Horror in Amish country

We have freinds in Lancaster and were just there 2 weeks ago. Their neighbors, who we have know for a few years, are Amish and are great people. Though I am non religious, I really admire their work ethic and their dedication to their beliefs. I've also had the opportunity to help them bring in the hay and tobacco, and get a feel for what they do on a daily basis.

I'm sure this will hit the community as a whole, but the strength of the Amish people will pull them through this.

    Tragic

    The story of the shooting deaths of the Amish school children is absolutely horrific. I was just in that area two weeks ago for the Oil Heat Cares Retreat and drove around the countryside, admiring the Amish and the hard work they put into the land. It's hard to imagine someone so enraged that they could commit such an act. Please pray for the victim's families and for the recovery of the injured.

    It's hard to imagine that a simple country schoolhouse can now be considered unsafe. It strikes at the heart of our own security everywhere.

    Hug your children -- even harder tonight.

    We live in difficult days

    Mental illness seems to be rampart these days. I can see no other reason for this tragedy. My heart breaks for the parents.

    School used to be a safe place to be.

    Absolutely VILE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    We are rotting at the core. I heard tonight that this
    evil man had a history of child molestation. This country is paying the ultimate price for tolerating deviant pedophilic behavior. It is rare when these sickos DON'T have several priors. Some Judge slapped them on the wrist....some parole board said....ok, he's reformed...he's paid his debt to society.....NONSENSE!!!!! Prayers go out to the Amish and Mennonite comminities. Mad Dog

    Absoutely VILE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I heard today that this pus-bag had a child-molestation background. Same with the other loser in Colorado. What's with our country that no one wants to deal with these evil
    monsters? The judges, juries, parole boards, ACLU and lawyers that aid and abet these pieces of garbage deserve the same fate as they do: Immediate death and eternity in HELL! My heart and prayers and with the Amish & Mennonite Communities of Lancaster tonight. He slaughtered the weakest and most vulnerable of lambs....there is a special place in Hell for this )*(&(&)(_(^$R%$%*&^*&^ Mad Dog
