Dang those Amish!
Could the dispatcher have been one of Holder’s people?
I don’t know, Saks carries expensive jewelry and her broach alone was worth 50K.
In the early 80s I was in a high end jewelry store in Houston, Texas looking for a birthday gift for my mother. Two women came in and immediately went to a display of large emeralds. One bought a very large emerald and diamond broach and didn’t even flinch at the price, saying it would go good with the dress she just bought.
Some people never think about being robbed.
This may surprise you, but there are people out there who have expensive jewely and wear it. The late Leona Helmsley and people in her wealth category think nothing of $200k wiorth of bling.
Lucky it’s illegal to carry a weapon in Chicago; someone might have got hurt.
Quakers might be better, as the Amish own guns. I don't know if Quakers do or not.
Quakers are pacifists for the most part.
Are they against gun ownership, even for hunting? I know the Amish people are big on hunting as a food source.
I lived between Reading and Lancaster, Pa. back in the 60s, lots of Amish and the men were hunters, I had no doubt back then that they would use their guns to defend family.
I really don’t know what their stand is on guns and the use of guns.
