NEW WILMINGTON, Pa. (WKBN) – An Amish teen from New Wilmington is facing DUI charges as a result of a traffic stop earlier this month.

John Byler, 19, was pulled over around 7:30 p.m. October 1 in the borough. He was in an Amish buggy and didn’t have the required lights activated, according to the New Wilmington Police Department.

Police said an officer ordered Byler to turn on the buggy’s lights. Finally, investigators said he did so but appeared to be struggling to control the horse.

“I had a buddy that was charged with DUI in his WHEELCHAIR!”

That doesn’t sound creditable. How did it turn out for him?

I wonder how you get a horse and buggy to swerve in traffic. I would think it would be pretty much straight and full steam ahead. You can’t really speed. Hmmmm. A bit of oiverkill methinks. Get relatives to come and get him in another buggy is what I would have done.

The judge threw it out, but gave him a “stern warning” about public intoxication.

I say, “ horseshit!” No matter hiw drunk the kid is, if the horse isn’t drunk then there is no crime. He could be passed out in the back and the horse would get him home safely and never kill another horse or human in a head-on collision.

Yep. SoCal. Figures.

The whole judicial system isn’t trying to keep the public safe. Its raping the public for every cent that it can get via ridiculous laws.

I’m so beyond glad that i dont live there anymore.

OK, so some Amish kid is on rumspringa (?), wants to cut loose and an `English’ pal advised him to sample life on ... 4chan pol the other night. He wanted advice from them on what to do on his furlough. Talk about Daniel in the lions’ den.

Some autist posted a picture of the Code Pink freaks wearing their stupid vagina body costumes and asked him what he thought.
He replied, “Pink lions!” It was like something from the movie `Blast From the Past’. He was really sweet, they took it easy on him.
