Chaddo, a mere husband shouldn’t have a chance. You’re gonna lead 144K campers and you can’t swing past one husband? Not prophet material, back with the dirty masses, you. He couldn’t quite pin JuR to his group, either and though he and LV had MG hook and line, they couldn’t quite sink her. As for MBP, that’s all on LV. I think CD may have started this truck, but at some point Lori took firm grasp of the wheel and she’s become the pair’s de facto baller.
MOO
