 Amish Hair-Cutting Posse Busted in OhioPosted on Nov 23, 2011
We really don’t want to be flip or culturally insensitive, but any story that opens with the phrase “renegade Amish group” immediately grabs our full attention. And that’s just for starters—the leader of this outlaw gang of Amish hair-cutting bandits goes by the highly pertinent name of Sam Mullet. Or maybe it’s time for our holiday break. We’ll let the source material do the straight reportage thing this time. —KA

Hate crime? All violent crime is perpetuated by hate.
How about assault and battery with intent to maim.
In my neighborhood assault on a person is cause enough to use deadly force, bust a cap and all that.
It has been proven that concealed carry laws prevent crime and lessen the need for police.

Religion at it’s best, follow or be cast out. An invitation: you are welcome to come, you inbred fools and give it your best shot to cut my beard, but since I hold religions to be just cult practices you may find it a little more difficult.

Woeful over reaction, although the the missed point, is that hate crimes are under the federal jurisdiction, like kidnapping et al.
The key issue to me is that even the Amish have their rat bags.
Report thisThe problem is and we notice it with our armed forces and police….Authoritarian situations encourage those with Authoritarian mind sets. In this case these people have simply made the next step.
Much like the police officers who ‘casually’ pepper sprayed seated protesters! He too lost the plot.
The problem is two fold the media actually encourages extremes. Secondly unfortunately the public/media doesn’t distinguish between need to know and wants to know aka voyeuristic titillation.

“Legal in California, while people are free to disagree with late-night visits, dangerous weapons and violent attacks about religion in this country, we don’t settle those disagreements with Medical Marijuana, prompts Federal Crackdown.”
