This is silly:
It is a picture from the Discovery Channel's (US) Amish Mafia.
Raumspringe jokes aside.
This is bullshit. People who know the Amish more than I do about them than I do are irate about this show. The Amish are fairly tight, but they aren't totally closed off from society (just go to Reading Terminal).
People who know the Amish point out that this violent picture is about as antithetical as you can get to their culture. They point out how the Amish handled the West Nickel Mines Amish School shooting and how they forgave the killer and his family.
Then, there is the reaction of the Amish to this as well:
It's not clear how the Amish themselves view the brouhaha. One, a man named Jake who asked only to be identified by his first name, said he had not seen the show and had no desire to.
"I know it's not legit. I was kinda on the sidelines cheering it would go away faster than it came," he said. Jake said he appreciated the rising opposition against the show. Given the opportunity to watch a neighbor's television, he said he'd prefer to peek at a football game. "An Eagles game - all the boys love that," he said.
Come on Discovery Channel, go back to things that educate people rather than titillate them. This is titillation: not education.
