...Amish terrorists are on the loose!!
But it would seem that secular society is rubbing off on these people and not in a good way.
So, lock your doors, boys and girls. They may set their sights on you next!
Five Amish men in Ohio were arrested this week for allegedly breaking into the homes of other Amish men and cutting off their hair and beards.I always thought that the Amish were a peaceable people. They refuse to serve in the armed forces and crime within Amish communities is very low.
The men were charged with aggravated burglary and kidnapping, according to WKYC, related to allegations that they were responsible for a series of six break-in-and-hair-cutting incidents.

Apart from that this apparently has been some sort of inter-Amish event, the Amish have long had a practice of allowing their young men to "go out into the world" for a time in their adolescence before returning to their home communities, a little like Mormon missionaries without the proselytizing, so they can experience the world. A some point some years ago, maybe 15 or more, there was a serious problem with cocaine abuse among these young men in some communities in Central Pennsylvania.
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me of the scene in Witness where Alexander Gudonov's character apologizes when Harrison Ford punches out an annoying punk. "Oh, he's from Ohio, my cousin."
Good point!
