This POS monster wanted to kill little Amish girls, I don't think them being at home would have stopped him.

Yep. One thing that we know is that you can't pass a law to prevent bad things from happening.

I wonder if the gunman had any problems with family court, child support ???
The reason I ask is , because he allowed the boys to leave.
I just got a feeling that there might(MIGHT?) be a connection with numberous past events

....And he will undoubtedly be referred to as a "gentleman" by either some reporter or some stupid bystander.

Just listening to his description, I need a breather. Prayers for the LEOs as well! Placemark.

We're not allowed to lock up the homicidal mentally ill for being that crazy anymore. We have to wait until they kill people.

Really ? This wasn't your post ?

The insular nature of the Amish community lends itself to such irrational, collectivized hatred, much like the hatred directed against the Jews.

You might want to reread your own post.

You are right I was typing to fast and the plumber is here chatting. Amish do NOT typically have phones, the Memonites do - sometimes. That's what I meant to say. Thanks! : )

Not really. Go pollute some other thread.

A 32-year-old truck driver...


It doesn't sound like he was Amish--or at least not a good one.

He had 45 minutes inside before help came, barricading doors, knocking over desks... Good God.

I doubt the Amish would arm their teachers. They are generally against having firearms.

And even though I'm pro-2nd-A, I doubt it would have made a difference if the teacher had a firearm - if the guy busted in with a shotgun, she never would have had a chance to go for it.

Unless you've been to Bart Township, you cannot imagine just how absolutely alien this would be to the people there. Even though Philly is just over an hour's drive away, it might as well be on another continent. Bart Township is about as idyllic as it gets.
