ASHLAND — Twenty-six Amish who refused to pay their fines for violating a law that requires flashing lights on their buggies appeared in court on Friday.

Once there, Ashland Municipal Court Judge John Good ruled out the possibility of jail time for them and instead said he would impose liens on their real estate.

    The last one is bullshit. They’re not putting themselves at risk, but others too.

    It’s like saying the solution to DUI is to make it legal but they are responsible for their well-being.

      Yes and i do think that should be the case. There are people that can drive better than other drivers even when they have a beer or a small amount of drugs in their system.

      But then you should also be responsible for everybody’s wellbeing
