This guy walked into a one-room school building armed with two handguns and a shotgun. Facing pregnant women or women carrying infants. If the teacher would have had a gun and gone for it, it would have been futile and could have increased the death toll if the perp simply started firing at that point.

He picked a school in a community of non-violent pacifists.

He could be certain that nobody around was armed, had any martial arts expertise, had any military training, nor the mindset of dealing with sudden savage violence. He picked his target carefully, in that he wanted to be absolutely certain of no resistance.

Let the who do not believe that evil lurks in this world, look that the beast who perpetrated this deed.

For the most part, yes, but some Amish boys were recently convicted of repeatedly raping their younger sister for years. Shows you that evil exists everywhere. Sad.

Right, the one-room Amish schoolhouse was about the safest local target the milk truck driver could think of. He must have been a copy-cat killer with a desire to take young girls hostage for a while, but his time was cut short. The Amish are possibly the most vulnerable of American communities and may God damn anyone who singles them out to harm because of their Amish simplicity.
