[TheSkoalboy09]

[mrdeleted]

@TheSkoalboy09 I live in Loudonville, why?

[mitch4942]

that guy sounds like a jerk :( throwing tomatos...

lol what do the amish do in their spare time...? do they dance? :D

[mrdeleted]

@mitch4942 No, they don't dance... This may sound a little "backwoods" but this is one of the "past times" of people that have no TVs.

[ANGELBLU2042]

Think this guy is full of Bull!

[mrdeleted]

@ANGELBLU2042 And what are you full of? 

[insanetaxcollector1]

@mrdeleted red bull

[sh1ft9]

you do kinda seem a little perminantly lost and confused

im gonna put it down to inbreeding

[mrdeleted]

@sh1ft9 Im going to put your comment down to stupidity.

[DixieOfDeKalbCounty]

Horse poo=Amish exsaust fumes.lol jw...alot of your vids are about the Amish, so why did u leave personaly?

[mrdeleted]

@DixieOfDeKalbCounty You can search for the video "amish memories" on my channel, and that sort of explains it...

[mrrodneyalong]

geez guy you can really draw a story out!

[benjammin8807]

hey chonas doo bisht n dumb ass. u cant even tell a story.

[mrdeleted]

Who is Chonas?

[benjammin8807]

ya ya chonas he bisht my cousin!!! his fadder iss abraham yoder and hiss mudder iss also his third cousin ya jonass ya

[mrdeleted]

Im sorry, but where did you learn to speak English? My name is Joseph, not Chonas or Jonas.

[jessejmorris2nd]

cant you do positive videos on your family past cause that is what I like to see and my sister showed me that david yoder video wich she likes to look for bad stuff what do you have to say about the mennonites

[mrdeleted]

I am not negative against the Amish, I do report on issues that I like, and don't like, and speak honestly on the subjects. For this case, I think both the Amish and non-Amish were wrong in how this went down. It was a sad case from both sides.

As for the Mennonites, I was living with a relative years ago that was a retired minister, and although I don't agree with the religion, I think they were really nice people.

[stalkgns]

ummm and uhhh are the key words in your speech, that shirt is pretty fucking priceless as well. It's clear your parents are amish, you can't form words. This is why they stick to milking cows and don't drive cars, too much brain power required for anything else.

[mrdeleted]

@stalkgns and?

[keoishe]

dude that is crazy, lol note to self....don't throw tomatoes!

[barneycopiedgrimace]

The best part of this vid is the shirt..don't even want the sound

[mrdeleted]

ok?!

[barneycopiedgrimace]

i'm just curious-i'm not amish, but i love to go to Lancaster-do you enjoy going back there when you visit your parents at all? I sam your other vid with i guess it was your mom...

[mrdeleted]

Yes I do like to go visit my parents when I get a chance.

[jhoohio]

I have no desire to watch any of your other videos I'm sorry that you were abused as a child but it was not because your parents were amish

[mrdeleted]

I was not abused by my parents, but by my brother. But i am not really talking about myself, but about all the other kids within the Swartzentrubers that get abused.

Now the Amish are abusing my parents, and my Dad is paralyzed.

[jhoohio]

I love how u pm all of your insults I was born amish but am not a member of the church You can define that however you want I could care less

[mrdeleted]

I did not PM you once.

[jhoohio]

You are scum I hope people realize what a fraud you are You are lower than the horseshit you walked around in barefoot when you were a kid

[mrdeleted]

Thanks for all the hate comments, they are what makes me keep going here on youtube!

[jhoohio]

What does it matter? You don't care about what happened You are only trying to sensationalize this for your own benefit

[mrdeleted]

My benefit? Heh, I wish it was that simple.

[jhoohio]

In response to your questions.. I am amish I was at the funeral so i think I should know which church he and his family attended

[jhoohio]

In response to your questions.. I am amish I was at the funeral so i think I should know which church he and his family attended

[jhoohio]

This video still serves no purpose other than getting your face in front of a camera I find it extremely offensive He made a mistake and paid the ultimate price It sickens me that someone would try to use this for personal gain Delete this video and i will not bother you or your other 195 videos

[mrdeleted]

Yes it serves a purpose... and how many Amish were with him?

[jhoohio]

Please just do me a favor and remove this video You do not have the facts straight and if someone wants to know what happened i'm sure they can find a better source

[mrdeleted]

You have yet to provide enough evidence to me that I did not say everything right as I knew them. i was told he was Amish, and I question why you say he was not, but I'm not removing a video just cause someone asks me to. I have removed 1 video where my source told me the real story later, but you have not provided a "real story" for me to present so why should I remove my video?

[jhoohio]

As far as educating the world about the amish.. You are merely contributing to the stereotype that every amish person is an uneducated imbecile

[mrdeleted]

Hardly. I know that is a stereotype, but I am hardly contributing to it. I am actually thinking some of the commentators are uneducated, as they use rather poor language.

But I do have people who do "get it" about the Amish and how I feel about it.

The Amish are treating my parents vary bad right now and I don't know what to do to help.

I am wondering, are you Amish or Mennonite?

[jhoohio]

I agree that the amish are not perfect but do you really think that posting a video on youtube will help anything?

[mrdeleted]

not just 1, but many, I have 196 videos on here. 2,096,769 views on them total as of right now. I was of course referring to my Q+A videos.

[jhoohio]

Throwing tomatoes is not an "amish pastime" either I understand that you are bitter against your former culture but do everyone a favor and stop spreading lies and talking about things which you know nothing about

[mrdeleted]

I am not bitter about the Amish, i love my people, but I want to help them wake up about a few issues, and help the rest of the world know them better.

[jhoohio]

You make me sick You are trying to use someone else's tragedy to gain popularity Don't forget that the person you are talking about was also someone's family member or friend (in this case, mine) And for the record, he was mennonite, not amish

[mrdeleted]

Ahhh why would ANYONE (Amish or not) throw tomatoes at passing cars? I am not trying to "gain popularity", I already have popularity, I was just reporting on a case that I knew about.

Yes it is a sad case, (from both sides) but would you go yell at a tv reporter for reporting it?

As for the "amish pastime" comment, that came from my bosses who were Old Order Amish.

[kilkid1234]

what the hell

[lablover959]

I remember when this happened! Were they kids or adults who threw tomatoes?

[mrdeleted]

teens, the man that shot him was older and died in prison from heart problems...

[CALICOTV301]

Hey Mr. Deleted...first off, great video! Thanks for sharing.

I have a question...

1. Are you curious about the rest of the world?

[mrdeleted]

Thanks, and yes...

I have though been fortunate to have had many friends online from a lot of different countries, and I have somewhat learned a little from each of them. Somethings are good, and other things are not.

[mariostud]

tomatoes v. bullets? Hmm?? I'll take tomatoes.

[mrdeleted]

tomatoes.

[CALICOTV301]

Me too...but, sometimes people don't have compassion for others. For example, the shoot could've just had two relatives die or so, in pain, and the folks threw tomatoes at the wrong time.

It's a sad situation, but in this world, you have to try to think wisely, and realize that there's a cause for every effect.

[mrdeleted]

I would not have thought that I would be getting shot for throwing tomatoes, but I think though it was a un-wise move to throw them at cars. Someone was going to get mad about it. (Still is no excuse for either side)

[Adamyoder18]

Ha Do you live in hope. i live like right behind wayne door on 160.

[mrdeleted]

Sorry, no I am in Loudonville. I just went there to record the video.

[shanestar]

everytime a car goes by it makes a really loud sound on your camera..I wonder, could the amish be reacting to the negativities created to our world, our environment, our lifestyle by the automobile industry? notice how much quieter the horse buggy is... I'm glad we've got the Amish, they live well w/ the earth...other religions don't. I LOVE THE AMISH. very good people through and through.

[ozfuji]

i am a huge athiest and you make more sense than almost all other religious people i have ever met.

with your tone your view and your ideals.

really you sir are a good man. sorry to be a wierdo...

but you make more sense than most other god fearing people i meet.

[mrdeleted]

Thanks man :-)

[CALICOTV301]

I'd just like to say...Im not a religious person. I agree with what you are saying. I think many people need religion to keep them in line - more of a psych thing.

We are separated by religion, race, beliefs, etc. in this world. I think it's really sad.

So anything that divides us I don't follow.

[mrdeleted]

I am a Christian, but not "religious". I don't go to a church, but I still believe in God.

[AyakoTachi]

I like this video. You are speaking faster, more clear. I can understand it.

[mrdeleted]

Thanks.

[moysesnyc]

i like your shirt.

[mrdeleted]

Thank you. I think it stands out well in this video.

[phillipseric]

i think its gaayyy

[moysesnyc]

then it's perfect for you

[phillipseric]

Aw, snapizzle!

[mrdeleted]

LOL!

[mrdeleted]

What's wrong with "gaayyy"? You say that as if it was a bad thing.

[phillipseric]

Gay is not natural. its an abomination in the eyes of God.

[mrdeleted]

So you are saying my shirt is an abomination in the eyes of God? Interesting.

[phillipseric]

Wanna get hammered and make out?

[mrdeleted]

Is your mama gonna to join?

[rockinewok]

Man that's beautiful country up that way. I was in Mt. Hope a couple of years ago at their horse auction.

[ClEaNfReAk85]

Is this guy retarded or something?

[mrdeleted]

The guy that shot the kid? I would not know, he died in prison.

[JmastR11]

Didnt know if you knew or not but the guy that shot him has died now. He died in prison becues of heart problems i think. It took them long enough to get him locked up!

[mrdeleted]

No I had not heard, I had only heard that he had heart problems, but not that he had died... Where you at now? I am currently in Holmes County too, but closer t Ashland County Amish area then Mt Hope... I also did not know Steven, was not even sure what his name was, in part cause this was an Old Order community, and I was from the Swartzentruber community...

[JmastR11]

Im from Holmes/Wayne county that there was my stomping ground.I was big into partying with all my amish cousins and friends at that time that Steven got shot there. I kinda knew him. I was friends with one of the other boys there that night. It was a very sad time to bad all the kids didnt slow down there partying. Its so sad to see that kinda of stuff come into the amish.

[btpeachey]

Throwing tomatoes is an amish pastime.lol

maybe they should find another pastime.

[mrdeleted]

LOL ya I would say so!

[ItsShmandy]

im confused are you still amish or what! and if you choose not to be amish dont your parents shun you??

[mrdeleted]

I was not a member, I left the community when I was 18

[moreunderstanding]

Nice video,I live close to a Amish cumunity,here in Findlay, Ohio. I have never met any one who is Amish in person.But I respect there belief's and there way of life.Thank for posting peace and God's blessing's to you

[AugustAmy]

I like you're videos, keep up the good work.

[cloudberry121]

People are too angry these days. Yes, it's disrespectful to throw tomatoes at another person but it shouldn't be a death sentence.

The world is too short on mercy. We are too tense and angry. We need to calm down.

[mrdeleted]

amen. Shooting is uncalled for...

[cube11235]

Maybe it is just me, but the way you talk makes it sound like you are never in a hurry. I like that.

Thanks for sharing your videos.

[cloudberry121]

Well said. I agree. We are so wound up and in a hurry. I yearn for the ability to rarely be in a hurry.

[missno8]

I haven't been to Holmes county in a couple of months and I'm missing it so much. I live 3 hours away but we go as much as we can. We go through loudonville and perrysville and nashville to get to Millersburg then from there to Berlin or Charm(which is my favorite). We will be coming back at the beginning of Oct to get our pumpkins and gourdes from Hershbergers. I seriously would love to move there some day. I have a good friend who is housekeeping supervisor at the Amish Door.

[mrdeleted]

Maybe you can tell me next time you come through, and we can meet?

[missno8]

that would be cool wouldnt it? I'll have to let you know.

[CliffKFF]

I was curious about the relative ages of subjects in your story...was the Amish boy pre-teen or what, and what about the gunman? It could help to understand such senselessness...to an extent.

[mrdeleted]

I think it was teens...

[thizizliz]

How strange to throw food at people when it could be used to feed the hungry. And how awful to shoot someone for such a minor crime. It is so hard to understand people, isn't it? Thanks for the story.

[mrdeleted]

yes, human nature is complex...

[myGodis1lord]

you said you were never a member, How is that, do you have rumspringa and you chose to leave is that why you never became a member. May i ask why you never became a member. And do you believe the same faith (doctrine) as your parents and the Amish community. I go to a pentecostal church, we are a holiness church we as well as the Amish have a high standard of holiness, so why did you decide to not be a member. thanks for replying

[mrdeleted]

If you leave before you get baptised, you are not shunned (you get baptised when you join the church)

I did not believe the same way that my parents, they "hope" that they are going to heaven, and I believe in knowing you are going. (among other reasons)

[gandersource]

We get a lot of horse poop over here. It's one of the drawbacks (or blessings depending on your POV) of living in a rural area. Nice shirt! :)

[twish1999]

How fascinating, i loved seeing that Amish buggy go by, i really don't know very much about Amish people

x hugs x

[grandplans]

that was interesting. Did they ever get the guy who shot the tomato thrower? I haven't seen amish country since I left Missouri. I know a lot of people in the neighboring towns in missouri did not treat the amish of the area too kind either. I don't know why.

[mrdeleted]

Yes, I think he turned himself in...

[mike78]

Me too! I would love to live among with them, especially Mennonite. I live about few minutes away from country, but would love to move there in the future.

[CMLovejoy]

Some day I want to buy a farm and live with the amish. I don't want to be amish, I just want to live among them.
