WE ARE ALL SUPPOSED TO BE COLOR BLIND!
BUT THIS STORY REALLY DISTURBED ME.
AN AMISH MAN, HIS WIFE, AND THREE SMALL CHILDREN WERE RIDING ALONG IN THEIR HORSE-DRAWN BUGGY (IN PENNSYLVANIA), MINDING THEIR OWN BUSINESS.
SUDDENLY, A BLACK PUNK PULLED UP BESIDE THEM IN HIS CAR AND SHOT THE HORSE. . . . JUST FOR FUN.
AND HE IS ONLY BEING CHARGED WITH "MISDEMEANORS"!
HERE IS THE STORY:
Man Charged In Amish Buggy Drive-By Shooting
Horse was killed by single bullet fired on Pennsylvania roadway
FEBRUARY 12--Police today announced charges have been filed against a Pennsylvania man in connection with the fatal drive-by shooting of a horse pulling an Amish buggy.
Timothy Antonio Diggs, 22, is facing seven misdemeanor counts, including reckless endangerment, cruelty to animals, and firing into an occupied vehicle, according to the East Lampeter Township Police Department.
The horse was pulling a buggy with five family members around 9 PM on November 24 when “an unknown type car traveling north passed the buggy.”
The buggy’s occupants, a married couple and their three young children, told investigators that they heard “a loud noise, described as sounding like a firecracker” as the vehicle passed.
Upon returning to their farm, the family discovered that the horse had been shot in the chest. The animal died before a veterinarian reached the family’s residence.
Diggs, seen in the above mug shot, has been jailed since cops executed a search warrant at his home in early-December. During that raid, officers located handguns and a motorcycle that had been stolen in two separate burglaries.
Police did not disclose whether one of the seized guns was used in the horse killing, nor did they reveal a motive for the shooting.
