Breaking news: another school shooting

i guess i'm really tired of the media talking about some of the things the Amish believe in, one of which is not being photographed and then they turn around and photograph the heck out of them in their grief. that's just tasteless and disrespectful of their beliefs.

The media (at least the national media) had their consent. They were allowed to film earlier in the week and then were respectfully asked to stop, which they did. However, some inidividuals continue to appear on TV.

Yes, thank God some of the media has morals. Others do anything for a story.

The Amish don’t have health insurance and I can only imagine what the hospital bills for these poor girls will be.

Yeah, they can be photographed with their consent. After all, anyone remember the series "Amish In The City," which followed a group of Amish kids living with "English" kids during Rumspringa? The reason they prefer not to be photograph is because they wish to avoid appearing vain or proud, as well as abiding by what the Second Commandment says about graven images.

Wow...this says a lot about the people he victimized:
