I have to admit, when I first heard of the show, it never really occurred to me that there would be people who believed it to be factually correct. I hope those people do find this article though and realize that there is no Amish mafia and the people portrayed are as Amish as you and I.

They are real people re-enacting supposed true stories. I think it’s entertaining and realize it’s staged. What concerns me is outside of the Lancaster area, people will actually believe there is a mafia and seek them out in a hateful manner. Semi-automatic guns, drugs, drinking, prostitution, fist-fighting and more are portrayed as part of these real peoples lives when the reality is….it’s all fake.
