Amish girl asked to be shot to save others

[compnovice]

Wow this takes a lot of courage, , especially from a 13 year old. Rest in peace...

PHILADELPHIA, Pennsylvania (Reuters) -- One of the girls who died in Pennsylvania's Amish schoolhouse massacre asked the killer to shoot her first in an apparent bid to save the younger girls, a woman who spoke to the victim's family said Friday.

Rita Rhoads, a nurse-midwife who delivered 13-year-old Marian Fisher as well as another victim, said Fisher appealed to Charles Carl Roberts IV to shoot her first because she thought it might allow younger girls to survive.

Rhoads said she did not know whether Fisher in fact was shot first. Roberts shot 10 girls ages 6 to 13, killing five of them and then himself in Monday's rampage.

Fisher's 11-year-old sister, Barbie, appealed to Roberts to shoot her next, Rhoads said. Barbie survived and was in Children's Hospital of Philadelphia recovering from shoulder, hand and leg injuries.

Searched for amish, sorry if this is a repost.

Sorry if this sounds disrespectful, but if South Park is anything but the truth, she's up there in heaven.

Westboro "Baptitst" Church. Something about God Hates the Amish because America tolerates "fags" and other such nonsense.

Would be ironic if a WBC member was tragically killed. Imagine the turmoil for the survivors, "Do we protest or not?" 😀

To all the girls killed in this tragedy. 🙁

This:

Mike Gallagher, a nationally syndicated talk-radio host, turned over 55 minutes of his program yesterday morning to representatives from a fringe Christian group in exchange for a written promise that its members would not picket the funerals of the five Amish girls killed on Monday by a gunman inside their Pennsylvania schoolhouse.

Some representatives of the group, the Westboro Baptist Church of Topeka, Kan., led by the Rev. Fred Phelps, have contended that the Amish community bears some responsibility for the girls? deaths as a consequence of its religious practices.

The group said it was also seeking to draw attention to its dispute with Gov. Edward G. Rendell of Pennsylvania, who signed legislation this year barring pickets near funerals, a response to the church?s efforts to protest near the funerals of American soldiers killed in Iraq. The group said the military deaths were a result of God?s disappointment with ?the sins of America.?

?The Lord your God is ramping up the issues, is smiting this nation,? Shirley Phelps-Roper, a church representative and a daughter of Mr. Phelps, told listeners of ?The Mike Gallagher Show,? in reference to the shootings in Lancaster County. ?What he did with one stroke on that day, sending a pervert in ? because America is a nation of perverts ? it?s appropriate he sent a pervert in to shoot those children. The Amish people were laid to an open shame because they are a false religion.?

In a telephone interview after the broadcast, Mr. Gallagher, whose program is syndicated by the Salem Radio Network to nearly 200 stations and who is also an on-camera contributor to Fox News, said that while he strongly disagreed with the group, ?I?ve never been prouder of this radio show being able to do some good.?

I don't understand, if people are going to go on a rampagge, and kill people why don't they ever do it to the people like the Phelps group? why is it always those that are innocent? Those that have not lashed out at anyone?

hats off to the girl and gallagher

What brave children, I am ashamed to say that I don't think I would be able to say the same in that situation. 😱
