Amish barber arrested for bad cuts

That is not the headline.

The headline is that the men shown here, Amish, failed to affix orange triangle safety signs on their horse-drawn carriages and the judge threw the book at them.

“Amish criminals: But can they churn butter behind bars?

These members of an Amish sect were sentenced to jail by a Kentucky judge after refusing to pay fines for failing to affix orange safety triangles to their horse-drawn buggies. They did, however, get to wear dark-colored jumpsuits instead of the standard orange coveralls. Wonder if they broke into a round of "Amish Paradise"?”

Let’s see if I can scare up a picture of the judge.

Picking on the Amish, my gosh. Next thing you know, Homeland Security will bust Shakers for hanging chairs on their walls.

The laws are for everyone's safety. That includes slow, horse-drawn, Amish buggies traveling on the roadways. Refusing to pay the fine and to affix the caution triangles is just plain stupid. Another group of self-created 'victims'.
