Let's be Amish.

On Monday, a non-Amish man living in an Amish neighborhood went into the Amish one-room school house, tied up all the little girls, and shot them in the head. Five little girls died, including two seven and eight year old sisters, whose funeral is today.

From the BBC today:

The Amish have reached out to the family of the 32-year-old milk-tanker driver in the aftermath of Monday's violence.

A Roberts family spokesman said an Amish neighbour had comforted the family hours after the shooting - and extended forgiveness to them.

"I hope they stay around here and they'll have a lot of friends and a lot of support," said Daniel Esh, an Amish artist whose grand-nephews were inside the school at the start of the attack.
