That’s my question, too. How does a shutdown suddenly give the reavers more power to destroy? I mean, they’re already tanking everything.

I’m not west Texas Mennonite, so I couldn’t say with authority. Both Amish and Mennonite are Anabaptist, but Mennonites don’t eschew electricity, cars, and technology.

The Mennonite families I’ve known were rural and lived in a more humble fashion with a hard-working ethic reminiscent of 1950’s USA. They were also inclusive, so they probably would embrace biker metalheads.

The report states that this was a “school-age child”. Because the outbreak is primarily in rural west Texas Mennonite families, the child was likely homeschooled and with parents who, while not opposed to vaccines, are on the fundamental side of religion. Mennonite is like Amish-lite.

I believe this may have been a combination of poor education, jesus stuff, and misplaced faith in isolation.

We’re being too harsh on Sheriff Bob Norris. This poor guy spent 20 years at the LA County Sheriff’s Department, practicing Compton justice before moving to Idaho. He has only had 4 years as sheriff to hone his hatred of women, and is under the strain of a defamation lawsuit for pointing at a local woman and accusing her of giving blowjobs and photographing child pornography at the library.
