Roving gang of anarchists captured without incident

[rambone]

They reject our society, don't pay our taxes, and break our laws. They ride around in gangs, dressed alike, in their 2-horsepower anarchy wagons. Finally they will get the chance to learn about American values from their experience being arrested and thrown in cages with other criminals.

Eight Amish Men Jailed Over Orange Safety Triangles

Eight Amish men were jailed after refusing to affix orange reflective safety triangles to their buggies, saying the triangles violated their religious beliefs.

The men belong to the ultraconservative Old Order Swartzentruber Amish sect in western Kentucky and said the bright orange reflector goes against their modesty codes.

I think it's somewhat commendable that they went to jail to defend their beliefs rather than slinking away to ***** in the seclusion of their homes. Too bad more that claim deeply help principles don't do the same.

Time to move, Yoder.

Them be some epic beards.

If they were that modest you'd think they'd stay off public roads.

IDK #2 and #4 on the top row look pretty scary to me.

Carmel, I often enjoy reading what you have to contribute to INGO threads, but this is getting very petty looking.

I feel sorry for the Amish. They're getting a little taste of what we go through every day.

As usual your "headline" comes in about one half truthful and one half BS.
The Amish do pay taxes.
Self-employed Amish do not pay Social Security tax. Those employed by non- Amish employers do pay Social Security tax. The Amish do pay real estate, state and federal income taxes, county taxes, sales tax, etc.
A little research goes a long way toward enhancing one's credibility.
This link has a great deal of information pertaining to the Amish and their beliefs.

They don't pay gasoline tax, and I bet they don't pay Kentucky's poor tax (lottery). Freakin' anarchists.

Oh, the symbol I entered was two pennies, meaning two cents, which is an English metaphor meaning I was offering MY opinion.

I'm no one's mommy and I'm not fighting anyone else's fight. There is some ribbing and there is repetitive pettiness, which results in lower respect for your future posts. I just thought someone should say it, for your sake.

They don't collect SS either.
It's considered to be "welfare" and they eschew that.

Ding! We have a winnar!

If they want to use public roads then they have abide by the rules of the road. While I think the Amish, anybody for that matter, should be able to practice their religion IN A REASONABLE MANNER, in this case they are in the wrong. I don't know how many times i've been driving through middleberry and while I was going the posted speed of either 55 or 45, i've almost hit a buggy going between 5-10 MPH while I was going over a hill. Without those safety lights and orange triangles, those things are going to get hit and people are going to get seriously hurt just because these people don't want to follow common sense rules of the road.

They either use the public road or attempt to cross countless miles of private property, which nowadays means endless fences, houses, and irate homeowners whining about their lawn. It is simply not an option not to use a road, and they cannot conscionably use the orange reflectors.

So...what are they to do?

If they don't sing the national anthem, f'em.

Hmmm.....
That doesn't seem to be an issue with some Americans.
I understand that Obama doesn't sing the National Anthem.
Or recite the Pledge of Allegiance.

Use them when they are on public roads. Take them off when they get off public roads. It's a public safety issue. Life is tuff when you want to reject all modern things and live 150+ years in the past.

Do you think about Obama in your sleep?
