Colour me facially haired confused.

A GROUP of Amish men is being investigated for allegedly breaking into Ohio family homes and chopping their victims' hair and beards off, The Wheeling Intelligencer reports.


The Amish hair-cutting gang is being investigated by four different sheriff departments in Ohio. They face charges of burglary and felonious assault.

The group refers to itself as part of the Bergholz clan, a nearby Amish community led by bishop Sam Mullet, which was the subject of a disputed child custody raid in 2007 amid allegations of sexual abuse.
The spate of attacks began around three weeks ago and targeted other Amish community members, the newspaper said.
One of the victims in Holmes County described how the gang of between 20 to 30 men dragged him from his house by his beard.
Holmes County sheriff Timothy Zimmerly told reporters the victims also included a 13-year-old girl and a 74-year-old man.

I've heard of bearded ladies being trotted out by Barnum and Bailey, but I thought they were somewhat older than 13. Most 13 year old boys would be pushing to disport facial hair.  

Comments:
well I did laugh when I got to 'Mullett', but, as is frequently opined, only in America; which was founded by the religious malcontents whose boat got them to Plymouth Rock.
 
I know of a bearded lady. She would be about 60. I think she would have been hairsuit at 13. Not too much later, I am sure she developed a pair of hangers between her legs.
 
'Where do women grow beards"?

Answer, "Honolulu".
