Four underage Amish men were arrested by authorities for drink driving in Michigan over the weekend after they were spotted throwing beer cans off the side of the horse and buggy they were riding.

The foursome – consisting of two 19-year-olds and two 20-year-olds – were first spotted in Beaverton Township, Gladwin County, at around 4pm on Sunday by a concerned motorist who believed they were heavily intoxicated.

According to the witness, each of them men were seen guzzling down beer and then discarding their empty cans onto the road.

horrifying! I'm sure they'll be the gossip of the community, and the bud of every joke for some time to come.

I’m pretty sure the horse hadn’t been drinking. Notice how they didn’t say the horse had been charged.

But littering, yeah pretty bad.

Amish midwives. Probably something to look for when you’re expecting.

"Dat's da Rumspringa, donchaknow. Ya gotta let 'em get it outta der system." -- anonymous Amish lady I saw in Costco shaking her head in embarrassment while she tried to explain to us English why some Amish boys were having office chair races down the aisles and nobody in their group was saying a word.

Teenage rebellion is one thing, but the dark side of Amish life is just as bad as anything Mo'ism fosters.

They look like they could be the offensive front line of a Division I football team. Can't charge them with a DUI, since it wasn't a "motor" vehicle - wrong kind of horse power.

I hope there will not be any amish drive-by shootings.

Not a chance. They only do that in Malmo.

They were not driving. They were traveling.

Operating a (motor) vehicle varies greatly from state to state. For example, a lawn mower may not be a "vehicle" in a state, whereas a farm tractor is--depending upon its engine size.

In my state, the boys would not have been charged with drunk driving. Minors in possession of alcohol, littering, breach of the peace, sure--but not DUI. (Our legal term is "Operating Under the Influence," "OUI").

Our transit authority has an interesting policy. If a bus driver loses his license or CDL certification, they take him off buses and have him drive trolleys, which require a completely separate certification system. So he can be a full-fledged alkie, and still keep working. Pretty decent gig--except for public safety.

Having looked into it a bit, it strikes me as not so much a sovtard issue but a "sovereign citizen" type of mentality. You know, the people with websites that "instruct" you how to skip paying income taxes because they're "unconstitutional."
