You know things have taken a turn for the surreal when you come into work and the first thing you hear is that management just had to break up a scuffle between foreign reporters and an employee.

If I were permitted to speak to the media, I know exactly what I would say. Everyone wants to know what kind of people the Amish are, and I have just the thing to tell them.

It has received zero media attention so far, but it is the best and simplest explanation of what the Amish are truly like... two funds have been set up by the Old Order Amish community to accept donations. One is the Nickel Mines Children's Fund. The other is the Roberts Family Fund, for the Children of the Roberts Family.

The Roberts Family is the family of the gunman.

I think that speaks volumes about what kind of people the Amish are.

Context is dealing with the aftermath, and has donation links.
