School Shooting: In An Amish School House (no joke)
 

dude off topic but you have teh instead of the in your sig

heh amish people rock.

Too much rock music and violent video games. Children need traditional values!

Umm isn't "Gangster's Paradise" the Coolio song that Weirld Al based "Amish Paradise" on?

my heart is breaking watching this...I am Pennsylvania Dutch. I turn on BBC news and there are Amish people sitting on the ground and I am taken back to see 'my people' on British tv at all and then I see it is a shooting in a group of largely gentle people. A situation like this is scary enough for 'normal' kids. I can't imagine what these kids are making of it..not to mention the invasion of the media into their lives now

sad things need jokes, its what makes the world a more happy place

Apparently you have never been around the Amish. They aren't idiots who don't understand when things need to be done.

i just saw this on CNN too...pretty crazy... :helpme

what's next? nuns in violent gangs?

Crazy times we live in.

The question is if it was an Amish shooter or an outsider. There are 'normal' people that live in houses near Amish farms, etc. I am not sure which senerio would be easier for the Amish community.

WTF is wrong with these kids? Fucking Eminem LOL

they said there was hostages and the shooter was shot dead. They dont' have security in a one room school house with 27 students. So, somebody could just walk in and start shooting. It could be an insider..they used guns for small game hunting, etc so it is possible somebody could get a gun. Also, at the base of it all they are still humans who have all the same internal issues and they can 'snap' too. There was a case a few years back of a murder in the community that made news. However, they are a pacifist community so it is very rare. They read newspapers and stuff so they know what goes on in the world even though they don't watch TV (some people have a radio these days but it is rare). So, who knows if things that have been in the news sparked something.

its the black noise... it hums in the background . makes people do shit

Ishmael is on the case.

6 people killed from what I just heard....

6 people killed..three little girls in critical

It's probably an outside shooter because it takes far too long to load and reload a musket

it was a truck driver - ie NOT Amish. He let the boys go, tied up the girls and shot them execution style. Evil fucker.

they have hunting rifles

I used to live in lancaster. I grew up around the amish.

He was probably annoyed by their slow moving buggies

Damn, that is some truly crazy stuff

crazy people

holy shit this is front page shit on cnn, i thought this was a joke :(

the press conference the Lancaster police are giving is chiiling in its detail

Nice tolerance for other relgions and cultures faggot

Atleast they have lights on them these days. When I was a kid it was difficult to see them at night. I was amazed there weren't more accidents.

I'm sorry, but that's pretty funny.

Seriously though, what pisses me off almost as much is what fucking vultures the media and it's reporters are. I have it on in the other room while I'm working, and I can hear the reporters asking and reasking questions without any semblance of sensitivity, looking for as much gory information as they can possibly get. I understand they have a job to do, but I'd be curious to know the feelings of a reporter whose child was in that building, listening to other reporters do THEIR job.

/rant

It is also different than in other communities where there have been shootings because the Amish generally don't like having their picture taken. It just has to add to their horror to have all the copters above them. Atleast I haven't seen any groundlevel news cameras yet. I will hate whichever news channel attempts to go knocking on Amish doors for comments.

My faveorite question by a reporter so far as on Fox News when one guy asked an expert on the Amish if the Amish liked the movie Witness. He responded 'most of them didn't see it'. Duh.
