the origin of the “Haitians eating pets” hoax revealed

Those are “fine people”

 

So now we find out it was roadkill geese in Columbus. However, this is unacceptable, but dead whales and bears are.

 

I remember another actor/President preaching the same **** which ****ed up the poor and middle class. Now we have an orange racist actor/ex-President doubling down.

 

No. We're still at number 1.

 

For the sake of discussion, let's set aside any disagreements about the accuracy of the numbers and assessments you've presented.

My main question still stands: Could you provide specific examples of policies or actions Trump has proposed to assist Americans who are struggling financially, particularly with paying bills, rent, or purchasing homes?

 

The woman who started the rumor is stepping back like a confirmed Harden travel.

'It just exploded': Springfield woman claims she never meant to spark false rumors about Haitians

SPRINGFIELD, Ohio — The woman behind an early Facebook post spreading a harmful and baseless claim about Haitian immigrants eating local pets that helped thrust a small Ohio city into the national spotlight says she had no firsthand knowledge of any such incident and is now filled with regret and fear as a result of the ensuing fallout.

“It just exploded into something I didn’t mean to happen,” Erika Lee, a Springfield resident, told NBC News on Friday.

Lee recently posted on Facebook about a neighbor’s cat that went missing, adding that the neighbor told Lee she thought the cat was the victim of an attack by her Haitian neighbors.

Newsguard, a media watchdog that monitors for misinformation online, found that Lee had been among the first people to publish a post to social media about the rumor, screenshots of which circulated online. The neighbor, Kimberly Newton, said she heard about the attack from a third party, NewsGuard reported.

Newton told Newsguard that Lee’s Facebook post misstated her story, and that the owner of the missing cat was “an acquaintance of a friend” rather than her daughter’s friend. Newton could not be reached for comment.

Lee said she had no idea the post would become part of a rumor mill that would spiral into the national consciousness. She has since deleted the Facebook post.

Other posts have also contributed to the false allegations, including a photo of a man holding a dead goose that was taken in Columbus, Ohio, but was spread by some online as evidence of the claims about Springfield. Graphic video of a woman who allegedly killed and tried to eat a cat was also found not to have originated in Springfield but in Canton, Ohio, and does not have any connection to the Haitian community.

Local police and city officials have repeatedly said there is no evidence of such crimes in Springfield, but that hasn’t stopped the lies from spreading across the country and igniting a national frenzy that landed on the presidential debate stage this week. Former President Donald Trump and his running mate Ohio Sen. JD Vance, who was born less than an hour away from Springfield, have repeated the baseless allegations.

Lee said she never imagined her post would become fodder for conspiracy theories and hate.

“I’m not a racist,” she said through heavy emotion, adding that her daughter is half Black and she herself is mixed race and a member of the LGBTQ community. “Everybody seems to be turning it into that, and that was not my intent.”

The anti-immigrant fervor in Springfield led to school and municipal building closures on Thursday and Friday after city officials received bomb threats.

Lee said she pulled her daughter out of school and is now worried about her safety with so much attention on her family. She is also concerned for the safety of the Haitian community, which she said she did not intend to villainize en masse.

“I feel for the Haitian community,” she said. “If I was in the Haitians’ position, I’d be terrified, too, worried that somebody’s going to come after me because they think I’m hurting something that they love and that, again, that’s not what I was trying to do.”

Immigrant advocacy groups have said these kinds of claims can be dangerous.

“The Haitian-American community in Springfield, OH and around the country is feeling targeted and unsafe because dehumanizing, debunked and racist conspiracies are being advanced at the highest levels of American politics and are still being repeated,” Vanessa Cárdenas, executive director of America's Voice, a nonprofit that advocates for immigration reform said in an email. “The false claim that Black immigrants are violently attacking American families by stealing and eating their pets is a powerful and old racist trope that puts a target on people’s backs, and it is turbo-charged in the era of MAGA when political violence has become commonplace and we have already witnessed violent incidents incited by such rhetoric.”

Lee said that there are very real problems related to Springfield's population boom that caught the struggling city off guard. Springfield was not prepared to address the housing, health care and other service needs that came with the sudden increase of new residents over the last five years when Haitians arrived, many of them with protected status under federal law.

Still, she never imagined that her Facebook post would set off a national news cycle.

“I didn’t think it would ever get past Springfield," she said.
​

Trump stans and Independent Thinking X-Regulars are squeezing a lot of Thought and Prayer into this.

Maybe their fever pitch dreams can turn lies into reality, but what is real right now is the living hell imposed on Haitian immigrants after being welcomed to America from a devastated Haiti.

 

Well when he was El Presidente people didn't have that issue.

 

Bears eat cats.

 

Samuel?

Lol @ Budinger met that dude at a club in midtown (back when he was playing for the Rockets), he was with Shane Battier, took few shots with 'em, they were both cool af.

 

Again, for the sake of discussion, let's set aside any disagreements about the accuracy of that assessments you've presented.

My main question still stands: Could you provide specific examples of policies or actions Trump has proposed to assist Americans who are struggling financially, particularly with paying bills, rent, or purchasing homes?

 

Yes MAGA

 

At this point, if you're still trolling. You're part of the problem and contributing to the danger.

 

Probably also just a hoax that the most powerful gang leader of Haiti (and possibly the most powerful person in Haiti currently) is called "Barbecue" and that there are reports of him having that nickname because of burning people alive and cannibalism.

Classic Russian and MAGA misinformation. All of this never happened.

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.

Haiti, a Caribbean country, has plunged into chaos due to gang warfare. The US has airlifted non-essential staff from its embassy and the country has declared a state of emergency. On Tuesday, Prime Minister Ariel Henry, stranded outside the country, resigned.

This comes after gangs attacked airports, police stations and prisons. Thousands of jail inmates have fled too.

Jimmy Cherizier, popular as 'Babekyou' or 'Barbecue', is the leader of the notorious 'G9 and Family' gang and is now the most powerful man in Haiti, reports the New York Post.

It is said that Cherizier began being called 'Barbecue' because of his penchant of burning people alive.

Amid the rise of 'Barbecue', a video has emerged that shows a member of a 'cannibal' gang eating human body parts.

The video on X shows a Haitian man tearing flesh from the leg of a burning corpse and eating it.

Some of the videos uploaded on X have been removed now. There are reports that the videos are two-year old.

The latest round of chaos led by 'Barbecue' is an attempt to overthrow Prime Minister Ariel Henry and intensified after he left for a summit last week. He had gone to Kenya to secure the leadership of a UN-backed international security mission to help police fight armed gangs in Haiti.

The prime minister attempted to fly back but couldn't land there amid gunbattles as government soldiers tried to foil the gang member's bid to take over the international airport.


PM Henry could not land in the Haitian capital because its international airport was closed as soldiers repelled attempts by gunmen to seize it.

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."

Multiple videos have emerged showing the chaos in Haiti. In one people are screaming and running for their lives as gunfire from automatic rifles are heard nearby.

"Here is disturbing footage of the Haitian cannibal gang eating body parts of one of their victims as he cooks in the fire. The Haiti Cannibal Gang leader is named ‘Barbecue’ and is now the most powerful man in Haiti after their Prime Minster Ariel Henry fled," a post on X said. The video accompanying it had been deleted.


Reacting to the video and post, El Salvador President Nayib Bukele said that similar visuals were seen in his country and the gangs in Haiti needed to be eradicated.

"We saw similar images in El Salvador a few years ago. Gangs bathing with the skulls of their victims. All the 'experts' said they couldn’t be defeated, because they were an 'intrinsic part of our society'. They were wrong. We obliterated them. The same must be done in Haiti," El Salvador President Nayib Bukele posted.

WHO IS HAITI GANG LEADER 'BARBECUE'
Jimmy Cherizier, popular as 'Barbecue', is a 47-year-old rifle-toting former police officer.

He was sacked from Haiti's police force in 2018 because of his role in slum murders and rapes.

Cherizier was removed from the police force for his alleged ties to a number of horrific crimes, including the slaughter in the La Saline slums where 71 people were killed, seven women were raped, and 400 homes were burned down, The New York Post reported, citing official reports.

Cherizier denied any wrongdoing and started his active gang journey. He took over the 'G9 and Family', which controls the slums and streets of Haiti's capital, Port-au-Prince.

A section of the people see him as a Robinhood and revolutionary.

Cherizier enjoys his ganglord status and has welcomed the international press regularly to apprise the world of his growing clout.

“I’m not a thief. I’m not involved in the kidnapping. I’m not a rapist. I’m just carrying out a social fight,” Cherizier told news agency Associated Press earlier.

The gang leader said that it was his mother's occupation of selling fried chicken that earned him the 'Barbecue' moniker. Though, not many believe this version.

Amid the resignation of PM Henry, regional leaders met in Jamaica to discuss the framework for a political transition.

Cherizier, who is known as 'Barbecue' for setting people on fire, might go on to capture power in Haiti.

 

Tell the neighbor's neighbor to have the olive report published. Local towns have blodders.


This stuff is a new low for you. This isn't trolling anymore. You are contributing to the harassment and targeted hate of a minority groups. There isn't any more respectability cordial conversion here. You need to ****ing stop.

 

The entire cannibalism trope has been used my European colonizers for centuries towards Africans by the way with almost all of the claims being fairy tales or mistranslations of text but it helped give justification for said colonialism and conquest.
