A leader of a religious cult that embraces anti-Muslim, anti-Semitic and homophobic teachings has been transferred from a New Mexico jail cell to a hospital after beginning a hunger strike, authorities confirm.

Deborah Green, the 70-year-old self-described “general” of the Aggressive Christianity Missions Training Corps, reportedly began her hunger strike about a week after her arrest during a raid on the group’s secluded paramilitary-style compound in Fence Lake, New Mexico.

State prosecutors filed a court motion to have Green moved to a hospital because she has not had food or water for at least three days, KRQE-TV in Albuquerque reported on Monday.

Green, who’s also known as Lila Green, was arrested on counts of child abuse, failure to report the birth of a child and child rape. Her son-in-law, Peter Green, 54, was arrest on 100 counts of child rape.

I know, I'm not supposed to think like that, but I grow tired of tolerating intolerance in our country.

actually people in the custody of the US government give up their right to choose when they die. Force feeding and IVs and other stuff are used on prisoners of all ethnic/relgious/national backgrounds even terrorists on hunger strikes.

because the slightest whisper will bring law enforcement down on them like a ton of boulders. These assholes undoubtedly thought their military veneer would fool the local sheriffs and the staties in this heavily military state.

Uh-uh.

Are tax-payers having to pay for her treatment? Hate should not be subsidized.
