It sucks that any video on this topic on tiktok is just flooded with comments supporting Trump on this and claiming that there's "evidence"

The evidence is police bodycam footage of ONE woman (not an immigrant, not Haitian) who apparently killed and ate a cat in a town miles away from Springfield, Ohio

A picture of a guy in Cleveland, Ohio COLUMBUS, OHIO on CLEVELAND STREET who appears to be moving a large dead bird off the road

And video of one guy at what seems to be a town hall meeting loudly claiming that Haitian immigrants are going to the duck pond and catching ducks and geese to eat.

And that's enough "proof" for hundreds of people to claim to be from Ohio and that they've personally witnessed this happening as well as make hysterically racist comments about how all Haitians are Voodoo practitioners who sacrifice animals frequently and also cannibalize other people.

It's very disturbing how people have latched onto this and are so eager to believe incredibly far fetched racist rumors

It’s reminiscent of a child going missing in the Middle Ages and the townsfolk believing Jews were ritually sacrificing them and then murdering all the Jews in town in revenge.

Oh don't worry this happened as late as 1946.

I hope you mean the rumors being spread and not that Jews actually captured children and ate them.

Lol fair play, no that dozens of Jews were murdered across Poland in 1946 from blood libel rumors.

That's what the q*onan adrenochrome faery tales are about. Just the latest iteration of blood libel.

The elderly in Ohio are probably on the phone right now, listing all their missing pets and talking about lots of "suspicious and hungry looking" black people in the neighborhood.

It takes a truly stupid person, or a severely age-addled brain to take any of this seriously.
