What has this world come to????? Another school shooting and three kids are dead. I remember those strings of school shootings from 1996 to 1999 before Columbine.
No matter what one writes about the Amish, one never really can comprehend the Amish until they've worked, walked and talked with them. They're not easy to distill into a few paragraphs or pithy sentences.
Thanks AM...it won't happen again...
3 have passed on. 7 are critical, no news on the perverted grudge he held. This is from the latest article I read. :(
I believe that the lesson here is that when it's an adult that goes in, the cops cannot wait. At all.
What kind of animal would do something like this?
There are lot of things I admire about the Amish.
Remember, the Amish are a culture within our own culture. They have rejected most of modern materialism and this incident will most likely strengthen their beliefs.
I have been so depressed and upset about this story all day that I haven't even been able to post. Prayers for them. This is hideous.
Do you know if they ever found that man who tried to accost a young Amish girl a few weeks ago? Tried to get her into his pick-up truck? When I heard of this tragedy today and the bizarre circumstances, I wondered if it was the same guy.
Praying here for those families.
It's really sad that teachers need to be armed nowadays. How come most of these horrible shootings are happening in schools; I believe almost all in public schools. I think it has alot to do with a bad anger that many people feel towards the school system that teaches alot of useless stuff and a theory of evolution that tends to create a doubt about God. And the teachers are not allowed to teach the amazing evidence in the creationism theory. Nor are they teaching the big holes in evolution. It's not suprising at all; the darkside loves to brainwash kids using unwitting teachers as it's tool. Kids would be alot better off today learning the basics and then getting a job until they find there interest in business rather than suffering through the public school system.
If anyone is in the Montgomery/Howard county area in Maryland. There is an Amish Market on 29 at the intersection of 198 in Burtonsville. The Amish come in Monday-Saturday from Lancaster to a store in a strip center to sell their produce, pasteries, dairy, meats, etc. They serve an awesome breakfast/lunch too. There is also wood crafts such as mailboxes, benches, picnic tables, etc. there for purchase.
I know the feeling. I live in Ohio and have never been motivated to go to a crime scene. But this event has me wanting to do something for those Amish people affected by this. Knowing they have home funerals etc. and how this event has intruded on them. I just want to take a simple bit of food...
I know they're private and I won't intrude, but I wish there was a way to express my sympathy, condolences, prayers to them in a manner that is befitting them.
Are the hospitals taking donations for the injured?
Paradise is not too far from Blue Ball.
I don't live anywhere near them (although I did live in Amish country in PA years ago), but I wish there were something I could do, too. I can't even imagine what motivated this man, other than Satan. Those poor little girls.
Turn your compass around. Lancaster is east of York.
At an Amish school, that sicko know nobody is going to be shooting back.
At any school in the US the sickos know that no one is permitted to carry firearms.
