'An Ohio Amish sect leader has been sentenced to 15 years in prison for directing hair- and beard-cutting attacks on Amish people in 2011.
Fifteen of Samuel Mullet's followers were also given prison sentences ranging from one to seven years.
They were convicted of hate crime after prosecutors argued the five attacks were motivated by religious disputes.'

I've always been wary of Mullets.

I'm so relieved that this terror inspiring beard ravaging gang has been stopped in it's tracks. Imagine what might have been next? Hordes of rogue Amish short sheeting beds, or *gasp* buying televisions! 
Jokes aside, this was a bizarre story that only the Amish could really appreciate.

Is it just me, or is it ironic that this guy's name is Samuel "Mullet". I wonder if that was a nickname he chose
