What could posess a person to take their frustrations out on innocent kids? How many parents have harmed their own children to get back at a spouse.
I really think there are people who are born w/ no souls.

Actually the Amish moving en masse to a community ends up being a financial windfall for that community - they pay their taxes I have always understood the Amish pay little to no taxes. Everything in an Amish community is owned by the church. Least that's the way it around here.

I don't know why they feel their children don't need an education past the 8th grade? I can only speculate..From what I have heard, an Amish 8th Grade education is far superior to a high-school education elsewhere in this country.
The kids also learn to work hadrd at an early age. They are also given a chance to live a material, modern life for a few years - and then they choose whether to become full members of their order.
Are there problems with the Amish? Yes, they have a big problem with genetic diseases from inbreeding among local populations. But they also make far more money from an acre of farmland than farmers using modern methods, and the kids always seem happier than the local kids moping around subdivisions.

A little early for speculating on links to islamists, but I'm sure they're taking notes on all these incidents.

Wish the Fox News guy would quit repeatedly mispronouncing Lancaster.I know. They pronounce it Laaaaann-caster. Then again, the Brits laugh at us when we pronounce their "shires" or "hams."

Just heard on Fox that there is a shooter they are looking for near a school in Las Vegas. This a coincidence or are schools being targeted now?

I can not imagine anyone targeting the Amish. The Islamo-fascists would do so in a heart beat.

I would venture there are as many Penn Townships in Pennsylvania as there are counties.
This actually happened in Bart Township SE of Strasburg, PA.

I grew up in Ohio around a similar sect as the Amish -- the Dunkard Brethren. They had a horse and buggy church and a car church but one thing they had in common was the latest farm equipment. The horse and buggy church kids used to go on dates on the modern tractor into town. They always referred to themselves as the car church and horse and buggy church and I don't know the real name of either church to this day.
They dressed the same as the Amish so I don't know the difference except they were pacifist and wouldn't lift a firearm to protect their own but would go hunting.
