    Perhaps you should catch a Greyhound to Ohio and investigate for yourself, gumshoe.

    Good luck, we're all counting on you.

    Care to give a different plausible explanation for what that picture shows? Yea, I didn't think so.

    Have you head the line "extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence".

    "Hatian immigrants are frequently hunting park geese".

    That is an extraordinary claim. The onus is on the claimant to provide evidence of said claim. The absence of evidence means that claim is bunk.

    Otherwise people can just create blood libel claims about any group of humans without an iota of evidence and ask people "prove me wrong bro". "Prove me wrong that Catholics don't suck the blood of babies!"

    So now we have reporting that denies any instances of this, we can look at this image as a random dude holding dead geese and nothing more. Are you one of those type of people who say stuff like 'i don't see color". Well apply it here. Just think of it as a random image of a random dude holding a dead animal. You can find hundreds and thousands of photos like this online from people of all races. Hell I'm sure rfk got some images of holding Roadkill on a suburban street.

    Wait.... Are you saying that the image's only explanation is that Haitian migrants are stealing and killing park geese?

    Why does this one man represent all Hatians?

    Yes you are saying it MIGHT be because you heard of a narrative online that Hatians are doing this and at rising this image to make the question open ended that MAYBE it's happening.

    But there are no reported incidents of it happening by official investigations.

    So again, you are using a single image to prop up the possibility that the narrative that Hatians plural in America are hunting park geese might be plausible.

    No evidence of something occurring doesn't mean it didn't occur.

    There's no evidence of what my grandfather ate for lunch on October 5, 1945 - doesn't mean he didn't eat anything for lunch that day.

    If I saw a photo of an un-uniformed random looking civilian holding two dead fully feathered geese in an urban/suburban environment in Ohio - I'd come to the conclusion they likely killed to park geese absent some other explanation.

    There is no evidence that you are a pedo but can we be sure?

    There could be another explanation... I've asked you provide one that is plausible. You have declined.

    So this is evidence of possibly a man killing park geese.

    What does this have to do with the Hatian migrant community at large?

    Part of bigotry is confirming racist narratives based on a single example of an individual doing something

    A plausible explanation is this one man killed a goose in a suburban neighborhood.


    Are you going to draw anything further than that?

    I bet you say **** like "I don't see color" unironically.

    Are there not multiple geese in that picture?

    Is it not plausible that man is a Haitian migrant?

    The "reported" Hatians are in Springfield. This picture is from Columbus. A guy just took a picture. There is no explanation. Look at a map. Springfield is not Columbus.

    He is deporting the Hatians in Springfield to Venzuela?

    A man who has taxidermy as a hobby saw some fresh roadkill and an opportunity.

    If he was a Hatian immigrant, is he the last messenger of Hatian immigrants like projet Muhammad for Muslims, the last prophet where his lone actions must be emulated by other Hatians as part of their culture?

    I have no clue who this dude is. It's a single picture of a single man. For any claim so it an entire immigrant group having an aspect of their culture hunting park geese in America, you need data. And we don't even have data because we don't even have a single instance of a confirmed instance of it happening so now all you are doing is finding a random picture of a black man with geese and are asking "is this proof Hatian immigrants hunt park geese"?

    .it's proof that this one man is holding dead geese in his hands. That all it is.

    There are probably some Haitian migrants in Columbus as well.

    Not particularly plausible to me but you can go ahead and believe that if you like.

    At first it was "I love hard working immigrants. I just what they to come here legally".

    Now it's about deporting a group of legal immigrants who the local business community and manufacturing community in Springfield love because they are hard working immigrants with little to no drug problems like the local native population.

    So i guess hard working legal immigrants are still the enemy of the GOP.
