I had the chance to help some of these folks when I was in the army in KY. There were some less than honorable folks pestering the Amish folks on the road in front of me. When I stopped to help, the "bad guys" split, but I think I inadvertently offended the Amish folks also. I and the fine folks in the car with me might have said some things that were not acceptable in polite society.

They kinda thanked us and then walked back to the buggy. I was always just a little confused on that outcome. Oh Well
