100,000 Converge on a US city... No Arrests, No Violence....

Tweet

For the 180th time in history, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints holds our Semi-Annual General Conference. An estimated 100,000 church members traveled from neighboring cities and across the globe to attend the event. Republicans, Democrats, Libertarians, Apolitical, and everything in between came together with no arrests or violence. All that happened is the Prophet, Apostles and other leaders of the LDS church gave talks, Returned Missionaries enjoyed "Mission Reunions" and members from other areas got to enjoy seeing the LDS church buildings, historic sites, and local Salt Lake fare. The most controversial thing that happened was some Anti Mormon people exercised their first amendment rights around Temple Square, to voice their opposition to some of the LDS church's positions and doctrines. In other words, this weekend proves that there can be a huge event in the US where violence isn't the order of the day! http://www.deseretnews.com/article/700069901/Thousands-to-converge-on-Salt-Lake-City-for-Mormon-conference.html
