Refer to my four step process above. There is clearly smoke in Springfield. I’d be willing to bet it’s not all fake.
Now let’s use critical thinking and think about who has interests to protect. Do all those people making calls have a strong reason to lie? Are all the city council meetings fake?
If you don’t think those are all fake, could it be that city officials have a reason to try to keep this under wraps?
If we bring 20,000 Haitian refugees to a Midwestern city is it that crazy if they bring their culture with them??
Who’s the crazy one here?
There was a story about a group of people in NY that were cutting off the heads of birds as part of some cultural ritual. It’s not that hard to believe.
You aren’t at all. Reuters has people on staff to look into stuff. They looked into it. They also interview public officials. You didn’t do any of that.
Yeah, and most of it was complete garbage, like the video of the girl saying her mom saw a facebook post about a van.
Lol, you come on here TRUMP VINDICATED and post a bunch of lies, but that’s okay because some of it wasn’t a lie?
GTFOOH with your dishonest hacky partisan shilling.
I said the same thing. I bet there are some actual problems, for sure, just like there are actual problems with everything in real life. 20k is a huge adjustment for that town. On one hand, the city was dying and needed an influx of people. Nobody was willing to go but these Haitian immigrants. Employers are happy to have them. But sure, I believe it’s a huge adjustment.
Literally everybody.
But here’s the thing. If someone caught their Haitian neighbor eating their cat, there would be a fucking police report. Don’t lie to yourself. This was not a public issue at the time. Responding police officers would have had no reason not to document it. THERE WOULD BE A RECORD IF THIS HAPPENED.
All the media and political fallout came after. First would have been the incidents and the reactions.
Yes this stuff happens all the time. Voodoo, hoodoo, and to bring it to Miami, Santeria. I never heard of Hindu related stuff so it’s an interesting link.
Spoken like someone with no shame. The opposite is true, even if 1 video was retarded propaganda for old people, then you’re the one who made the mistake.
You got duped. Don’t be made about it, just learn.
Ok, I found the video of the TikTok “influencer” in red somewhere else.
Guy in red was mostly complaining about Haitians hitting garbage cans and buildings. He’s talking traffic mostly. He did say “They up here killing ducks” or something, but he never said he saw that. It sounds like hearsay, but maybe it isn’t. Maybe he saw it. Maybe he’s lying for views.
But either way, I think I said up in the thread that that part is conceivable, but we don’t know much.
What we do know is there’s a huge influx of immigrants and it’s tough. This isn’t new info. The New York Times wrote a big article about it. So yes, it’s a known problem.
But at least most of us in this thread agree that Trump handled it like an idiot in the debate. I already posted what I think he should’ve said, and it did include a reference to eating cats for shock value, but he’s too dumb to do that.
This is the type of stuff that’s happening in Europe. If you look at the UK and Germany in particular, you will see stories where the immigrants are not assimilating, committing crimes and the police are covering it up and arresting people that speak out against it.
Remember, in much of Europe, there is no freedom of speech, no First Amendment. The government in England gives harsher sentences for what they deem hate speech in a lot of cases (anyone speaking out against the flood of immigrants) than they do those committing the crimes.
That could be a foreshadowing of what’s to come for the U.S.
Absolutely, TPS immigrants are legal. That is true.
My understanding is that Springfield was dying and no one was taking the jobs of multiple new factories in the area and that the employers wanted bodies bussed in to fill those roles. My understanding was that the immigrants are supposed to help revitalize the town.
That said, sure, the city council meeting has concerned residents complaining mostly about traffic, but also rude behavior in grocery stores, and homelessness, and general safety woes, and language issues, and city resources. These aren’t all necessarily 100% Haitian issues, but I hear them. They have valid concerns.
This TikToker in red is Anthony Harris. He’s a youtube comedian and he’s running for mayor! You could see it right there on his shirt. Here’s a link about possibly Haitian car crashes.
Anyway, I’m not sure if he’s really running for mayor or it’s a comedy skit or what, but I wouldn’t take what he says as gold.
At the whole city council meeting, I think he was the only one with ONE offhand mention of Haitians eating animals. He was mostly talking about car accidents.
I WILL say this: dude didn’t see anyone kill ducks in a park. If a YouTuber saw that, he’d whip out his phone and record the aftermath. Someone like this, we all know this is true.
The part of the city council meeting GSC doesn’t want you to see…
Or the quotes from town residents:
“The Haitian community is here, they’re going to be here. They’re going to start businesses here. We do have an issue with the driving. That can be fixed,” said James Steward. “We do have issues with the violent crime and it’s not being committed by the Haitians.”
“All of those rumors… we knew about it that day. We just saw it on social media. That’s all we knew about it also,” she said.
