Amish School House Destroyed where 5 School Girls Were Murdered
The one room Amish school house was destroyed Thursday before dawn. It was the sight of the heinous murder where Charles Carl Roberts VI shot to death 5 Amish school girls before killing himself.
What other option was there than for the Amish to rid themselves of this horrible reminder.
“I think the Amish leaders made the right decision,” Mike Hart, a spokesman for the Bart Fire Company, said as loaders lifted debris into dump trucks to be hauled away.
A group of 20 to 30 people, most of them Amish, gathered nearby to watch as the schoolhouse was leveled. “It seems this is a type of closure for them,” Hart said. (MSNBC)
I am very upset what happened to the young Amish girls. The Amish live their lives that THEY feel comfortable with, religion, farming, life in general. They are not to be rediculed about. THEY DO NOT BOTHER US, NOBODY, AND IT IS DEPLORABLE WHAT TOOK PLACE. I said my prayers for the children who were killed – DID YOU!!! They choose their way of living away from this crazy drug infested gun slinging killing world we live in everyday and to have this crazed man invade their peace was sickening to me. I hope they can overcome this and to be able to enjoy their life as it was for them before, God willing! Thank you
