This may be a stupid question, but I just posted this thread in Chat, "Tears For The Amish".

Is there any chance to stick it in the news/activism section just for a while?

I just want as many people as possible to see this beautiful and touching picture which was first placed in the Pittsburgh Tribune Review.

Thanks ............ Thom

[beyond the sea]

You're more than welcome. Isn't that picture touching?

[beyond the sea]

I thought the good Barbaro people would like to see this picture .............. ping.

Prayers for the Amish people.

[beaversmom]

Yes, very nice. Another sad day. It makes no sense. I won't say more--don't want to ruin the thread.

Prayer ping for the Amish.

Another sad day. It makes no sense. I won't say more--don't want to ruin the thread.

Of all the strange and sick things that happen in the world from day to day .......... this event is the most confounding, sadly disgusting, and irrational that I have ever seen.

It's just so awful.

The one in Bailey, CO left me equally perplexed. Why shoot the poor girl in the head? What was the point of taking someone out. I better stop. I'm going to ruin the thread.

[beyond the sea]

I better stop. I'm going to ruin the thread.

You won't ruin the thread.

One thing also to keep in mind in this terrible event is that there are still a number of these poor girls in the hospital who are said to be in "grave" condition.

I cannot believe a human being could do such a thing. I really cannot believe someone could do such a thing. It was rape of the entire Amish community and the killing of those innocent little girls.

Terribly devestating day for all those it affected. I know I was shocked and horrified with the news when it came across the radio as a news alert as I was not near a TV at the time the news broke.

The first thought in my mind was "who would do such a thing?" after thinking of all places an Amish one room schoolhouse.

[beaversmom]

Well I keep saying I'm going to ruin the thread for what I would like to say about what I would have liked done to these two animals. I thought the one in Bailey was pretty amazing because it's a small mountain town--probably no crime at all. But an Amish community? That's the last place on earth you would think this would happen. Has any more information come out about the animal that did this? Was he tied to that community in some way? I think I heard on the news that if the other girls make it, it will be a miracle. I don't even know how many in all have died and how many are in the hospital.

The last I heard was that he told his wife (in a suicide note) that he (32 years old) was "getting revenge" for something that happened to him 20 years ago when he was 12.

UNREAL!

Hard to comprehend, that's for sure. This is the kind of stuff you DON'T expect to happen in places like Amish Country.

[BigSkyFreeper]

That was mindboggling to me as well. An awful long time to hold a grudge, and take it out on those who otherwise didn't deserve it.

[beyond the sea]

This is more than disgusting.

I pray for those dear little girls left near death in a hospital.

[BigSkyFreeper]

I pray for the little girls and their families. Their otherwise peaceful, quiet community has been ripped to tatters and shreds over this dispicable act.
