Motorist Shoots, Kills Amish Youth

for throwing tomatoes at his car.

people are just way too serious these days
I can understand getting upset ( I think the paintball gun was a bit much) but Jeeez.

Bit extreme. but I bet the prank stops now. I don't know if this is a high speed road but distracting a driver, obscuring a drivers view... do not exactly seem like good ideas.

If you got nailed by a half pound of tomato at 60 miles per hour and it ruined you apholstery your shirt and blackend your eye. i am sure it would piss you off. This little prank was perty nasty IMO. Dangerous. generally foolish. The sheriff should have put a stop to it years ago.

The Amish have always been an odd bunch. I don't know how throwing tomatoes has become a past time on Labor day.

i dunno if i woulda shot at them but i can garuntee that i would be pissed off enough to scare the living crap out of em. i prolly woulda got a paintball gun of my own and lit em up. or drive out in the field and chase em around.

the kids shouldn't have thrown the tomatoes, and the guy shouldn't have shoot into the corn field. But comeon, the guy warned them, what, two times? I'd be high tailing my rear end home if some guy told me he'd shoot me if I threw another tomato at his car.

like epidemic said, the sheriff should have put an end to this a long time ago. I'd probably get arrested for sitting out on I-205 and throwing anything into the road. It's just plain stupid.

I was just in Lancaster, PA last week. The Amish are about the most honest and non-violent people that exist.

I agree. and might I add not to bright At least not the 23 year old.

PS I am sorry that his life ended this way. The guy who did this is a candidate for some anger management during his life sentence in jail.

What kind of past time is throwing tomatoes at ones personal property such as a car? I mean some people cherish there cars like it was their baby or something.

I guess if your going to do stuff like this you better be prepared for the consequences from other people

(Although shooting into the corn field was extreme I see this maybe the Amish should re-think some of there past times to keep up with the more aggressive modern world )
