Amish girls got killed in school
On October 2, 2006 a gunman went into an Amish School and help students and teachers hostage. He released 16 males, pregnant teacher, and adult. He then executed three Amish girls and seriously injured 6 other people. It seem like he aimed at young girls for his target. This happen in Amish community in Pennsylvania and their religion was Christian. The gunman has no criminal background and has a family of his own. It is speculate that he did it for revenge. http://www.nytimes.com/2006/10/02/us/03amishcnd.html?ref=us
A year ago I pass through this town so it came as a shock to me. The town was a quite place to live in. The Amish community represent in anti social capital. They only associate with people from own people. They don’t like strangers. They are very involve in Christian believes and according to Putman this would increase their civic participation. The Amish community does not believe in technology so they would not even use a car or internet. The media does not influence and according to Putman also increase their civic participation. The Amish people likes to help other people within their community not outsider. The Amish community is very isolated, what would make this gunman hold a grudge against them? He is not part of the Amish community.
