Amish Mafia

[rebelvol]

Anyone watching this. I find it interesting maybe not entertaining, lol. Looks staged like most shows now days.

This has got to be staged, and I don't find these guys anywhere near as intimidating as the real mafia. I would laugh at these guys if they showed up at my door.

Don't let Levi find this out.

I think Discovery said the show are reenactments of real events.

I hope so. This show is so bad that I can't stop watching.

I don't even buy that they are re enactments. I tried to get interested in it, but it's just too fake.

To commit racketeering on national tv is pretty brave if the show is legit.

 

[pa136761]

I can't remember one scene that was believable. I will take their green corn though.

Careful now.

This sure isn't Southern Fried Stings

Its pretty obviously staged. Tried to watch it and just so bad I couldnt do it. Made it through 2 shows

It is a totally made up show. I've been around the Amish and the Mennonites a whole lot in northern Indiana, Holme County, Ohio, and Lancaster, PA. The power holders in those worlds are the Bishops and elders who are more powerful than any mafia could ever be in their communities.

Saw some last night and came across this while wondering how fake it is.

'Amish Mafia' presence is felt by shop owners, others in Lancaster, Pa - Morning Call

Stores in Lancaster, PA have tshirts and hats that say "I <3 Intercourse." Is that related to the show?

Also, it's completely staged and says so in the credits. I hate how Discovery has gone the way of every other "educational" channel.

 

[Toujours Pret]

Intercourse is a village in Lancaster Country.

So Merlin and Levi aren't really badasses?

I can't find the article right now but there was another one from a store owner depicted on the show who said he was not protected by Levi as shown on the show.

This article I posted last week sounds like what you're talking about.

This show is beyond terrible.

I lived close to Lancaster for 4 years and NEVER saw or heard of any of this stuff. The Amish community is a very close knit group and these people would be banned from the community. No.way this guy would get away with driving a Cadillac and providing booze to minors
