[Mr. Mulliner]

Those wild and crazy Amish pranksters.

[shadowman99]

Amish paintball guns?

I guess they fire plain and simple colored paints.

[OpusatFR]

The Mennonite branch around here bash mailboxes.

That's what happens when you can't kick back with a beer and a cigarette..

[mdittmar]

Although Keim was raised Amish, the self-employed roofing contractor had a driver's license and had left the Amish church, Fritz said.

Amish teen gone bad,won't have the guts to do that again.

Time for the Bradyish Bill...registration of all tomatoes, confiscation of all semiautomatic tomatoes, and a waiting period with background check before one can own a tomato. Of course, we need to close the tomato show loophole.

[headsonpikes]

It's hard to imagine a man so vindictive as to fire a shotgun at folks just funning around.

There couldn't be more than a few possible suspects locally, one would think.

[The_Media_never_lie]

Tomatoes and paintballs are no excuse for the man getting medieval on their hiney.

[Mulder]

I guess the hoodlums won't try that again anytime soon.

Tossing projecticles at moving vehicles creates hazards which can result in the serious injury or death of motorists.

I don't condone the behavior of the driver (he should have called the police first), but I really don't condemn it either.

[RightWhale]

Many Amish teenagers, like the group in the cornfield, experiment with popular culture then later return to the Amish lifestyle

Right. Tossing vegetables at cars is an integral part of popular culture.

As I walk through the valley where I harvest my grain
I take a look at my wife and realize she's very plain
But that's just perfect for an Amish like me
You know, I shun fancy things like electricity
At 4:30 in the morning I'm milkin' cows
Jebediah feeds the chickens and Jacob plows... fool
And I've been milkin' and plowin' so long that
Even Ezekiel thinks that my mind is gone
I'm a man of the land, I'm into discipline
Got a Bible in my hand and a beard on my chin
But if I finish all of my chores and you finish thine
Then tonight we're gonna party like it's 1699

We been spending most our lives
Living in an Amish paradise
I've churned butter once or twice
Living in an Amish paradise
It's hard work and sacrifice
Living in an Amish paradise
We sell quilts at discount price
Living in an Amish paradise

A local boy kicked me in the butt last week
I just smiled at him and turned the other cheek
I really don't care, in fact I wish him well
'Cause I'll be laughing my head off when he's burning in hell
But I ain't never punched a tourist even if he deserved
An Amish with a 'tude? You know that's unheard of
I never wear buttons but I got a cool hat
And my homies all I agree I look good in black... fool
If you come to visit, you'll be bored to tears
We haven't even paid the phone bill in 300 years
But we ain't really quaint, so please don't point and stare
We're just technologically impaired

There's no phone, no lights, no motorcar
Not a single luxury
Like Robinson Caruso
It's as primitave as can be

We been spending most our lives
Living in an Amish paradise
We're just plain and simple guys
Living in an Amish paradise
There's no time for sin and vice
Living in an Amish paradise
We don't fight, we all play nice
Living in an Amish paradise

Hitchin' up the buggy, churnin' lots of butter
Raised a barn on Monday, soon I'll raise another
Think you're really rightous? Think you're pure in heart?
Well, I know I'm a million times as humble as thou art
I'm the pious guy the little Amlettes wanna be like
On my knees day and night scorin' points for the afterlife
So don't be vain and don't be whiny
Or else, my brother, I might just have to get medieval on your heinie

We been spending most our lives
Living in an Amish paradise
We're all crazy Mennonites
Living in an Amish paradise
There's no cops or traffic lights
Living in an Amish paradise
But you'd probably think it bites
Living in an Amish paradise

The Amish do not believe in modern conveniences such as electricity and automobiles.

Or PAINTBALL GUNS!

[Sangamon Kid]

"They'll steal their neighbor's buggy and put it on top of a building," Fritz said.

Cool...I gotta see that one.

[Revolting cat!]

"That'll learn ya!"

[baltodog]

Blame it all on that Amish gansta' hip-hop.

Q: What is this sound...."clippity-clop, clippity-clop, clippity-clop....BLAM! BLAM! BLAM!...clippity-clop, clippity-clop, clippity-clop."

A: An Amish drive-by shooting.

[ijcr]

Q.What goes clippity clop, bang, clippity clop, bang?


A. Amish drive by shooting.

[FITZ]

"They'll steal their neighbor's buggy and put it on top of a building," Fritz said.

Boys will be boys, boys have always pulled pranks and always will --- it's just something society has to accept about boys and a lot of girls too. It's terrible this kook couldn't control his temper --- I hope he rots in prison.

[montag813]

ASHCROFT DECLARES AMISH TO BE "TERRORISTS" ...ORDERS ALL FBI AGENTS OFF SAUDI ARABIA AND EARTH LIBERATION FRONT INVESTIGATIONS (YES, ALL 3 OF THEM!!!) TO FOCUS ON THE NEW "AMISH THREAT" TO THIS NATION.

[Octar]

We have a lot of them around here. They are looked upon as ignorant vermin. They lose a lot of their "charm" as they get close to you. One wonders why they never have defective or deformed children. Or needy old people. Or funerals?

[strela]

Holmes County, a rural area that has what is believed to be the world's largest Amish population, sees its share of pranks by young Amish people every fall, Chief Deputy Nathan Fritz said. "They'll steal their neighbor's buggy and put it on top of a building," Fritz said.

While this is a tragic story in that a death was involved, I couldn't help but laugh uncontrollably at this line.

[jjm2111]

While using a shot-gun against vandals is not warranted, firing paintballs at someone is very wrong. You can blind someone with a paintball.
