LONG HAIR A CRIME

     LATimes- Seven members from a splinter cult-like Amish group from Bergholz, Ohio recently may face life imprisonment  for assaulting other Amish males by giving unwanted haircuts to those who have married. Such acts, according to Amish religion, are regarded as especially "heinous".  FBI agents conducted the haircut raid, and those committing  the crimes have been charged and face sentences of as much as life imprisonment. Removing men's beards and women's hair after marriage is prohibited by the conventional Amish.
