The Amish Feud in Ohio

I've never known the Amish in Ohio to be violent or aggressive, but I guess these are troubled times, even for them.

There were a whole bunch of Amish at the Cleveland Zoo yesterday while my wife and I were there. Luckily no drive by pitchforkings or anything.

did any bells ring?

i talked to my mom (in ohio) and she thought this was going on in pennsylvania
why was this big enough news to reach the UK?

There are Amish in Ohio too? UGH! That is where we might be headed next.

Oh yeah, plenty of them. (But they are mostly confined to certain areas, not forcibly)

Ohio Amish Country is a 3-5 county area of Ohio where approximately 40,000 Amish people live and work. It consists of Holmes County, where nearly half the county's residents are Amish, plus Tuscarawas Coshocton, and Wayne Counties. (There are Amish families living in neighboring Ashland and Knox counties and a settlement near Middlefield.)

Ohio Amish Country is located in the rolling hills of east-central Ohio. Easy to get to with Interstates 77 to the east, 71 to the west, and 70 to the south. Remember, you are coming here to relax, so you don't need an Interstate highway!!

I just saw something about this on lol CNN and apparently these are the folks behind the attacks (allegedly) -- some kind of breakaway group?

Their haircuts are freaking me out.

there are 'bowlcuts' & then there are instances in which someone literally cut around a bowl which was placed atop someone's head.

i can't believe how calm they're being as that camera steals their souls.

I would be so happy to be bald if my alternative was one of those haircuts.

I made a barber give me the black version of that haircut when I was in 10th grade

speaking as a bald, i agree.

I looked like a hip-hop mushroom. I need to find my sophomore yearbook and scan it.

Having that haircut aged 3/4 in the Midwest was a right of passage for everyone I knew.

Conclusion of this trial has led to possibly the greatest headline in the history of major daily newspapers, if you break it in the right place.
