Amish get down with Weed & Cocaine

By Nihilizo on December 4th, 2011

This story is fuck­ing hilar­i­ous. It may even war­rant a detailed analy­sis but for now just laugh:

ederal agents say that they found evi­dence of mar­i­juana and cocaine, as well as clip­pers and scis­sors dur­ing a raid on the com­pound of the Amish beard-cutting sus­pects, now charged with hate crimes.

In a bail hear­ing on Wednes­day, pros­e­cu­tors report­edly intro­duced video evi­dence that included evi­dence of drug use, sex and the infor­ma­tion related to the attacks.

Last week, fed­eral offi­cials con­ducted a raid on a com­pound of leader Sam Mullet’s break­away Bergholz Clan in Ohio, arrest­ing Mul­let and six oth­ers. All seven were charged with vio­lat­ing the Hate Crimes Pre­ven­tion Act, and are accused of break­ing into the homes of main­stream Amish, and cut­ting off their hair and beards. In the Amish com­mu­nity, the beard is a sym­bol of faith.

In the hear­ing, offi­cials accused Sam Mul­let of orches­trat­ing the attacks. ONN TV and WTOV9 report that in the hear­ing, the lead FBI agent on the case told the court that dur­ing the raid, they found Mul­let in a bed­room with the wife of one of his fel­low defen­dants doing ‘sex­ual coun­sel­ing.” Agents also report­edly found scis­sors and clip­pers, and mar­i­juana seeds and cocaine in a barn on the compound.

Another one of the defen­dants, Emanuel Schrock, bar­ri­caded him­self in a room with a child when agents attempted to arrest him, accord­ing to the agent.

Sam Mul­let, his two sons and Schrock were all denied bail in the hear­ing. ”I con­sider these vio­lent acts,” said Mag­is­trate Judge George Lim­bert. ”They are a dan­ger to the Amish com­mu­nity. I don’t con­sider them a threat out­side the Amish community.”

”It appears to me that Sam Mul­let has absolute con­trol of the com­mu­nity,” Lim­bert added, the War­ren Tri­bune Chron­i­cle reports.

The other three arrested in the raid will appear before a judge on Friday.

hehehe. check out those fuck­ing beards. I think I got acid off these dudes once…
