Greetings,
I am not even Amish and that cartoon in the October 6th edition of The Compass is quite disgusting....There is no appropriate way to create a "cartoon" about 5 girls getting murdered execution style as well as almost getting raped by this insane person. 
Definition of a cartoon:
1. A humorous or satirical drawing. 
2. A drawing completed as a full-scale working drawing, usually for a fresco painting, mural, or tapestry.
Is it humorous to portray the killing of 5 young Amish women?

Tom,
This cartoon was not intended to be funny. A Political Cartoon is defined by the Wikipedia as an illustration or comic strip containing a political or social message. According to the cartoonist, it was meant to be a commentary on the horror of the act, thus the caption Why? Many editorial cartoonists express the shock, horror, or sympathy they feel when tragedy strikes in instances such as this one. According to Ron, As a father and a fellow Christian it was my humble way of sympathizing and expressing what the poor families of the Amish community were feeling..
