Amish mayhem

I've always been afraid of the Amish. I have a long history with them. They've been part of the fabric of my life. Ok, so that's pushing it a little...but i've been around them. And they scare me. Much like Hasidic Jews. Much like ANY crazy religious people...especially those dressed in Death Black. The first movie my family ever rented for the VCR (!!) was WITNESS. Odd. Great movie, but an amusing choice. What happened today in the rolling hills of Lancaster County, PA is horrific in and of itself...but that the Amish were the victims just puts it on a whole other level. And even though they were the VICTIMS, and the whole nightmare is freakishly random, it kinda reminded me of what i've always said...that the country/sticks/rural towns of this country leave me feeling far more spooked than a big city to some degree. A pitch black country road...shudder. Evil is everywhere. And it's scarier where you least suspect it. What is WRONG with this world? Well, that anyone can easily purchase murderous weapons for one...
