Ohio Amish beard-cutting ringleader gets 15 years

[Mudcat]

CLEVELAND — A judge sentenced the leader of a breakaway Amish sect to 15 years prison Friday in connection with beard and hair-cutting attacks on fellow Amish.



Oh the humanity




Okay I don't know where to start. I saw the headline and thought, 'There are about 4 things that don't seem right there. Beard-cutting? Ringleader? 15 years? For involuntary grooming?'

I figured I must be missing some key details so I read up - but no, it is what it says.

I wonder if they nabbed one of the beard-cutting foot soldiers and got him to flip on the whole organization and now he's in witness protection so the syndicate can't track him down and give him a trim.

Breakaway Amish sect, this guys are doing a revolution!

And they're doing it one shearing at a time!



Ringleaders name is Mullet. Samuel Mullet. That cracked me up when I read it.

I know that beards and mullets are only quasi-related but still.

I wonder if beard-cutting syndicates get into territorial disputes. Like what if this Ohio Beard-cutting family took the clippers to someone in an area that the Jersey Beard-cutting mafia considers theirs.

I could see that leading to some ugliness.

This is great

Matty Bono looks like he's holding a barre chord there

Seriously though: 15 years!!!

People often get much less than that for killing people. Damn near every day. People maim and ruin lives and get a fraction of that.

These people were idiots no doubt - but they were cutting hair.

15 years!!!!

Is there an Amish prison somewhere? If so, what is it made of? Wood? How many prisoners does it hold? Is he going to be the only one in this prison? Or are there overcrowding problems in Amish prisons too?
