"I'm proud of our Amish and have this strong urge to protect them and help them right now."

Very eloquently stated Miztiki, your post really hits to the heart of why this incident is so horrific.

A little more info. on Roberts and a timeline:

Paraphrasing from the attached article - Roberts worked the night shift prior to this shooting, and made his milk truck runs. He ended his shift at 3 a.m. Mon. morning. He took his children to the bus stop at 8:45 and returned to his house.

Roberts was a lifelong area resident and it is known that he probably had contact with some of his victims families through his job collecting raw milk from farms.

Psychologists have speculated that Robert's acted deliberately by going to the school to get even with the community by targeting their most vulnerable targets, their children.
