Yesterday at around midday an Amish horse and cart was stopped by a bunch of rowdy men looking to course trouble for the Amish people passing by. After trying to start a fight and harassing one of the Amish men John Book an off duty detective was then harassed as he was with the Amish men when the incident occurred. Book not tolerating any more after ice cream was put on his face stepped out of the car-age and assaulted the three men.
Now without justifying what Book has done, it should be said that these men got what they deserved. They are simply prejudice towards the Amish and were out to course trouble with them simply because of their differences and choice of life style.
We all live a little differently, so who will be harassed for it next? What has come over a community when it starts to pick at its self and doesn't not appreciate or accept differences.
Violence is not the way to solve any of this matters but something must be done in this small community before we get more problems. Tolerance is something that can not be bought but simply learnt and is something everyone needs to learn. Anyone who doesn't will end up just the same as the tree rowdy men that ran into John yesterday. This is not a threat only a warning that this community must get its act together and learn to live as a community and as a whole.
