2 elementary schools in Springfield evacuated today because of Donold

Oops. The bomb threats are hoaxes coming from overseas.
The schools have to treat bomb threats as if they were deadly serious, so whether or not it's a hoax makes no difference. Probably 99% of the bomb threats are hoaxes.

We had one at my high school, but I think one of my classmates was trying to get our history exam postponed. It didn't work but it did shorten the amount of time we had.

So are we saying that all these threats would have come in anyway if Trump and his running mate had not been talking about it so publicly?

Springfield has canceled its annual Culturefest due to terrorist threats triggered by Donold.

Donold is a threat to Americans and democracy.

The DR has a wall up between it and Haiti. Witchcraft is the dominant religion, which includes animal sacrifice.

Didn't realize that you were appointed to speak on behalf of all residents of the territory.

I had previously assumed your appointed authority and wisdom were limited to speak on the motives and thoughts of every white and black person in America, but apparently, based on your outsized impact, you have been authorized to speak on behalf of people of Dominican Republic.

How can any progressive challenge your wise statements on skin color and how that defines how everyone thinks? The progressives are too busy fighting the good fight against racists Republicans. Because, you know, they really hate racism.

We all knew it was a lie that the MAGAt bigots were only upset about illegal immigrants and that legal immigrants were fine. Now we have MAGAts scapegoating and terrorizing a whole community of legal immigrants in Springfield.

India Today: A 'cannibal' gang and its 'Barbecue' leader push Haiti into chaos
Haiti has descended into chaos and its Prime Minister has resigned. A gang leader, Jimmy Cherizier, who projects himself as a revolutionary, has become the most powerful person in Haiti. Cherizier is known as 'Barbecue' for burning people alive.

"VIOLENCE AND CANNIBALISM ON HAITI STREETS?
Cannibalism has been witnessed on the streets as the violence in Haiti reaches unprecedented levels, The Daily Express US quoted a journalist on the ground as saying.

"We have seen images of gang leaders eating people they have killed. We have seen images of people being tortured when they are kidnapped," the journalist said from Haiti on condition of anonymity. The journalist said the violence and gore were "to paralyze people mentally".

"After the interview, the journalist sent a message to The Daily Express US and said, "Cannibalism is not widespread, but definitely an indication of the worsening situation. It definitely happens on a few occasions." "

Well, if it is a known fact that every people of a skin color thinks the way you generalize, who am I to challenge that fact?

As noted before, I'm sure that racial identity is a factor, but also: after the Haitians succeeded in their slave revolt, they also set about trying to colonize the Spanish half of the island in a fairly brutal invasion. That was eventually resolved with a Dominican revolution and war for independence, resulting in the current split. (It's not only white people who do colonization and wars of conquest.)

That was clear. Thanks for educating the rest of us. We are all better for it.

My only contribution to this discussion is the empty shuttle bus in the DR between our walled resort and the airport. We chatted with the shuttle driver. I commented on the hard work in the sugar fields we were passing. The shuttle driver said "oh, Haitians do that work".

My partner witnessed something odd in our resort there. She witnessed a shift change, and as the maids and help exited the main guest area and walked down a path, there appeared to be a small gauntlet of men on either side watching them closely. Nobody was talking.

It appeared as if most staff were Dominican, some chefs were American and from elsewhere - first professional jobs.

This was a pretty average to midrange property, but most of the staff had beautiful dental work, and many newer staff had braces. Interesting strategy.

At the airport, there was a small mob of cab drivers trying to get fares. I would have liked to go to the local city / village.

New York Post: Police taped radio call

"A Springfield, Ohio, resident on his way to work called 911 to report spotting four Haitian migrants snatching geese near a city park just two weeks ago, according to a newly revealed recording."



If those damned Canada Geese are actually good eatin', we could use a few hundred immigrants out here in Oakland to clean up Lake Merritt and Montclair parks. In addition to a permit, we could pay 'em a dollar a goose, bounty!

I always tell 'em, "Hey stupid, Oakland isn't part of Canada!" and they just look at me with that blank stare... some of 'em honk.

This is a kind of an upside down narrative aligned with the colonial goals and perspectives that have actively kept Haiti down for many decades. Jimmy Cherizier is a former anti-gang cop who resigned from a corrupt structure and became a local leader who is trying to clamp down on gang violence and the policy of promoting chaos funded by local oligarchs tied with foreign interests. Cherizier's group is called "Vivre Ensemble", french for "live together in peace".

His nickname "Barbecue" comes from his family occupation, they used to run a grilled meat street stall, not from gruesome cannibalism. Cherizier is actively disrupting US/French policy of keeping Haiti as a globalist neoliberal plantation led by local oligarchs, hence the smear campaign against him.

Dan Cohen from Mintpress News has done a very good job reporting on the situation in Haiti:

So where's the photographic evidence? Witness statements? Police report? Animal control would've filed a report. Was an investigation conducted? Hearsay and rumors aren't proof. What if these people giving the CM this information are racists and trying to start trouble?

Is this the same city manager who later said there was no credible evidence of people eating pets in Springfield?

Could it be that he got the complaints but could never find the evidence to support them?

I believe he felt the evidence wasn't strong enough to escalate the issue.

I guess 20,000 Haitians came to this small town and decided to ALL simultaneously renounce their native religion - vodoo?

I also don't think there are 20,000 immigrants there. That number seems to have been pulled out of thin air.

Well, we've got one instance (posted above) of some woman filing a police report about her cat being stolen by Haitians, and when they investigated they found the cat alive in her basement. My guess is that any other investigations wound up like that, meaning: no credible evidence. People just saying stuff (especially if there have been internet rumors ginning up the issue) is not evidence.

I heard it was more like 5,000.

What about the a-goose-is-maybe-a-cat factor, which I believe you were mentioning? Is that not credible evidence?

Seems like a good reason to LEAVE HAITI.
