    You are correct in assessing that immigrants assimilate into American culture fairly easily.

    Nice job, Vance and Trump. Now the state is sending State Police to sweep Springfield's schools daily.


    Ohio Governor Sending State Police to Springfield After Rash of Bomb Scares - The New York Times (nytimes.com)


    Gov. Mike DeWine of Ohio announced on Monday that he was deploying state troopers to the beleaguered city of Springfield to reassure the community that schools are safe despite a wave of bomb threats.


    The threats began last week after Donald J. Trump mentioned Springfield during the presidential debate, repeating a baseless rumor that Haitian immigrants in the city were abducting and eating household pets.

    Since then, 33 bomb threats have targeted city schools, most recently on Monday when two elementary schools were evacuated as a result of threats, Governor DeWine said. City Hall and two hospitals have also been targeted.

    At a news conference, Mr. DeWine said that none of the bomb threats so far had “any validity at all.”


    But the threats have shaken the city and disrupted school for thousands of students. The deployment of a contingent of 36 troopers, beginning on Tuesday, is intended to allay anxieties and ensure that students can focus on school.

    “We must take every threat seriously, but children deserve to be in school, and parents deserve to know that their kids are safe,” the governor said. “The added security will help ease some of the fears caused by these hoaxes.”

    Even before Mr. Trump mentioned the rumor during the presidential debate, his running mate, JD Vance, had promoted the rumors about Haitians in Springfield eating pets — claims that city officials have repeatedly refuted.

    Governor DeWine said the troopers would be at 17 school buildings as of Tuesday and would check all school sites before the start of classes and stay on campus throughout the day and after dismissal.

    He said investigators had determined that many of the threats were originating outside the United States.

    Even though most of these bomb threats are hoaxes we still have to act on them given the threats that schools face. The last thing Governor DeWine or anyone else wants to see is not take a threat seriously then actually have an attack on a school.

    Yes.

    Looks like all of them were "hoaxes" though.

    As I said from the beginning, we don't know who made them.

    Might as well have been people interested in pinning blame on Trump/Vance.

    That could be but it doesn’t change that these t weren’t happening before Trump brought up Springfield in the debate.

    And to reiterate it’s a very sad part of our culture that there has been attacks on schools including actual attempts to bomb them. No school administrator or politician wants to risk even the remote possibility that one of those calls might not be real.

    For those wondering in architecture we are actually considering design measures to deal with bombs in designing schools and other public buildings.

    How are we on page 14 of this? JD Vance has admitted he made it up; the media did its job and showed that it isn't real.

    There's a picture of a dude holding a dead goose. Why is Soros preventing journalists from reporting on this?

    Yeah. It's super sad, bad, and unpresidential to make up these kinds of stories.

    But what's also sad after the general populace began laughing at Trump for trying push the lie at the debate, is that all of these Trump supporters including people on this board spent SOOOO MUCH TIME AND EFFORT trying to find anything at all that ppssiblely made it seem like it was true.

    Rather than just admit it was a hilarious lie from a crazy man, or just say "he was wrong about that" they made themselves look silly, foolish, and out of touch by forcing themselves to pretend it was real.
