Oxymoron of the Year? Amish Gangs!

This could be the perfect day to watch out for airborne pigs or shiver because hell has indeed frozen over.

Why, you ask, are you any more likely today to see that rare flying porcine or feel the temps plummet in Hades?  Because the Amish have gangs, that's why!

Amish gangs. Add that to your list of oxymorons.

Personally I've never met an Amish person. Oprah visited a family once and I've seen the movie "Witness".  These hardly make me an Amish expert, but I'm certain they're a peaceful lot.

According to news reports, groups of young men are attacking elders by cutting their beards and hair.  Not exactly Sharks and Jets material, but a serious act of disrespect for the Amish.

So do they really call themselves gangs or has the media dubbed them that, because my stereotype is a guy  loaded with bling wearing a muscle shirt to show off his tats.

I can't imagine an Amish teen with a horse and buggy inked on his forearm.

But look --- there goes that pig again!
