Amish hate crimes

ive read a lot of things over the years, some very weird things at that but this has to be one of those what has really gotten my attention.

It seems that a dozed Amish man one that was 66 years old decided to cut the beards and hair of  5 fellow Amish men.

Unfortunately the story is very vague but i really wish it wasn't.  It just goes to show that no matter your race, religion or affiliations that no one is exempt from hate crimes and i find this extremely sad as this country is supposed to be about freedom and we are all slowing losing what is left.

i lived in an Amish community, in an Amish home for a month in the past and while it was eye opening it was also kind of cool. Seeing how hard they try to be self sufficient and not depend on the Englishman at all.

i have to give this community credit, even if others see them as living in a way past day and age. They dont bend to English ways, their efficiency in things is amazing as is how their families are raised.  While living there i cant say i ran into one Amish person who was rude to me even if they didnt understand my ways.

i do wish i knew why this man and his friends committed this tragedy but even if we were told would we understand??? Probably not as their ways are different, not good bad wrong or right, just different but its worked for them for many many years.
