You may want to specify what the lie was next time...?
Probably something regarding Catholic Charities, but
I consider them to be one of the most cold hearted, evil organizations
in the world so am not rushing to their defense.

Which ones. They're eating pets. Haitians eat cats. They eat mud cakes, they'll eat humans. You know this

LOL, let them campaign on 'it's all lies that Haitians are doing bad things to animals, only to people.'



Christians must support Kamala. Oh, and infanticide is fake. Never happens. Well, ok, maybe 277 or more times, but otherwise.

I apologize if I commingled Columbus and Springfield Ohio in my post. Let me know if you are accusing me of lying about something specifically about Haitians in Ohio. I forget, aren't you the poster who claims to teach kids in college about Karl Marx' impact on contract law, or am I misremembering that?

Yes, the claims that Haitians are eating pets is a lie and the claim that a "Haitian illegal immigrant" killed that kid is a lie and the parents are furious about how people like you have been politicizing that tragedy.

So Haitians as individuals will always eat cats, mud, and are all cannibals. You realize how sick you sound right now?

On camera:


The kid's parent/dad didn't deny his son was killed by a Haitian (the facts of the wreck are easily obtainable/not in question), he is just so wrecked by it emotionally he is lashing out at Republicans. That's tragic, but your denial of it is pretty pathetic.



Other cases of Haitians killing Ohioans:


Anything else you are lying about today?

The higher risk of accidents/unsafe conditions are impacting how people commute, live, shop, and work in the area. Skyrocketing auto insurance rates, many public testimonials abound.
Quote:

The liberal media deny news about this, but videos of outrage by longtime residents have gone viral on X and TikTok. Most Haitians do not know how to drive, so car accidents in this small town have caused car insurance rates to skyrocket for everyone who lives there.
There are videos of residents complaining about pets disappearing, presumably taken for food by these migrants, who reportedly also decapitate ducks in the local park. Grocery store items are being opened up and consumed right off the shelves.
A 95-pound elderly woman testified at a public hearing, which is available on video, that "it is so unsafe. I have men that cannot speak English in my front yard screaming at me, throwing mattresses in my front yard, throwing trash in my front yard." She and her husband feel they are being forced out of their home of 45 years.
Independent journalist Tyler Oliveira has posted many video interviews of Springfield residents on X, including one viewed 1.7 million times of a black veteran explaining how he's been unable to obtain Medicaid while social services are overwhelmed by Haitian migrants. In another video showing an hours-long waiting line for benefits, an officer estimated that the ratio during the morning is 9-to-1 Haitians compared with locals.
I'd recommend any readers actually interested in the truth step outside the MSM bubble and check out what Haitian culture actually looks like and consider what the impact of 20K being flown into a small midwestern town might be. It is very un-Christian to support doing this to people, least of all with tax dollars.

This is an old racist trope used to stir up hatred toward immigrant groups. It's been done before and JD Vance and Donald Trump are doing it again. The current "rumors" likely started from an AMERICAN black woman (not a Haitian) who reportedly ate a cat in another city entirely. Even though the Springfield PD has said there have been no credible reports of this happening, people still run with it.

But it's the same deal as with the immigrant who killed the kid in a car wreck. It's all meant to rile up hate toward immigrants, except most of these immigrants are legal. It's pure racism, plain and simple.

Yet another characteristic of fascism that these people are flaunting in plain sight: unifying against a common enemy that people blame for society's problems.

It would be perfectly reasonable to raise concerns about how an influx of 20k people into a town of 50k has caused problems, such as strain on resources, increased auto accidents, and housing shortages. but that's not what's happening here.

Dude, they eat cats. They eat them in Haiti, and they eat them when they come over to the US. As I said, they eat dirt cookies that's a mix of dirt and fat.

This is a story much older than the recent Ohio flare up. Different cultures eat different things, as we remember from the Wuhan wet market, the Chinese eat things much more disgusting than cat.

I don't know why the rush to defend Haiti from the left. I remember the outrage when Trump called it a "****hole" years ago.

The vast majority of Haiti is Catholic. I'm a hardcore Catholic nationalist. I would love for them to be awesome. But they're not

It's not racist, haiti is a ****hole country. Haiti is racist. They killed all the whites, and when they were all gone they went ahead and killed all the mixed race just to be safe.

I don't care what the local police say, there are too many reports from locals about animals disappearing that fits into line with what Haitians are literally known for to be just smoke.

I will also point out that in 2004 the gang that deposed Haiti's first democratically elected President was named "the cannibals"

Hey, just moderately curious, but what would cause something like that to happen in the early 19th century? Hmm? Why? Just racist people killing innocent whites? Totally nothing else happening? And how did nations like France respond? And how did that response change the situation in Haiti?

Also, "I don't care what every official in the city says, I just believe what validates my prejudices" is a hell of a tell.

How does incredible poverty influence people? Would you like to go through some less stellar moments in European history and the food choices made? Geo****ia is extremely common historically, particularly in populations with low iron and poor diet.

Haiti had every right to fight off their genocidal colonizers, and the attempt to characterize them as savages for doing so is ridiculous.

No one disputes that Haiti is very poor and has an incredible amount of problems, but using that as an attempt to hate a nation of people is really gross.

Colonizers have tried to genocide the colonized since forever. And again, it doesn't have to mean killing every last person. It can also mean destroying entire societies such that they cannot function and will be gone within a generation.

I know I shouldn't be shocked by anything anymore, but it's really shocking hearing conservative Christians continuously defend these things (or deny them), and scold colonized people for resisting their own extermination. But if anything it's a lesson that history really never changes.

Give me a break. They slaughtered anyone with a drop of white blood. The Belgians were absolutely deserving of getting killed by the Congolese but that doesn't mean the Stanleyville Massacre and murder of women and children was warranted.

Again, if the French had wanted to destroy the Haitians so that these gone within a generation; there would be no Haiti today. The French had the power to do so, and the Haitians could not have stopped them.

I believe it was around 20. However, the life expectancy for the average Frenchman was 25 at the same time.

Presently Haitian life expectancy is 64 years, vs 82 for France.

Nearly the same proportion.

This is absolutely not true. Polish legionaries and German settlers sided with the Haitians as did a large number of mixed race people. The brutality was against the French.

No. What was the life expectancy of a man brought into slavery on St. Domingue and sent to work on a sugar plantation? How long did they survive on average? The answer for sugar plantations was 2-3 years. 7 years on average if you include coffee and tobacco plantations. We have records of punishments that include amputation, staking individuals out so they could be swarmed by insects, burned alive, raped as punishment, etc, by the "Christian" gentlemen of France.

Yes, you're right. The ones that helped them kill the other Europeans they allowed to live. However you'll notice this quote doesn't say Frenchmen:

""For our declaration of independence, we should have the skin of a white man for parchment, his skull for an inkwell, his blood for ink, and a bayonet for a pen!"
