An excerpt from Amish Grace

The Amish had only words of praise for the police. "The police were
magnificent," said one Amish shop worker, who added, "I’ll wave at them the next
time I see them."

Yea, they have just risked their lives for your lame assed, separate and apart, pacifist, shit fucks, easy on the gratitude or you might over do it! Maybe if you’all would have risked your lives for what your faith asks of you, the police wouldn’t have needed to risk their lives. Who knows, the end result might have been better too.

Again, according to "Amish Grace".

At one moment in the unfolding tragedy, Roberts mumbled something about
giving up and even walked toward the door, according to one of the survivors.
For some reason, however, he returned to his plan, telling the girls that he was
sorry he had to "do this."

What if, instead of armed police circling the school the Amish would have gathered in the school yard in prayer and gently knocked on the door?

Compared to what did happen.

strong was being used! Would they rescue us? Then the shooting started.
