So how many cats would you say you've eaten or have seen being eaten?

If you can't tell this is sarcasm

I occasionally listen to right wing talk radio, because of how insane it can be sometimes.

Even they were saying there was no evidence that immigrants were stealing pets to eat them.

The same two images keep getting recirculated through local Facebook groups, both of which have been debunked. People get big mad when called out on their racist shit, but this is a racist-ass town

Springfield is in western Ohio. We are about 20 minutes from Dayton, 50 minutes from Columbus, and 2+ hours from Cleveland/Akron. About 80 minutes to Cincinnati

Do you ever get annoyed that the nation is basically ignoring what's going on in Columbus and focusing on weird rumors about your town?

For context, in Columbus they had a huge data breach/ransomware attack that contained personal information for a shitload of citizens as well as police files on both officers, even undercover officers and victims. The city has tried to keep it quiet and minimize it and they are currently suing a security specialist because he told the news they were lying about the severity and had proof.

I've seen those claims as well. I don't know how one would verify that. There are rumors that the person who is in charge of local immigration also owns properties that he is using to rent to the Haitians. Impossible to separate fact from fiction (outside some of the obviously debunked nonsense)

Is there actually a problem? Like has there been an uptick in crime or even as they say, STD and TB infections?

I feel like if there is a problem, making a meme about it will make people just ignore it, doing the opposite of what Vance wants. That's why honesty works, crying wolf does not.

Immigrants commit fewer crimes than natives, so of course crime didn't go up.

So was the one solitary report of geese being taken from the park for food actually a Haitian immigrant family or a natural born citizen?

Ive heard so many conflicting reports. Either way, still a stupid thing to bring up during a presidential debate. Park geese arent pets and are a common food source here in the states.

so failure at local level but they blame Biden and think Trump will fix it?

it is actually comically stupid how these people think

"these immigrants are given SOO much $$, much more than any of us!!!"

and yet they have to...steal geese....and cats....to eat?

pretty sure if you got paid well you are going to a restaurant which is what the Haitians say in the video "no we get meat at Walmart"

It's all stupid. They are also given TPS which means they aren't illegal.

that is the problem

these type people see a dumb post on FB and believe it %1000

I know this because my mom is this type of person, she tells me the dumbest stuff and I ask her where she read\heard it, "oh the news.."
oh really? what news...
"just the news"
you saw it from FB right?
she then tries to avoid the question because I have told her time and time again it is just anyone posting whatever

Creating a race riot out of nothing is one of the few things Republicans can do to try to get Cheeto Benito back in office. I'd really hate to be at ground zero of any such attempt.

Yes, though you wouldn't know it depending on where you live. I drive around, go to the store, gas station, restaurants, etc. and rarely seen any. My wife sees some at the gym (but says they are super nice). The exact number is probably far less than the 20,000 people claim (just like the number of immigrants in the country is far fewer than the 20million Trump claims)
