Amish leader, 15 followers convicted of hate crimes in beard attacks
I'm sure all the JWs seeing this are saying, "Look how idiotic their religion is. It's a good thing we're nothing like them!"
Look what shunning can lead to!

His name is "Mullet" LOL . . . seems oddly appropriate.

JW's wouldn't recognise themselves if they looked in a mirror . . . which this metaphorically represents.

How does this have anything to do with shunning?
The news report states: "While the charges charges can carry a sentence of u p to life in prison, the judge can choose any length, and the federal guidelines in this case is probably about 17.5 years, said Mike Tobin, spokesman for the U.S. attorney's office."
With prisons cram packed with violent criminals, 17 years is a bit much; however, I'd like to see him hit in the pocketbook. If they have to sell the farm to do it, fine. Otherwise a year or two would be a realistic sentence in a tough prison. Let's see them keep their beards in a place like that!
