I want to know your thoughts about the Amish girls being murdered in a P.A. school.

[linskyjack]

Whats the point---everyone is upset ----some whacko goes into a school and kills innocent children---what other reaction would there be?

[Bluetiger0990]

What do you think made the man to do it?

[NateRD23]

Because those Amish kids were different from the "norm". Thats why.

[linskyjack]

Nah, because the school was relatively close to his home. He really didn't give a darn whether or not they were Amish or not---he just wanted to kill some female kids. Its not that complex and why he did it probably has to do with a form of mental illness.

What can one say....except remember these little innocents so cruelly taken from their families....

Naomi Rose Ebersole, 7; Anna Mae Stoltzfus, 12; Marian Fisher, 13; Mary Liz Miller, 8; and her sister Lena Miller, 7.

[angelize56]

The two sisters....how does one live through that... And Anna Mae's sister is among the wounded...too tragic for words...

[angelize56]

This sums it up eloquently for the faith among the families of the dead:

"We think it was God's plan and we're going to have to pick up the pieces and keep going," he said. "A funeral to us is a much more important thing than the day of birth because we believe in the hereafter. The children are better off than their survivors." - Sam Stoltzfus

I'm not so sure I could be so forgiving as they are....

[linskyjack]

Amish are very decent people---By the way, did you ever see that movie called Witness with Harrison Ford----You should really see it--takes place in Amish country

[angelize56]

I saw that Jack!!

Good afternoon Jack!

[angelize56]

There's another with Mariska Hargitay as a cop investigating an Amish young lady who allegedly killed her newborn.

Amish country is beautiful and serene....

[linskyjack]

Angel, see Witness---its awesome--actually a great movie.

[RSM123]

I saw that film when it was released here 87 / 88, with Kelly McGillis in it too.

Great film, and since I really am 'English' it was a real eye opener since I had no notion such people existed.

Must take real courage to remain a pacifist no matter what.



By all accounts this geezer was a scumbag.

Took k.y jelly with him - hmmmm ... wonder what that was for ?



The only decent thing he did that day was put a round through his own brain pan.

In future any of these people who are foolish enough to surrender, should at once be turned over to the families of the hostages..

[canndy]

Makes anyone upset.

Even more cruel is that he was going to molest the girls. I hope the three girls fight thru.

[angelize56]

Hi canndy! There are 5 little ones still hanging in there...God bless them and heal their wounds...physical and mental ones!
