Is everyone aware that a 4th girl has died? That leaves 7 girls in the hospital, most in critical condition. (per FOX)
If you think about it, the Amish are America's "religious extremists". They are in stark contrast to the "submit or die" religious fanatics we are fighting. How many of us feel threatened by the Amish? They practice their religion freely and live the way they feel is right, within the law, and are upstanding citizens in the process. I'm proud of our Amish and have this strong urge to protect them and help them right now.
What happened to them today is so evil. It just cuts to the quick and makes me so very sad for them. May God hold them all close to his heart during this time... :-(
Yes, the latest information I saw came from FOX as well. I watched the very sad news that a fourth girl had died of her injuries. Prayers have definitely been sent upward for the other kids to hopefully pull through.

Very eloquently stated Miztiki, your post really hits to the heart of why this incident is so horrific.
I feel the same way.
I had been reading up on the Amish lately, and was planning to drive up to Lancaster County for a visit. Now is clearly not the time, though.
