Girl Asked To Be Shot First

[dgridley]

I know this has already been discussed in another thread but I feel this new info deserves some separate recognition for this girl's courage and selflessness..

"One of the girls who died in Pennsylvania's Amish schoolhouse massacre asked the killer to shoot her first in an apparent bid to save younger girls, a woman who spoke to the victim's family said on Friday.

Rita Rhoads, a nurse-midwife who delivered 13-year-old Marian Fisher as well as another victim, said Fisher appealed to Charles Carl Roberts to shoot her first because she thought it might allow younger girls to survive."

This group of quiet people have sure demonstrated a conviction and sense of values that the rest of us can admire. They truly practice what they believe and I have a tremendous respect for what they do..
