And what are reservations in legal terms ? What do it’s residence live and abide by? From any native friends i have , I’ve never heard anything good about the condition of the their res.




Reservations are sovereign nations and have many of the same powers as States and the Fed. Many/most natives get so royally fucked over by the Fed though.

Thier pies are are good AF....some Amish run some pretty fucked up puppy mills, though.

“I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”

Awful lot of hate and stereotyping of a religious group in this thread. Acting like theres not hidden rape and abuse in every society.

The Amish do all sorts of shady shit. There are many reports of sexual abuse, deaths, murders, that all go un-reported because they basically justify it as gods will. People do escape, much like Mormonism, Jehovah's Witnesses, etc., and they live to the tell the stories.

Here's a story from when I grew up. One day my father and I were watching some TV while dinner was cooking. All of a sudden the lights in the house got really bright. Not just a little bit brighter, but a lot brighter. Pretty soon the bulbs were popping all over the house. Meanwhile the dishwasher started making noises, it was off, but it started beeping and carrying on. Then there was a pop from the TV, the screen went blank, and flames erupted from the back of the TV (cathode ray tube style). My father and I got the TV outside before any fire started, when we came in the house the dishwasher was smoking. Several bulbs around the house outright exploded. My PC, XBOX, and various other electronics all seemingly got zapped, but the power soon went out in total.

It was a few days until we got any word from the power company. They restored the power within like 10 hours, no big deal there. They informed us that somebody from an Amish community cut a tree down and blew a transformer and we as result got like many orders of magnitude more voltage to our home than we should have got. Guess what, the power company was absolved because it wasn't there fault. So they went on their merry way. Some 50 plus homes got zapped, and if we were to look for legal recourse we would have to litigate the Amish. The problem being that there was no record of the Amish cutting the tree down because the community was more than willing to deny it ever happened. So 50 plus homes lost out on their various appliances and items because there's no way to get traction on a case like that.

And for the record, I inspected the power source inside the XBOX and was able to replace a blown capacitor for $.30. That fixed the XBOX. In the mean time I had bought a used XBOX from a friend for $60, and so I ended up with two working XBOX's and got to host awesome Halo 2 parties. I came out ahead on that.

If I was them I wouldn’t feel like it’s my fault. God made that tree fall the wrong way . I’d be wondering what kind of sins you and your dad were committing  to deserve such a thing .

Yah cuz most ppl keep electronics that are expensive like that plugged into power supplies with surge protection. It could have been some puerto Rican or black u think they would have talked to the cops or turned themselves in or something?

I’m not too sure surge protection was a thing back in the day , exact same thing happened to my parents when I was 10 . Lightning struck our house or a pole by our house . My step dad was an asshole , god never liked him too much .

I'm sure surge protectors were around in the early 2000's, but not too many people anticipate a power surge from an Amish person that cut a tree down.

Feel like if you're living in a rural area, you should just expect random power surges. Those networks are pretty underdeveloped, because it's all government money and there's almost no economic incentive to make them any better than "minimal". It's not like the locals have the demand or economic capacity to maintain a power line.

When I lived in a more rural part of Russia, we'd flip the main breaker whenever we left the house for more than a day. That was partly to protect the electronics and partly so that a random ass surge didn't start a fire.

My father has been there for 45 years. He's had two power surges that damaged stuff. The Amish one was the first, the second one the power company fucked something up and they ended up paying for all the stuff they blew up.
