I've been up to Lancaster a couple of times and met some of the Amish. They certainly have a lifestyle that most of us would dismiss as too simplistic, but they are generally happier than a lot of us are. I fail to see how anyone would consider them to be creeps.
One of the horrors of all this is that this is the last place many of us would have ever thought a tragedy like this would happen.
You are so right about this.
The fact that they were innocent children is hard enough to bear, but that they were part of a community that attempts to live life in simplicity and avoidance of worldly influence makes it even more shocking, IMO.
God be with them. This is just horrible.....
