But the BEST part of this article - read the caption to the picture. Tell me if you get a sense of deja vu while reading it. Like you almost read the same thing twice.


I swear, makes me wonder if I could take over these guys jobs. Dont they ever check their stuff?

Read the article. They called them in to demo it because it would take too long otherwise.

TJ you will agree with me on this is that the sweetest thing about this whole ordeal is that the oldest girls said, "shoot me first." Which I find that very christ-like.

How do you kill amish people? What have they done for someone to go bezerk and kill 5 people? That's just weird..

^no...just crazy homicidal freaks looking for people who were in the wrong place @ the wrong time.

@ hyyyper: just because people resort to traditional ways doesnt mean they dont come in contact w/ technology. I've seen amish peeps @ Hersheypark quite a few times, and I doubt they walked or came on horse. The point is amish people embrace both the old and the new, and the fact that a crane is in an amish town should be all that shocking.

I dont wanna be a jerk, but its a bit of a stereotype that amish people dont use tech whatsoever. They just dont fall quite as well into society as the rest of us

Aww, they edited the caption of the image (the main reason I posted but no one saw it)

It said: ...razed the building where 5 amish schoolgirls were killed and 5 others killed."

Which made no sense. Since 5 were killed and 5 injured, but they had it wrote out like the same thing was repeated. Oh well, not funny now.

Probably had someone like you there to point out the idiocy, Real. [lol]

Rollergod, as a matter of fact - it is not her (the girl who offered herself) stance I am most impresed with. It is the entire community in that area which is grieving and demonstrating that to forgive it better than to hate. That is the most Christ-like attitude demonstrated that I have seen in the public view in quite sometime ... sadly (but not surprising), that did not get much "airtime" though. [V]

^^i saw it real, and typos can be slipped trough a check-up, how many time you check them

and to tcon, i surely agree with you, in some cases everybody grabs for their guns and shoots down everyone a tad related to the killer.

Another example of the demonstration of forgiveness in this case. The world should take note ... and make changes to their warped philosophies of revenge.
