Amish hate crimes. Its not a common phrase, but in 2012 members of a breakaway Amish group were convicted of federal hate crimes against members of their own faith. Recently a court overturned those charges, potentially redefining laws regarding victims from protected classes. Well discuss the current case, and look back at the violence a peace-loving community perpetrated against itself.
