It could happen to someone else, but why?

OK - so I go to the store today to pick up some supplies for cookie baking. I went to Aldi's in Johnstown and surprisingly it went well - no one stood in my way, no one butted in front of me or parked in the middle of the aisle reading the contents while I tapped my foot impatiently and sighed. The cashier was super friendly and quick. Just when I thought it would be my first visit to that store that went my way...Yeah. RUNAWAY AMISH HORSE AND BUGGY!!!!!

It was pretty frightening - I saw the horse and the man come through the parking lot in my rear view mirror and I could tell it wasn't going to be good. I opened the door, grabbing my cell phone to call 911 and then got back in my car just in time to not be hit by the whole shibang. The horse turned, the buggy toppled over on it's side and the whole thing went over the poor guys leg. I got out of the car (leaving it running, with the door wide open and a satchel of cash in my purse) and started running towards the horse and buggy, which was headed up the parking lot directly into 10 a.m. Saturday traffic on 30A. Thank God the horse got his leg caught in the rope and the rope was under the axle of the buggy or this wouldn't have ended well at all.

Are Amish allowed to speak Non-Amish people? Neither the man nor the girl with him would speak to me. I had the horses halter and so did the girl. The horse had his front leg through the rope which was tied to the front of the carriage and then fastened to his halter. Why, I don't know. So the girl is trying to hold the horse and untie the rope which was pulled so tight you couldn't budge it. I told her to hold the horse and let me get the rope - asked the guy for a knife - no response. Asked the guy if he needed a doctor - no response. Told him to give me a fucking knife (they must respond to vulgarity because he pulled one out of his pocket) and cut the rope from the cart. Then we couldn't get the horse to move because he was frightened and the carriage was buried in the snow bank. Finally the man pulled him forward enough to move and got him into the parking lot and we pulled the buggy up behind him. They wouldn't let me help after that - Just kept telling me they could take it from there.

This all happened in the middle of the parking lot entrance to Aldi's on the shoulder of 30A at 10 a.m. on a Saturday morning at Christmas time. DO YOU THINK ANYONE STOPPED TO HELP? No, they didn't. Shameful.

After returning the flour they lost out of the buggy to them and making sure the license plate I found with the flour wasn't theirs (I actually asked them if they had to register the buggy with DMV, what was I thinking?) we went our separate ways. I cleaned off the license plate on the back of the truck parked next to my car and sure 'nuf, he was missing the front one. I didn't bother to go back in the store to explain the situation to "the customer driving the grey Dodge Dakota" - I just put it next to their driver's side door and drove away.

I am not sure if I should have called the police to report a hit and run or not...
