NEW CASTLE, Pa. -- State police are searching for a group of young Amish men who they say indecently assaulted three girls recently in Lawrence County.

The incident happened Sept. 2 at a horse auction that the girls attended with their parents on Route 208 in Wilmington Township, police said.

Five Amish men who were "allegedly under the influence of alcohol and controlled substances" Read more: http://www.wtae.com/news/29103230/detail.html#ixzz1XIG8Bw33

Then too I might wonder if that shouldn't read "Five allegedly Amish men ..."

Dang.

Why are they identified by their religion? You would never see a headline " 5 muslim men attack girls" now would you?

Well, they both wear beards...but Islam is the religion of peace...so they're Amish.

Considering that violence, alcohol, and drugs are all forbidden if you are Amish, the headline is somewhat inflammatory.  It is possible that the men, if they are Amish, were on their Rumspringa, and if this is the case then I doubt that they have any immediate plans to be Baptized and embrace the Amish way of life...

Considering that violence, alcohol, and drugs are all forbidden if you are Amish, the headline is somewhat absolutely and intentionally inflammatory.  It is possible that the men, if they are Amish, were on their Rumspringa, and if this is the case then I doubt that they have any immediate plans to be Baptized and embrace the Amish way of life...

Took the liberty to amend your note.

Around these parts they like their home brewed ale; for breakfast even.  But you never see violence.  They're too damn tired, probably.
